Notable
An on-site dive centre runs reef excursions across the surrounding national marine park.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Guests are treated to luxurious accommodations within an unpretentious compound of thatched-roofed, teakwood structures.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Laem Tong Beach sits at the island's quiet northern tip, surrounded by the coral reefs of the national marine park.
The rooms
Thatched teak villas have draped mosquito netting, and wide verandas step down to private open-air garden showers.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The 20-meter beachfront pool borders the sand, lined with parasols and loungers looking out across the bay.
The spa
Zeavola Spa draws on Southern Thai healing traditions and local botanicals, with treatments set in timber rooms or private gardens.
At the table
Edgewater Bar & Grill serves grilled seafood beside the sand, and timber-framed Mala Kitchen prepares Southern Thai recipes.
How it began
Pioneer Khun Quanchai built the retreat entirely of timber in 2005, drawing on rural architecture before Outrigger took over and refreshed it.
