Almost completely hidden by a grove of coconut palms, this resort has more than 100 thatch-roof cottages overlooking a quiet beach. You know this place is special when you walk into the lobby, which has a sweeping view of the Andaman Sea. The decor is sleek and geometric. An octagonal pool is set amid the tropical flora. Each of the cottages has its own sundeck. The interiors, done in wood and stone, with high, pointed ceilings, are simple but elegant. Pros: great location; private beach. Cons: layout a little confusing; isolated.
