Rooms and suites combine traditional southern Thai architecture with contemporary luxury to encourage beachfront bliss from the moment you walk in. Once you’ve explored every indulgent detail, set up for a day of sunshine by the slate-sided pool or white sands of Chaweng Beach, with a soundtrack of lapping water and refreshments courtesy of the Beach Bar. When hunger strikes, venture to the oceanfront Beach Club restaurant, where sensational seafood is transformed into modern Thai dishes, served alongside a selection of wines from the old and new world. When you’re ready to be pampered, Nam Thai Herbal Spa is home to one-of-a-kind treatments in a lush tropical setting, dialling up the relaxation levels to ‘heavenly’.
