Ao Mahon · Andaman Coast, Thailand
A 24-room boutique hotel folded into a jungled hillside above a private Andaman bay — cliff pools, reef just offshore, and nothing on the schedule but the tide.
Sense of place
The Aster sits on a single jungled headland above its own bay — twenty-four rooms, one reef, and a rule against building any more.
We built low, in timber and stone, following the fall of the hillside rather than flattening it. Rooms step down toward the water in terraces of their own; the reef begins just past the last pool edge. Nothing here was designed to be photographed — it just tends to be.

A private timber terrace strung between hillside and horizon, deep enough for breakfast, a plunge tub and slow afternoons in the shade of a rain tree.
from $420
per nightAmenities
A 25-metre clifftop pool that runs to the treeline, with a shaded pavilion for long lunches and longer afternoons.
Andaman seafood and hillside produce, served under open timber rafters — a short, seasonal menu that changes with the boats.
Curated experiences
A short longtail ride to the reef just offshore, out before the day boats — turtles most mornings.
Guided trail through rainforest and limestone karst to a hidden freshwater waterfall.
A traditional longtail along the coastline as the karsts turn gold, with cold drinks aboard.
Morning market run with our chefs, then a hands-on class in the open kitchen.
A single table set on the sand at the bay’s far end, lit by lanterns, cooked to order.
A gentle hillside practice as the light comes up over the water, open to all levels.
Getting here
The Aster sits on a private headland roughly 45 minutes by road and longtail boat from the nearest regional airport. We arrange every transfer — just share your flight details when you book and a driver will be waiting.

Guest reviews
“We arrived planning to island-hop and never left the hillside. The pool suite, the reef right offshore, dinner on the sand — it undid every plan we had.”
PN
“Twenty-four rooms means it never once felt crowded. Staff remembered our names, our order, our anniversary — on day two.”
DO
“The sunset bar alone is worth the trip. We watched the light change over the karsts every single evening and never got tired of it.”
EM
“Our terrace suite had its own plunge tub facing the water. I worked from the terrace one morning and nearly forgot to come back inside.”
TC
“The jungle trek to the waterfall was the best two hours of the whole trip — and we’re not usually "hike before breakfast" people.”
AT
“Quiet, warm, unfussy luxury. The kind of place you start planning to return to before you’ve even checked out.”
