Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.

The spa
Treatment rooms and open-air cabanas host therapies rooted in the five natural elements and organic botanicals.
The gym
Mirrored walls face the tropical greenery inside the fitness centre, alongside daily yoga sessions and bay paddleboarding.
Rock Salt Restaurant & Lounge
Tables sit right against shoreline granite rocks, serving wood-fired pizzas and fresh seafood just above the sand.
Reflections Rooftop Bar & Lounge
Sunken seating pods sit inside an infinity reflecting pool, where fire features light up evening cocktail hours.
At the table
Cosmo prepares Southern Thai specialties and Mediterranean dishes on an open terrace looking straight out across the bay.
