The Sarojin

Rooms

The spacious guest residences have a fresh and neutral design with white linen, stone floors and wood accents. They're housed in seven individual two-storey buildings and feature open-plan bathrooms, which include a romantic couples' bath and rain showers. Outside each residence is a private sundeck and sala to provide welcome shade from the tropical sun.

All residences are equipped with individually-controlled air conditioning, king sized beds, TVs, hair dryers and complimentary Wi-Fi access.

Location

The property is in Khao Lak in Phang Nga province. It has direct access to an 11-kilometre stretch of the Andaman coastline, sheltered by the Pakarang Cape — a coral headland that offers year-round swimming. The white sand beach is sandwiched between warm waters and coconut palms, and there are a number of shops and bars within walking or cycling distance.

Food and drink

The Sarojin has two restaurants, a wine bar and many private dining options. The Edge restaurant is set on the beachfront and makes the most of the stunning sea views. Delicious Thai and seafood specialities are served alongside international dishes in an open-air timber pavilion, which creates a rustic setting for a laid-back dining experience. Ficus is located in the heart of the grounds and serves international, gourmet and Italian cuisine among the hanging roots and canopy of the ancient ficus tree. Adjacent to this is The Cellar, an open-air bar with a wine cellar stocked with fine wines from around the world.

For a more romantic, intimate experience you can choose to dine on the beach, in one of the island pavilions over the pool or in your own residence.

The Sarojin team also host weekly cocktail parties, which are fun, social occasions.

Families

Children under the age of ten are not able to stay at The Sarojin, with the property geared more toward couples than families.

Environmental and social responsibility

The Sarojin has established The Sarojin Khao Lak Community Fund, with 100% of its donations going toward helping local projects. These projects include construction of fishing boats, housing, Red Cross facilities, new school buildings, children's play and educational equipment, and orphanage support.

Diving

Diving here is among the best in the world, with the Similan Islands just off the coast often rated among the world's top ten dive sites. Visibility can be up to 30 metres and you can see manta rays, whale sharks and turtles, along with an array of colourful fish species.

The resort has its own speedboat, Lady Sarojin, to take divers out to the various sites and can arrange PADI dive courses.

Spa Facilities

The Pathways Spa is a cocoon of relaxation within the resort, offering a wide range of treatments. With both single and double treatment pavilions available, you can relax with or without a companion, and there are plenty of areas in which to unwind before and after your treatment, including bathing areas and tree showers, a lounge with daybeds, and a shady yoga and t'ai chi deck.

The spa signature massage blends Thai, Balinese, Swedish, Shiatsu and Hawaiian styles, while facials use Decléor products.
