Friendly and relaxed Thai-inspired resort, with 10 simple yet stylish cabanas, on a magnificent white powder beach

For most of us, paradise would be something like this. Kilometres of soft, powdery-white beach contrasting with cobalt seas; a relaxed Zen atmosphere without cares and fuss; and Buddhist-inspired decor, including bright orange fluttering flags everywhere. We simply loved Roberto's tranquil charming place.

Ten cool cabanas, each distinct from the others, sit in a horsehoe facing the ocean, between coconut palms. The position is perfect for swimming, strolling and kayaking, and there are ample opportunities for chilling out on day beds under white parasols, in hammocks and on cloud nine. The spa on site offers a range of massages, and yoga classes are held daily. Although it's hard to motivate yourself to move much, Roberto arranges amazing tours to Mayan ruins, jungles teeming with life and cenotes (collapsed caves). Nights are wonderful - starcloth heavens, candles everywhere and the sound of waves lulling you to blissful slumber.
