From
United KingdomThis is a unique and very special place.
Yes, it is not the easiest place to get to, but the best places never are, and BABA can organise everything.
We had stayed in Phuket the night before. BABA sent a driver to pick us up and take us to the pier. Once we got to the pier, the Long Tail they organised was waiting for the 75 minutes ride between the islands and mangroves.
As we approached the resort, BABA staff could be seen driving across the beach, waving, to meet up.
BABA is spread out across a long stretch of perfect (and empty) beach.
Accommodation is along the stretch, with individual buildings on stilts.
Each building is different, but all have balconies, with loads of room and situated in the lush jungle. You can hardly see your neighbours through the trees.
A sand path runs through the jungle with paths to each accommodation leading off.
At one end of the path is their beach bar and Yoga, at the other end is their reception, restaurant and massage.
It is a 10-15 minute walk between them (this place really is spaced out).
All food is fresh, the menus change every day, and tastes fantastic.
So should you come….
It is paradise, unspoiled like Thailand used to be. Miles of empty perfect beach, wonderful water, unbelievable food. Each lodge is large and comfortable
It is also in the jungle, and monkeys will wake you up (which is fab), but if you want a City Hilton, this is not your place. If you would like wonderful paradise and don’t mind sleeping under the provided mosquito nets, this is your perfect(actually not many mosquitoes or bugs but it is jungle).
We left a little of our heart there when we left, so unique, we miss it.
