This striking, solar-panelled restaurant by the sea embodies its 'Plant, Raise, Understand' ethos with a culinary journey showcasing seasonal, local foods. Chef Jimmy introduces diners to Thailand's unique produce, using rare ingredients in a menu that focuses on seafood, plants, and home-made preserves and fermented foods. The Japanese Kappo-style counter lends views into the open kitchen, against the backdrop of the ocean.

Jampa

European Contemporary

฿฿฿

Jampa continues its dialogue with nature through ingredients grown and gathered close to home. À la carte is available throughout the day, but the exquisitely prepared Jampa Experience at lunchtime is highly recommended, featuring complex natural flavours that evolve with the seasons. For a unique lakeside experience on Saturdays, Hideaway’s four-course lunch, cooked over a wood fire, both tantalises the taste buds and educates diners on mindful practices. A plant-forward menu is also offered as a thoughtful vegetarian option.

Five Olives

Italian, Pizza

฿฿

The Thai chef-owner draws superb flavour from a wood-fired oven, turning out Neapolitan pies with puffy, char-flecked Canotto rims and airy bases. The menu ranges from homemade pasta and creamy risotto to prime grilled meats, seafood and crisp salads, including green bowls. The braised seabass with clams is light, fresh and aromatic. Dine in the cool, air-conditioned room or on the leafy terrace; both suit laid-back gatherings among friends or family.

Thai Library

Thai, Southern

฿฿฿

Rooted in tradition, Thai Library presents a refined Southern Thai menu shaped by local recipes and ingredients. The pu phat phrik lueang – Phang-Nga mud crab sautéed with yellow chilli – delivers a slow-building heat that is balanced by the crab's natural sweetness and a savoury finish. Begin the evening outdoors, cocktail in hand, as you take in the sunset over the hotel's private beach – an unforgettable prelude to dinner.

Suay (Choeng Thale)

Thai contemporary

฿฿

The acronym of ‘sassy, unique, authentic and yummy’ may sound kitsch, but the airy and bright interior with its Portuguese-tiled floor is anything but. Outdoor seating with garden and live music is equally pleasant. Owner-chef Tammasak skilfully updates Thai food with modern techniques and artsy presentation. Dishes, including the signature grilled lemongrass lamb chops with papaya salsa, are seasoned with bold but well-judged spicing. Also try the crab cakes with Sriracha chili aioli and mango chutney.

Nitan

Southern Thai, Contemporary

฿฿฿

Nitan, or ’determination’ in Thai, may refer to the chef’s aim of creating a real gastronomic experience. This is most evident in the tasting menu and wine pairing, where quality seasonal and local ingredients inform the cooking. Contemporary techniques are used to prepare classic Southern Thai dishes, with well-balanced flavours and a dash of creativity. The restaurant has a warm vibe and is minimally decorated, with wooden furniture and a window into the kitchen.
