4-star rainforest resort with direct access to a 400-metre private beach and views of Phang Nga Bay

Accommodations and Rooms

The hotel has 12 villas spread across rainforest grounds, each decorated with local hand-crafted artworks and furnishings. Each bungalow uses a semi-open concept and offers an outdoor rainshower facility, along with a private terrace that includes deck chairs and an umbrella. Room views face either the ocean or the rainforest, and the upper-level villas (numbers starting with 1, 2, or 3) are closest to the beach and restaurant.

Dining and Bars

Khayee Restaurant serves local and international cuisine in an outdoor, open-air setting. Krachang Bar & Grill offers fresh seafood dishes on the beach, while the pool bar provides drinks and light snacks throughout the day. Both restaurants use ingredients fresh from the Andaman Sea, and the coffee shop, The Nest, offers cakes and ice cream adjacent to the lobby.

Amenities, Pools, and Activities

The property has two infinity pools shared by all 12 villas, with one pool bar and a separate Fit Bar serving detox drinks. Guests can use stand-up paddleboards and kayaks free of charge from the private 400-metre beach. The Activity Centre arranges island-hopping tours, on-site cooking classes using herbs from the organic garden, and free mountain bike rentals for up to three hours a day.

Wellness and Spa

The Kao Signature Spa uses traditional Thai healing arts in its treatments, and the spa is set within the jungle with sound of wildlife as background. Spa packages include full-body massage, foot massage, head massage, and neck massage, all available on-site. A fitness centre with one working treadmill is located near the lobby.

Wonderful Villa Stay!

smooth transport cute staff private pool great housekeeping

My transport from Phuket Airport, including boat and taxi, was arranged by the hotel. It all went very smoothly! The staff was friendly. Smiles felt genuine and cute. The resort was clean. Jungle around added a nice touch. I stayed in a villa near the beach with a private pool for a few nights. The room had an outdoor bathtub. Housekeeping was great. A mosquito net was over the bed. Breakfast had a varied menu and tasty food. I had no stomach issues. The beach was beautiful and well maintained, though it's shallow for a long stretch. The resort also had a big shared pool. The value for money felt good. I recommend this place warmly.

The AC in my room was tricky, sometimes too hot and sometimes too cold. I had to keep adjusting it at night.

Facilities

9/10

The resort features multiple restaurants. I noticed an activity point, a gym, and a café right on the premises, providing guests with numerous options for dining, recreation, and exercise throughout their stay. The common swimming pool is expansive. It offers ample space for all guests.

Location

10/10

The hotel is positioned a short drive from the pier. The island itself is very beautiful and has a serene atmosphere. This adds to the relaxed vibe of the resort. The setting is private and quiet.
