Only an hour from Krabi's Airport, discover a natural refuge that feels like a land far, far away. A place with more pine trees than people, where silver beaches slope into the cerulean Andaman Sea, and tiny islands of primeval beauty dot the horizon.

The private beach hidden within the interior of an islet. The flash of bright orange fins disappearing behind the coral. The fragrance of a specially selected oil as you listen to the sound of the waves. Dinner on a sandbank with a personal chef and a bottle perfectly chilled. A soak for two on a sheltered balcony, away from the crowds and the twinkling lights.

Nestled in Trang province just south of Krabi, Anantara Si Kao Resort and Spa offers a romantic experience of Thailand's well-kept secret.

The private balcony reveals the sight of the Andaman Sea and the shadowy hulk of Koh Mook lying across turquoise waters. Close to the pool area, the expansive Deluxe Sea View rooms feature contemporary furnishings, muted tones and hints of vibrant colour provided by delicate Thai fabrics.

Lounge in the open bathtub in a chic bathroom that opens onto the bedroom via retractable glass doors.

Each of the Anantara Suites offer graceful style and charm. Oversized tubs for two open playfully onto the spacious bedrooms, designed with beautiful Thai motifs. Set the mood for a romantic evening with sound and image from the DVD and CD players. Enjoy views of the Andaman Sea and the beautiful islet of Koh Mook from large private balconies. A separate shower, private dressing room and indoor dining area create the perfect sense of space for a romantic tropical hideaway.

Each Anantara Suite comes with a range of modern.

Amenities including: two LCD televisions, Apple TV, iPod docking station, high-speed internet, mini-bar and espresso machine.

Unparalleled in luxury and intimacy, Anantara Pool Suites invite you to indulge in your own large private plunge pool at balcony's edge, embraced by the lushness of Bill Bensley designed gardens. Sip a cocktail and order room service to savor our exotic cuisine in the privacy of your secluded outdoor dining area. Indulge in an in-room massage before reclining in contemporary comfort with enchanting Thai touches.

At the heart of each Anantara Pool Suite, you will find an elegant king-sized bed and lounge area with teak wood furniture. Sumptuous and delicate southern Thai fabrics add to the atmosphere of refinement.

Amenities include: satellite LCD-television, Apple TV, high speed internet, upgraded bath amenities and espresso machine.

Once a week, get close to local culinary culture with Leelawadees Thai village experience, as we set up an outdoor eatery in the lush garden. Lie back on bean bags and lounge on plush cushions on the grass amongst softly-lit lamps. Choose from a selection of local specialties. Each food stand invites you to sample a different signature dish, prepared on the spot by our own chefs as well as specially invited guest chefs from local food stalls throughout Trang. We pre-select the best cooks of local delicacies and bring them to your doorstep, to savor the tastes of Trang in distinctive Anantara style.
