THE HOTEL
Thala Beach Lodge is a privately owned five star luxury beach resort and one of the world's most beautiful private beach locations. At one with nature, its main building is designed to embrace all the elements of the tropics. Built from local timbers, it is open and spacious, allowing the cool sea breezes to flow. The polished timber reflects the warm sun of the tropics by day and the soft flicker of lamp light by night.

Accommodation consists of timber bungalows scattered amongst a hundred and forty five acres of wooded headland and secluded beaches.  Sitting on high poles all have views either to the ocean or the forested mountains from lovely timber decked verandas.  Inside, they are a mix of simple and modern - with neutral décor providing a backdrop for timber features and bamboo furniture.
It is little wonder that this private sanctuary has been awarded some of the highest eco tourism accreditations.
