Why It Matters
Featured by the Michelin Guide and Tablet Hotels. Only 8 units on the entire 10,000+ sqm property. Land originally owned by tsunami survivors whose foundation sent hundreds of local children to university. Fully rainwater-powered, plastic-free, and plant-forward — sustainability here is design, not marketing. Every stay includes a personal well-being guide, daily included yoga sessions, and a complimentary à la carte plant-based breakfast.
Eight adults-only beach villas on a narrow peninsula called Laem Pakarang — Coral Cape — in Khao Lak, Phang Nga. The land was owned by tsunami survivors, and founders Bart and Zofie spent years searching Thailand before building this place from the ground up. The whole thing is run with a genuine sustainability obsession: rainwater powers the showers, all soaps are handmade and edible-ingredient-based, the breakfast is plant-forward and made from scratch, and they won't let you ride an elephant. Michelin listed. Rated 5/5 across 36 TripAdvisor reviews.
Where You'll Stay
3 room types available
Bird Nest
The entry-level option at 60 sqm. No private pool — access to the shared lagoon pool instead. Elevated position with views and a spacious balcony. Everything else matches the other suites: same handmade soaps, same sheets, same inclusion package. Good for those who don't need a private plunge pool and want to save.
King · 60 sqmGrounding Suite
80 sqm with a private plunge pool set among coconut palms. One notch down from the Pool Villa in size but shares the same design DNA: open, nature-integrated, and built for rest. Guests describe it as feeling like a private jungle hideaway.
King · 80 sqmPool Villa
The top-tier option. 100 sqm with direct ocean views and a sunrise-facing private plunge pool. Floor-to-ceiling windows fold open so the inside and outside dissolve into each other. Guests consistently mention the floor-to-ceiling windows, double rain shower, and the giant plunge pool glowing at night.

On Property
How you'll actually spend your days.
The Laem Pakarang peninsula has walking paths to both Coconut Beach and Memories surf beach (about 15 minutes each direction). The cape tip itself is walkable at low tide, great for watching sunsets and fishing boats.
Nature-inspired creative sessions included in the weekly Rise & Shine program — guests have described flower-hammering on linen with natural pigments and dreamcatcher-making. Relaxing and meditative rather than technically demanding.
Visits to an ethical elephant sanctuary — no riding, strictly observation. The property is explicit that wild animals should stay wild and screens any partner sanctuary accordingly.
Day trips to one of Thailand's oldest evergreen rainforests, roughly an hour and a half from the property. The team helps arrange these. Options include jungle trekking, boat trips on Cheow Lan Lake, and wildlife spotting.
Day trips to Phang Nga Bay, including the iconic James Bond Island limestone formations. Organizable through the property.
Outdoor yoga, breathwork, and creative craft sessions held three times a week. Suitable for all levels. Takes place at the property's 'magic hat' pavilion. Yoga mat is provided. A 60-minute session that includes yoga and a creative mindfulness element like flower-hammering or dreamcatcher-making.
The property arranges day trips or multi-day live-aboard dive trips to the Similan and Surin Islands, considered some of the best dive sites in Southeast Asia. Bookable through the well-being guide.
Memories Beach is a short drive away and is the surf spot of Khao Lak. Surf season runs May to October when the monsoon swells arrive. Board rental and lessons available at the beach itself (~1,000 THB/hour for lessons, ~200 THB/hour for board rental).
Guided or self-guided exploration of Takuapa old town, one of the well-preserved southern Thai heritage towns near Khao Lak.
Amenities & Practical Info
The details that matter for planning.
Direct access to the beach at the cape, including complimentary beach umbrellas and towels. Note: the cape itself is rocky and wild — not ideal for swimming. Coconut Beach and Memories Beach are a 15-minute walk each for proper swimming.
Every stay includes a dedicated personal well-being guide — described as a cross between a butler and a best friend. They handle tips, logistics, activity bookings, and ensure the stay flows effortlessly. Owner Zofie is frequently cited by name in reviews.
Free WiFi throughout the property, plus USB charging stations and universal plugs in every suite.
Outdoor sun terrace and picnic area available to guests within the lush tropical garden grounds.
A shared lagoon-style infinity pool overlooking the sea. Lit up at night — multiple guests compare it to a fairy tale. Suitable for lap swimming and open to all guests. The Pool Villa and Grounding Suite also have private plunge pools.
Daily maid service included for all suites.
Complimentary luggage storage available for early arrivals or late departures.
100% of the property's water needs are met by on-site rainwater collection and filtering. Drinking water served in glass bottles. Garden irrigated by greywater. A genuine operational commitment, not a marketing footnote.

Private door-to-door transfer from Phuket International Airport available at additional cost. Includes Wi-Fi, refreshments, and cold towels. About 75 minutes drive.
