“Traffic and noise are annoying,” says Jamnong Bootsong, executive assistant manager at this resort about 10 minutes outside downtown Hua Hin. “Here, it’s all about privacy.” No question about that. Not only are most of the 67 units set well away from the lobby, restaurant and main pool area, they are sufficiently separated from one another, thanks to high walls and hedges.
 
If the solitude doesn’t strike you at first, the architecture will. A contemporary collage of browns, grays and greens, the resort blends seamlessly into the rural landscape, teeming with natural lagoons, cattail, sugar cane and rice. Wooden, elevated walkways connect the villas - all with sala roof gardens - to the public parts of the property, including the creatively imagined thatched-roof, bamboo-walled, open-air spa pavilion.
