Direct beach access in Mae Haad
The hotel sits on the beachfront in Mae Haad, one of Koh Phangan's calmer shoreline areas on the northwest coast. Guests have direct access to the beach without a walk or transfer, which is the main reason most people choose this address.
Outdoor pool and grounds
The outdoor swimming pool is the central gathering point on the property. It sits apart from the beach, giving guests a choice between the two. The gardens visible from several room categories keep a low, green profile around the buildings.
Villas with private outdoor space
The villa categories each cover 40 m² and come as standalone structures rather than hotel rooms. Both the garden-view and beachfront variants have a balcony, patio, and terrace, with the beachfront villa adding sea views and direct proximity to the water.
Room categories and views
The property runs five distinct room and villa types. Views range from mountain-facing in the entry-level rooms to garden-facing in mid-tier options and sea-facing in the beachfront villa. Each type has air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, and a private bathroom.
