THE SPIRIT OF RETREAT
LOCATION
This unique setting has long drawn quiet fascination. Long regarded for its natural richness, Koh Chang has remained largely untouched for generations—its diverse ecosystems and rare flora now protected within one of Thailand’s most ecologically significant marine parks. Surrounded by rainforest and sea, the island continues to inspire those seeking nature in its purest form.
Our property embraces the art and beauty of Thai culture, incorporating it into the sublime space with functional and timeless designs. As a canvas for the spirit of Kanso – the design principle of simplicity – and Shizen – the principle which involves intentionally creating a space that feels natural - we have created a place where families and friends can gather and feel at home.
Our idyllic sanctuary blends Thai traditions, timeless serenity, and sustainability. The themes are reflective of our values and woven directly into our design. At The Retreat, spaces are designed to be timeless. Local culture and sustainability meet to inspire our contemporary space, translated into refined havens of characterful tranquillity, filled with light, and organized for comfortable living. We focus on creating an environment that encourages mindfulness and relaxation, serving as your second home.
THE DESIGN
LIVING IN HARMONY
Our commitment to sustainability runs deep. Our space utilized eco-friendly materials and technologies to reduce our impact on the environment. Our use of reclaimed hundred-year-old Teak woods from the North of Thailand gives new life to these materials.
Our approach is centered on the idea of working in harmony with nature to make the most of its resources, while preserving and protecting the environment and local communities and cultures for future generations. We work closely with locals; accessories made by local craftsmen using thin vines, bamboo, and grass add a touch of natural beauty to every space.
