While I loved the beach, my private deck offered the most stunning elevated views of the water.
Cafe Andaman is your all-day casual dining spot with Thai and international fare.

Cafe Kantary keeps it light with premium coffee, homemade pastries, and gelato throughout the day.
I sunk my toes into the sand and feasted on a gorgeous Thai dinner.
But if you prefer more scenic cardio, start the day paddling around the cape.

I kayaked one morning and spotted tropical fish; it was the best wake-up call.
For friendly competition, join a game of beach volleyball, petanque, or badminton.
If cultural experiences are more your style, try Thai cooking classes or get creative with Batik painting workshops.
