Anantara Si Kao Resort

Located approximately 100 meters from Chang Lang beach, Anantara Si Kao Resort sits tranquilly within the site. The master plan and the vernacular design of the buildings blend the architecture with the existing national forest. The buildings are characterized by tropical design with a touch of Thai elements. The lobby is located between two guestroom wings, overlooking to the ocean through the forest. All of 150 guestrooms face the ocean and some of them also enjoy the view of a large free-form shape outdoor swimming pool.

The main concept is to create a contemporary modern solution to vernacular Thai architecture. Guests are greeted on arrival at the lobby with the iconic form inspired by the royal barge roof, welcoming to the rejuvenation of a tranquil oasis. The lobby’s architecture is open and honest, illustrating the integrity of wood and steel structure without redundant layers. Guestrooms are cozy, yet hip and striking with minimalist interior dominated by stone and timber with subtle decorative elements. 

The planning utilizes the site advantage of unrestricted sea view by connecting the lobby through a reflecting pond and a large swimming pool to the ocean. The building cluster is laid out to preserve the existing grown-up trees which complements the overall resort atmosphere.
