Cape Pakarang Wow Wild Wellness Escapes

Forget “hotel” or “resort” — this place transcends such descriptors. Stylish private cottages (some like ours, with private pools) open seamlessly into lush gardens, creating the feeling of living outdoors in total comfort and privacy. The infinity pool peers out over the most breathtaking beach, while the peninsula setting gifts both sunrise and sunset, with calm waters on one side and surfing opportunities on the other. The food? Next-level. From inventive breakfasts to the Spanish-inspired “Thaipas” menu, every bite is artful and unforgettable. Oh, and the cocktails are heavenly… What makes it extraordinary, though, is the vision behind it. Belgian owner Zofie has created more than a getaway: she’s built a haven where guests can recharge in nature, locals thrive, and the land has been lovingly restored following the devastating tsunami. The photos do not do it justice. This is not just a holiday. It’s a slice of heaven you’ll never want to leave.

This place cannot be highly rated enough - what Zofie and her team have done here is nothing short of magical. From start to finish, we were looked after, treated with personalised and friendly service, with her messaging us and greeting us on our transfer from Phuket. From there we were shown through the property and to our stunning pool-side villa. The room alone is worth it for the price - it is an architectural marvel, with thoughtful design decisions throughout that focus on simplicity and sustainability, and practicality. It’s a wonderful balance of modern and warm, and every time you step in is truly a “wow” moment. We couldn't get enough of it, and yes, the pool villa is worth the upgrade! Also of note is the main pool, which is perfect for dipping into during the day, but comes alive at night with star-lights embedded in to the pool. The breakfast service is wonderful, with lots of options, and Malamar (the next-door restaurant) really completes the resort - the food has the same level of care and attention to detail that the main accomodation does, and the staff are wonderful. One of the best reasons to stay here is that there only eight rooms in the entire resort - meaning that you really do feel you are in your own slice of paradise. It also allows personalised service from Zofie, who consistently went above and beyond to make us comfortable throughout our stay. We would recommend this to any couple who wants to truly relax and unwind.

We haf a wonderful stay overall! The hotel and entire property are beautiful – stylish rooms, great pool, and a very welcoming atmosphere. Staff was very friendly. Only downside: no direct beach access, but the Lookout offers great views. Would definitely recommend! Let me know if you'd like it even shorter or with a different tone!
