Sarojin Resort, Phang Nga, Thailand

The Sarojin.
Awards and Accolades.
The Sarojin won "World Luxury Romantic Hotel" at the World Luxury Hotel Awards 2007; "Asia's Leading Boutique Hotel" at World Travel Awards 2006; was included in the Conde Nast Traveler US Hot List for both hotels and spas in 2006 and appeared as the front cover of the Conde Nast Traveler US October 2006 issue.

More than "a resort", The Sarojin is 55 minutes drive from Phuket Airport and borders several national parks and the world famous dive sanctuaries of the Similan and Surin Islands. The Sarojin delights in offering guests a high level of personal service and far more than a traditional resort experience. With its own team of personal guides, luxury boat, fleet of cars for exclusive use of guests and "imaginer" - the ultimate personal concierge, The Sarojin delights in tailor-making days to suit.

Perhaps a private charter on the luxury boat Lady Sarojin, or a personal jungle adventure "just for two complete" with champagne? A Thai cooking class and lunch by a waterfall? A romantic private barbecue on The Sarojin's own secluded white beach....The Sarojin offers guests a truly unforgettable experience - "the limits are only your imagination…"

The Sarojin imparts unique, revitalizing experiences that last...so much so, that a sojourn with us is reminiscent of "staying as a guest at a friend's private estate". Designed in a contemporary Asian style, lines blur and merge simultaneously with the natural local elements and landscape.

The spiritual heart of the resort is an age old giant Fichus tree. A magnificent soul-soothing reflective lotus pond brings a sense of grandeur and peace to your environment. 56 Guest Residences nestle within the 10-acre grounds.

Private access leads directly to an expansive white beach and the crystalline waters of the Andaman Sea that provide year-round swimming and water sports. Abundant space and privacy blend harmoniously with nature, offering a rare oasis for relaxation.

The grounds, walkways, sumptuous onyx infinity pool, lotus ponds, pure white beaches and restaurants serving scrumptious delicacies, they're all yours. When you choose. If you choose. Live Sarojin-style, in harmony and natural elegance as a guest who is the jewel in her crown.

56 Guest Residences are situated in 7 separate two-storey buildings. Careful design allows abundant space and privacy to blend harmoniously with nature. Sublime, serene, peaceful.

Residences with private gardens and "sala" sundecks, with intimate couples' baths, with rainfall showers, with plunge pools and spa pools that blend into the natural habitat - this is the kind of pampered, thoughtful experience The Sarojin provides.

Each Guest Residence is privately entered by crossing a stream via the grounds and through a private garden terrace - all around nature abounds in a botanical haven filled with wild fruit, herb gardens and local species of trees.

Accommodations at The Sarojin are neither frivolous nor spartan. They are designed to relax and refresh your senses both visually and physically. The color palate is soft and modern. The amenities are complete.

Pathways is a secluded spa haven floating over the main estuary and central energy lay line of The Sarojin and hidden from view by mangroves. It looks out across the estuary to a deserted coconut grove and beyond to the Andaman Sea. Rustic yet comfortable, and privately entered by a meandering boardwalk, Pathways is a discovered place and forms a key part of The Sarojin's 'well being' experience.

Pathways blends together the ancient physical and spiritual healing of spa, creating an almost sacred natural harmony for physical and spiritual nourishment. Ancient therapies, wisdom and massage techniques are combined with modern comforts to help relax, awaken and love body and soul.

Rest the mind through our meditation techniques, indulge in yoga and tai chi to awaken and calm the body. Pathways features two double and two single treatment pavilions, with outdoor tree showers and secluded couples' baths set among natural surrounds, a facial treatment room, a post treatment relaxation lounging area and a stilted Yoga and Tai Chi deck shaded by palms and mangrove canopy.

Pathways brings you a host of treatments that will soothe you, enrich you and re-invigorate your entire persona. Browse among our offering and just imagine...
