Much of the construction consists of high-quality teak wood, known for its durability and warm, golden color. Artfully hand-carved teak elements, crafted by local artisans, adorn the walls, doors, and furniture, adding an authentic, cultural touch to the premises. The resort features a total of 226 stylishly furnished rooms distributed across several charming buildings. The inviting reception area with cozy seating welcomes guests warmly. Culinary delights are offered at the resort's seven restaurants, which provide a diverse selection of international and Thai specialties. The resort offers delicious dishes and refreshing drinks in a stylish bar, which is a perfect place for relaxing and social hours. The Ayurvana Spa is a true highlight of the resort, where guests can indulge in soothing massages and treatments. For additional relaxation, there are two magnificent pools, including a breathtaking infinity pool, as well as a children's pool for younger guests. Spacious sun terraces invite guests to sunbathe and linger, with sun loungers and umbrellas provided free of charge both at the pool and on the beach.
