Thailand’s five-star 56-roomed boutique residence, the Sarojin is located in Khao Lak, Phang Nga province, Thailand, just an hour’s drive north of Phuket International Airport. The resort is beautifully ensconced in a lush tropical garden setting with direct private access onto a secluded 11km white beach by the Andaman Sea. By virtue of being sheltered by Pakarang Cape, a coral cape headland, The Sarojin beach provides year-round swimming and water sports.
The Sarojin is surrounded inland by five spectacular primary forest national parks including the adventurous Khao Lak and Khao Sok National Parks. The world famous dive sanctuaries of the Similan Islands and Surin Islands, (one of the top ten world dive sites), is less than an hour away by boat (direct from their beach). Phang Nga Bay renowned for its dramatic limestone islands and captivating sea cave canoe journeys is 45 minutes away. Three 18-hole golf courses all are easily accessible within 20-60 minutes. Truly something for everyone!
The resort has just launched a new ‘Sarojin Cares Adventure’ package for travellers wanting to explore Khao Lak’s jungles, waters, wildlife and communities in 2021 and at the same time looking to travel more consciously and give back during their stay. The package combines a luxurious stay with unforgettable excursions including a bamboo raft jungle safari, longtail boat experience and a personalised tour to discover a more authentic glimpse of local Thai life.

Guests can begin their stay with a ‘Just For Two’ Sea Adventures trip to Phang Nga Bay, which departs early to catch a glimpse of the picturesque sunrise. A morning of traversing the waters aboard a traditional fisherman’s longtail boat is then followed by a sea cave canoeing experience amongst the region’s iconic limestone karst rocks and a stop at Tapu Island - more famously known as ‘James Bond Island’.
