• Fancy facilities: Inside the luxury continues, with a flurry of impressive facilities designed to make your stay as relaxing as possible. Base yourself at one of the palm-fringed swimming pools or pad down to the private stretch of sand for a spot of sun-seeking before working up a sweat in the well-equipped gym or reviving your senses in the sauna and Jacuzzi.

Feast on buffet-style breakfasts and authentic Thai dinners at the all-day dining restaurant or enjoy casual barbeques with sea views at the beachfront restaurant.
