Centuries old tropical rainforests encompass the resort, offering the weary urbanite an idyllic natural haven.
Walk along open corridors and pathways from the main building to enchanting villas, completely secluded and scattered throughout the forest. All open out onto spacious balconies with romantic views of the shimmering Andaman Sea or lush jungle.
