The 27 villas of this beachside eco-resort are all individually hand-built from local materials and paying homage to traditional Thai home-style architecture. Carefully set beachside and facing west to ensure the sunset views or within the woodland that lines the beach, each villa at BABA Ecolodge is positioned to ensure peace, quiet and privacy for all guests. Villa designs are unique to each one, and cleverly designed to ensure lots of natural light and natural cooling from the gentle sea breezes. With gardens and terraces there are lots of spaces to enjoy the surrounding nature and views from each villa. BABA Ecolodge has 1, 2 and 3-bedroom villas, so there is a villa to suit every occasion, from romantic couples to family get togethers. The resort takes its eco claim seriously and employs many sustainability practices within the management of the resort from produce either grown in its own gardens or sourced carefully from local organic growers and farmers, to zero tolerance to single use plastics and avoiding use of all kitchen and cleaning products that could harm the local environment. The beach that fronts BABA Ecolodge is 12kms of soft fine sand with a gentle sea lapping at the shore. To the rear of the resort, as BABA Ecolodge sits on a peninsula of land that curves off the main island, is a wide circular bay where the resort’s boat comes in to drop off or pick-up guests. The Clubhouse at BABA Ecolodge is where the restaurant and bar is located, offering wonderful dining options from Thai and International cuisines. The resort also has a Yoga Sala, Tour Desk, Boat, Boutique featuring a lot of unique pieces from Thai artisans and designers, Thai Massage, and WiFi provided in the Clubhouse bar and restaurant. BABA Ecolodge is THE perfect place to enjoy truly SLOW life with a back to nature and off grid vibe. Very much off the beaten path yet only 2.5hrs from Phuket Airport, or a little over an hour to Ranong Airport. Peaceful, beautiful, and with a wonderfully warm service style, this is a place that will live on in your moments of reverie long after you’ve left the island.

Your Hosts and The Team
Six years ago I came to Thailand and the island of Koh Phra Thong on what was planned to be just a small break from my home Europe, and i have been here ever since. Today I call the BABA Ecolodge on Koh Phra Thong my true home. I fell instantly in love with the unique nature and the tranquility of this atoll island on the edge of the Surin National Marine Park. And perhaps more importantly, the people and the lifestyle on Koh Phra Thong touched my heart. ”
