Location
This little piece of heaven is situated in Rawai, Phuket. The location is a hillock with close proximity to the Nai-Harn beach which has been voted the Number 1 beach in Thailand and the third best in Asia by TripAdvisor. The location is a forest land that overlooks the beach on the East. The property is also very close to popular tourist haunts such as Coral Islands, Racha islands, and is about 20 minutes from Phuket town.
The best part of this fantastic location is that it is just far enough to stay away from the melee of a crowded tourist place and yet has stunning views and provides for a complete rejuvenating experience.
