Once in every while, you find a house that breaks the mould, sparks emotion and ignites a fire within the core of your soul. The Tamarind House at Satahip is not just a home – but more of a complete concept where every room has an individual theme that fits together like a jigsaw puzzle. Some would call it a house, some would say a resort, but we believe that Tamarind is the ultimate tranquil retreat that endeavors to offer you a slice of real Asia whilst providing you with creature comforts and amenities that will make your holiday a memorable yet exotic experience.
Tamarind successfully merges a wondrous countryside environment perched at the foothills of Kao Krating upon a scenic private estate, with a truly inspirational Balinese design that is steeped in the 'wow' factor. With ten individually themed and named bedrooms/suites, tennis courts, comfortable salas, a centerpiece swimming pool, cinema room, a team of staff to cater for your every whim and a separate communal clubhouse, all surrounded by luscious vegetation and untold beauty, the Tamarind House is reserved for visitors who have an eye for style and the finer things in life.
