The resort derived from the desire for a place of comfort and style. Simple, yet equipped with features equalling those of a standard modern homes. The location itself, and the natural beauty of Lanta Island imply the simplicity of life, hence its architecture, which was designed as a mere context whilst the surroundings became the content.
