In the know
Our favourite rooms
All the villas have the same elegant but unfussy modern Thai design – textured walls, bamboo and teak panels, natural-toned and russet silks and linens – complete with separate living room, mini-kitchen, marble-clad bathroom, terrace and plunge pool. If you want absolute privacy, or are a golf fan, the rooms overlooking the course are furthest from the lobby and restaurant.
Packing tips
Warm sweater or pashmina for chilly evenings, your Polo Ralph Lauren golf attire, and binoculars for observing elephants.
Also
If you're not in the mood to mix with other guests, the villas have personal butlers on 24-hour call. They can organise just about everything, including private dinners in your villa, whipped up by a personal chef, and in-room spa treatments (both cost extra).
