Self-described as an "eco-rustic" escape, Korawan Garden View (www.korawangardenview.com) focuses on healthy and sustainable living.

The peaceful getaway grows all its own organic vegetables (cooking lessons also available), and uses all eco-friendly materials; for example, their floors are made of homemade clay and roofs are thatched with bamboo.

Private bungalows are available in the form of bamboo and clay houses, which begin at B1,250.

Although the resort isn't nestled right by the beach, it is only a 1km drive away.
