; houses from 3000B; )
At the northern end of the beach is
this collection of Thai-style homes, each unique in size and design, rented out on behalf of
absentee owners. They come with patios, kitchens and amenities, and some have pools to
make extended stays very comfortable. They're hidden in forested grounds that stretch all
the way back to luscious limestone cliffs.
Houses sleep between two and eight people comfortably. It's a superb deal and a ro-
mantic location, so book well in advance for the high season. Their in-house massage
therapist is a cheerful former Muay Thai boxer, and she'll happily pummel you deep into
wellness.

; Hat Railay East; bungalows 1300B)
A collection of tin-roof,
woven-bamboo bungalows, stilted high above the mangroves on the east beach. They look
weather beaten from the outside, but are spacious and super clean, and graced with Thai
linens, creative concrete baths and there's a cushioned seating area on the floor, too. Bring
mosquito repellent, and all will be peachy.

them bright but not private. The interiors are country chic, with cream-and-beige plaid
duvets and plenty of hardwoods.
