One-of-a-kind getaway The only private island beach resort in Thailand, two and a half hours from Bangkok, Koh Munnork Private Island is accessible only by a 45-minute private boat ride. The idyllic resort is the only one on the island and is surrounded by untouched forest and pristine white sand beaches. Set a little way back from the beach, bungalows are scattered across the island and spacious Garden View Bungalows slightly larger than the beachfront accommodations, are perfect for families with young children or couples who prize more space to share. These bungalows offer two queen beds and are fronted by a private veranda with a daybed overlooking the lush garden with the ocean just a stone's throw away. Sea View Bungalows feature the same design as Garden View Bungalows, set back from the beach, and are distinguished by their spectacular sea views. Simply furnished with a queen size bed, a small sofa and lounge area, each Beachfront Bungalow commands stunning beach vistas and uninterrupted views over the Gulf of the Siam. Designed for two, Beachfront Bungalows are the perfect retreat for couples. They have a bathroom boasting his and her basins, toilet and indoor and outdoor showers with direct beach access. While immersing yourself in the local culture and cuisine on Koh Munnork Private Island, enjoy authentic Thai home-cooked dishes. Seemingly salvaged from a shipwreck or reclaimed from the tide, the restaurant's furnishings ref lect the resort's castaway island feel. Enjoy the gourmet cuisine and cocktails served in chunky, grabbable jars beneath light fittings crafted from sun- bleached rope. Quench your thirst at the Beach Bar with Thai herbal drinks and juices, classic cocktails and locally inspired signature cocktails. Experience the magic of sunset with the daily special sundowner program and then linger into the twilight hours as the bar becomes the island's main attraction and guests mingle to the sound of smooth house grooves and the waves breaking below. Choose something from the bar, restaurant or snack menu and have it served at your sun lounger, leaving you free to enjoy a dip in the semi- saltwater pool.
