Let the Thai blue ocean views lull you into the blissful pace of the island's tranquil living. Sink into one of the shaded cushioned day beds and sun loungers around your private freeform swimming pool and beachside gardens. Bathe and shower by starlight in your outdoor bathroom – a jungle hideaway of elephant ear palms and other lush green drapings.

Built of sustainable woods, your Bayview Pool Villa Suite invites you to experience life in the trees. Awaken in the soft organic cotton sheets of your master bedroom's pillow-topped king-size bed. Gaze at the Thai jungle's primeval artistry in comfort. Then head to one of your elevated decks and pavilions or descend to your spacious pool area.

Feel the primal satisfaction of standing on high and surveying the world before you, or retreat into the intimate hidden nooks and niches, sealing yourself away into a world of your own amidst the lush green jungle.

Awaken in the luxurious master bedroom suite. Proceed through your private dressing area to a glorious open-air bathroom. Promenade to the spiral staircase behind your retreat's second bedroom pavilion and descend to the dining area for a breakfast in the intimacy of the retreat. Continue onwards to the entertainment pavilion and kick back with a leisurely game or two, or perhaps dip into your half-moon pool.

Perched atop rocky cliffs and sheltered amidst verdant tree canopy, the Dining Room entreats you to share in these lavishly simple moments. Its rustic-chic design serves as a natural complement to the beauty of the views.

Our unique Treepod Dining experience invites you to take fine dining to new heights. Comfortably seated in a bamboo pod, we gently hoist you high up into the tropical foliage of Koh Kood’s ancient rainforest. Gaze out across the boulder-covered shoreline dancing with gentle waves, as you savour gourmet delights and your chosen wines, delivered via the zip-line acrobatics of your personal waiter. 

Gaze at the ocean as you catch the delicious drips from your choice of over sixty constantly changing flavours of homemade ice creams and sorbets at So Chilled.

Intimate yet dramatic, The View thrusts you into the infinite horizon. Dine cantilevered over the cliff and savour your selection of creations made in the slow food tradition – lovingly prepared with locally sourced produce and Western cooking techniques, making the most of the season and each day's harvest.

The finest cuisine is prepared with heart and soul. Each bite tells a story – a connection to the land, to personal memories, to emotion and history. Sense this connection in the exquisite flavours and aromas of Benz's.

Jump aboard a personal electric buggy and be whisked on the short trip to The Beach. Settle into rustic wooden chairs set directly on the sand or lounge on king-sized swinging day beds, rocking you gently with a light ocean breeze. Delight in a casual lunch, with specialties cooked to order in wood-fired and tandoori ovens or grilled over the charcoal pit.

In life there is often an ecstatic joy in things just below the surface – the emotions unspoken, palpable tension, exquisite anticipation. And then there is the rush of breaking the surface, reaching and immersing yourself full body.

Koh Chang National Park offers two-dozen dive sites down to 30 metres though much of the more colourful coral thrives closer to the surface, around 12 metres.

Treat yourself to world-spanning excursions – from locally inspired treatments to the healing therapies of Asia and beyond. Mud massages, Thai herbal baths, silk facials, warm oils of Ayurveda and a rich selection of wellness rituals await your choosing.

Cinema Paradiso marries three passions close to our heart – classical beauty and elegance, immersion in nature and relaxed indulgence...a luxury that lets its hair down and kicks off its shoes.

Here, on remote Koh Kood, we felt a sense of wonder as we stared into its open sky, far from the obscuring lights of civilization. That’s why we were inspired to build a state-of-the-art observatory.
