The land is the hotel.
A garden retreat on the Gulf of Thailand
Three rai of tropical garden, built from empty land into something that feels like it has been here for decades. The land was chosen for one reason: Mae Ram Phueng Beach, ten minutes on foot, and the feeling it gave us the first time we walked it.
Driftwood sculptures line the corridors. Original art hangs in every room and along the walkways. Books fill the shelves — in the library, in the rooms, on the mezzanine. The pool sits between the trees, surrounded by stone and planting.
Nothing here was chosen from a catalogue. The property was assembled piece by piece, and it shows — in the best way.
The land rewards a longer stay — quiet enough to work, slow enough to settle in. Some guests come for a month.
Three rai of living, breathing ground.
The property sits inside a tropical garden — driftwood sculptures, birds that arrive before breakfast, and corridors lined with found objects and original art.
Three rai of land in Rayong, on the eastern seaboard of the Gulf of Thailand. Close to Mae Ram Phueng Beach, the morning market, and the working coast that makes this province worth knowing.
The living room is outside.
The pool sits low among the trees — stone-edged, garden on every side. No deck chairs in rows. No pool bar. Just water, shade, and the sound of the garden doing what it does.
The beach is ten minutes on foot.
Mae Ram Phueng Beach picks up swell from April through the low season. Boards are available at the retreat. Walk down, paddle out, and be back in the garden before lunch.
Surfboard hire is included for direct booking guests.
The property is the point.
Sauna
Available anytime. Let us know at reception or via WhatsApp and we will have it ready for you.
Guest kitchen
Everything you need to cook for yourself. Stock up at the morning market and make it your own.
Library & coworking
A long teak table beneath original paintings, pendant lights, and fast wifi — an on-site coworking space for guests and gym members. Somewhere to actually work, quiet in the garden morning.
Training
A jiu-jitsu mat and yoga space for those who want to move. An open-air gym for those who want to train.
A province that has not been packaged.
Rayong is still itself — a working province with real coast, real food, and real forest. The morning market starts at 5am. The fishermen eat where you eat. The beach is not a postcard. It is a living stretch of the Gulf of Thailand, ten minutes on foot from your room.
Two and a half hours from Bangkok. Close enough to reach. Far enough to feel different. Near Suvarnabhumi Airport and U-Tapao Airport, with Koh Samet a short boat ride from the pier.

A room built for stillness.
Books line the corridors and fill the shelves in every room. The library workspace sits at the heart of the property — a long teak table beneath original paintings, pendant lights, and the quiet of a garden in the morning. Work here. Read here. Or just sit with a coffee and let the morning pass.
A week here.
The same rhythm every week, so you always know what the day holds. Movement in the morning, space in the afternoon, sauna before dark. Come for one class or fall into the whole week — it runs whether you join or not.
