THE VENUE
“At the Mangosteen Ayurveda & Wellness Resort we don’t just offer you a hotel room – we have created your own home away from home, hardly comparable with what is known as standard hotel accommodation.
With great attention to detail, we have created unique villas, which are functional, as well as beautiful. Using mostly natural materials, such as teak wood and terracotta, local tropical style and authentic feel have been preserved.
The Interior Design has been created by Australian artist John Underwood who is known for his wealth of experience in designing hotels and resorts, such as The J.W. Marriott in Phuket, various Four Season Resorts and the Anantara in Chiang Rai.”
