The hype
A peaceful tropical sanctuary that feels miles away from the chaos of Patong, even though it's just a short drive.
Mandarava Resort And Spa Karon Beach
$150-250/ gece
Şu durumda rezervasyon yapın You want a jungle fortress with five infinity pools and don't mind trading immediate beach access for tropical seclusion.
İnsanlar Neden Seviyorlar
- Five distinct infinity pools scattered across the hillside
- Stunning 'jungle' aesthetic with natural waterfalls and lush greenery
- Rooms are massive (55sqm+) with high ceilings and private balconies
Hızlı Özet: It's a steep hike to breakfast and a 15-minute walk to the ocean, so if you have bad knees or hate waiting for a buggy, look elsewhere.
@Thewhites tarafından değerlendirildi: I felt totally disconnected from the world here. My room had direct pool access, so I could swim right from my balcony. The jungle vibes are incredible, and the staff treated us like royalty. Definitely request the Cheewa zone for the best views!

SSS & Gizli İpuçları
Rezervasyon yapmadan önce bilmeniz gereken her şey.
Is it really far from the beach?
It's about 700 meters. A walkable 10-15 minutes downhill, but the walk back up is steep and sweaty.
Is the pool crowded?
Rarely. With five different pools (Mango, Papaya, Pomelo, Coconut, Banana), guests spread out comfortably.
Can I walk to dinner?
Yes, it's a 10-minute walk downhill to Karon's main strip of restaurants, but the walk back is a hike.
Is breakfast included?
Usually yes, and it's highly rated with a mix of Western and Thai options.
Are there elevators?
No. The resort is a series of villas on a hill. You walk or take a buggy.
Is it kid-friendly?
Yes, there is a kids' pool and game room, but the steep terrain makes strollers a nightmare.
İçeri Sakıları
- ✨
The 'Mango Pool' is the most social with a swim-up bar; 'Pomelo' is usually the quietest.
- ✨
Don't pay hotel prices for laundry; there are local spots at the bottom of the hill that charge per kilo.
- ✨
Happy Hour at the pool bars offers 2-for-1 cocktails—check the schedule as it rotates between pools.
Gitmeden önce bilmeniz gereken 5 şey
💡The monkeys are cute but will absolutely steal food from your balcony if you leave the door open.
💡The 'free beach shuttle' schedule can be sporadic; don't rely on it for a tight dinner reservation.
💡Ground floor rooms can feel a bit 'damp' due to the intense jungle humidity—keep the AC on dry mode.
💡The walk to the nearest convenience store (7-Eleven) is a dark 10-minute trek at night.
💡You might hear the 'call to prayer' from a nearby mosque in the early morning, though it's faint.
