The original shape of the land has been preserved as much as possible. Ancient coconut trees (over 60 years old) were kept to maintain the authenticity of the location. Many trees are incorporated within the design of the Hotel.

The expansive and uncluttered garden is representative of the simplicity of life one finds when one is open to it. It brings a feeling of peacefulness and serenity that luxuriant vegetation may not express so effectively. Placed throughout the Hotel garden and walkways are numerous bonsai trees, a parallel to the Thai service where each Guest is taken into personal consideration, with care.

On a calm clear night with no rain, you may enjoy counting little rabbits admiring the yellow full moon. The moon represents a coveted person. The rabbits are those who crave for this person's heart in vain. This is the kind of broken-heart phenomenon which may occur to anybody.

The overall image of the Hotel is a blending of the ancient Javanese house-village design with a traditional Thai southern slow-slung roof, a structure which impels the visitor to humbly bow one head on entry and exit, thus showing respect to the householder.

The two identical stone sculptures in front of the lobby are not mortars but are fashioned on traditional banana-leaf ceremonial pieces used for receptions. In Thai they are called Bai Sri and will welcome you right on your arrival.
