Dining
Your culinary journey at the resort focuses on fresh, local flavours and a sensory atmosphere. You can choose from Bed and Breakfast or Half Board meal plans to suit your holiday style. The Bhandari Restaurant serves as the heart of the resort, where you can dine in an open-air pavilion surrounded by peaceful lotus ponds. Imagine starting your day with a tropical breakfast while listening to the sounds of exotic birds, or enjoying a dinner infused with aromatic lemongrass and Thai spices as the evening breeze cools the air. For a more casual setting, the Leela Restaurant offers a variety of international dishes and local favourites.
Pools and Spa
The resort features a large, free-form outdoor swimming pool that winds through the lush gardens like a natural lagoon, providing plenty of shaded spots for you to relax. If you are looking for deeper relaxation, the Bhandari Spa is a sanctuary of wellness. Please note that the use of the Spa centre, including massages, beauty treatments, the sauna, and the steam room, is subject to additional charges. It is the perfect place to treat yourself to a traditional Thai massage after a day of sightseeing.
Beach
The beautiful Nang Thong Beach is located within walking distance, approx. 100 metres from the resort entrance. This stretch of coastline is famous for its sunset views and soft sand. Because the beach is a public area, we recommend checking locally for any specific sun lounger arrangements, or simply taking a towel down to find your own quiet spot by the Andaman Sea.
Sport and Entertainment
If you like to stay active, you can make use of the on-site gym or explore the local area on foot. The atmosphere at the resort is tranquil and laid-back, catering to those who prefer a quiet drink at the Big Tree Bar over loud late-night entertainment. You can also spend a quiet afternoon in the resort’s library, which offers a peaceful space to escape the midday sun with a good book.
Family Amenities
While the resort is a haven for peace, families are more than welcome. Younger guests can enjoy the dedicated children’s section of the main swimming pool, which is ideal for a supervised splash. The spacious gardens provide a wonderful natural environment for children to explore, and baby cots can be provided in your room upon request.
