Treehouse is on a
secluded cove around a small headland just northeast of Koh Tui, about a 15-minute
beach walk from the pier. There are five pricier 'treehouses' - raised bungalows with
prime sea views - and seven stand-alone bungalows nestled in the canopy at the back.
They are delightfully rustic, with sturdy beds, clean private bathrooms and sea-facing bal-
conies with hammocks. Nonguests should drop by to sample the delicious wood-fired
pizza.

show a pulse on most evenings, with hip tunes, friendly bartenders and at least a few folks
showing up to socialise. Bungalows have two double beds and can sleep four. The cheaper
ones are down by the beach, while the pricier ones are at the back.
