Transform your world as you step into the tranquility of sanctuary life amidst the beautiful forest bordering the Khao Phra Thaeo National Park.

The lush hills and nearby beaches of Karon will be your vibrant playground for this escapade. Phuket's finest beaches are within reach. Kata beach, just below the hills of Karon is actually made up of two main beaches, Kata Yai and Kata Noi. Kata Yai (big Kata) has soft, powdery sand meeting turquoise water which swings from a mill pond in the dry season to a small surf beach in the wet.

Commercial areas are also nearby, streets teeming with restaurants, accommodations, and other business establishments. With vast views of the Andaman sea, fine beaches, and nearby commercial centers, this is the perfect location for a fun and invigorating retreat.
