Designed by the renowned architect and interior designer Bill Bensley, this chic resort is located on the northwestern tip of Thailand’s third largest island overlooking the Gulf of Siam’s blue waters. The 70 villas and private residences boast a contemporary Thai-infused rusticism and guests can enjoy exclusive access to the island’s only private beach. For those looking to do more than just sunbathe, a Muay Thai training ring allows for private lessons with professional fighters and the spa conveniently offers a recovery treatment for those sore muscles.
