On its own secluded, wild-feeling bay just north of Hat Bang Thao, this is an exquisite top-end choice. Chic, contemporary-Thai rooms come decked out with dark woods, ceramic-bowl sinks and Apple gadgets. Villas have dark-tiled pools and open-air bathtubs. A laid-back lounge-bar overlooks the beachside pool. Dine at three excellent on-site restaurants or at a private lantern-lit beach table.
A kids club keeps the little ones happy and there are family-sized villas, along with kayaks to borrow and a quality spa.
