Elephant Safari & Beach Retreat

The unique and distinctive Elephant Hills is located in the Khao Sok National Park, a two hour drive from either Phuket or Krabi airport. An easy combination with any of our suggested beach resorts in Krabi, Phuket or Khao Lak.

Khao Sok is the largest area of tropical rainforest in southern Thailand, with dramatic limestone peaks, large lakes and surrounded by dense jungle. It is still largely undiscovered, although there is an amazing variety of plants and animals, including the world’s largest flower ‘Rafflesia’. You may be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of wild elephant, bear, monkeys, gibbons, deer, as well as several hundred species of bird including the hornbill.

There are just 30 tents, each consisting of twin beds, electricity and private shower and toilet. The tents provide ample space and are well protected against mosquitoes and other possible intruders! There is a semi open air main restaurant where you will take the majority of your meals whilst you are in resort and the Jungle Bar to relax after a hard day’s sightseeing.

The Sarojin is one of our very best and most popular hotels, perfect for those seeking a tranquil or romantic getaway with an extremely high level of personalised attention. It is sheltered by the Pakarang Cape, set in a stunning location on a secluded corner of a seven mile soft white sand beach with generally calm sea conditions.

It is close to the main village of Khao Lak and just 55 minutes from Phuket Airport. It is designed in a contemporary Asian style, with elegant lines blending harmoniously with the natural surroundings, including a magnificent two-level lotus pond complete with frogs, tropical gardens and streams, and at the spiritual heart - a giant Ficus tree.

The 56 spacious guest residences are all impressively designed, spacious and elegant and spread across seven separate two storey buildings. The Garden Residences are on the ground floor, with a private garden terrace and Thai sala. The Pool Residences are larger with private plunge pool and located at the corner of each building. The one bedroom truly luxurious Sarojin Suites are on the upper floor, with 150 square metres with spacious separate living area, an outdoor stone relaxation pool on the terrace area with garden and partial sea views.

Spending your time at The Sarojin is very much focused on ‘the experience’, and with quirky yet attentive staff, you will never be at odds over what to do. Speak to your personal ‘imagineer’ – a member of staff who can tailor make some of the most amazing experiences whilst in residence – such as Thai cooking classes on the glorious beach or at the nearby waterfall or a private charter on the ‘Lady Sarojin’ 38ft boat.

The Sarojin borders five spectacular inland national parks and the world famous dive sanctuaries of the Similan and Surin Islands are easily accessible within one hour by boat. Dining is also an experience in itself with two spectacular restaurants, a bar with its award winning wine cellar and a variety of private dining locations ‘just for 2’.
