The Sarojin is a hotel that almost wasn’t. This stunning beachfront boutique, on the mainland just north of the island of Phuket, faces right onto the Andaman sea — and was just about completed before the tsunami of 2004 undid an entire year’s work. The owners, however, weren’t lacking for vision or determination, which is lucky for us: the Sarojin turns out to have been well worth the wait.

It’s a spectacular setting, on a wild stretch of forested beach, with a lagoon on one side, the sea on the other, and a massive ancient ficus tree as the centerpiece of the property. And while the hotel itself is luxurious and well-designed, it doesn’t feel decadent or gluttonous — the materials, mostly local, blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings, and even luxuries like the oversized egg-shaped tubs are more about tangible comfort than ostentatious visual impact. King beds, DVD players and CD stereo systems are standard, as are open-air lounge pavilions, and the pricier residences add plunge pools. Those willing to splash some cash can stretch out in the spacious living rooms of the Sarojin Suites, and have a soak in the pool baths out on the terraces.

The Ficus restaurant sits below the canopy of the old ficus tree, and the Edge serves fresh seafood by the beach. There’s a full-service spa, naturally, surrounded by mangroves — treatments are administered in open-air pavilions with a view of the sea. And outdoor excursions are limited only by guests’ willingness — the Sarojin offers yacht excursions, diving trips, canoe safaris and even elephant tours.

How to get there: The Sarojin is one hour’s drive north of the Phuket Airport. The hotel can arrange for private car transfer from the airport to the hotel.
