Commandeering a placid slice of Na Jomtien Beach around 30 minutes’ drive from Pattaya, Ana Anan (anaanan.com) sets a new bar for Pattaya stays.

Its 263 rooms range from 45 to 250 sq meters, integrating light woods, granite and soothing gray tones throughout. Check into the 77-sq-meter Ocean Suite Skypool (from B11,300/night) on the top floor to take advantage of a private pool and a balcony offering unobstructed sea views.

Catch the sunset from a floating, cushion-topped deck in the alfresco rooftop pool. Other facilities include an elevated glass pool, a restaurant and bar.
