Your Days Here
Everything is offered. Nothing is obligatory. The pool doesn't care if you show up.
Seven ways to spend your time.
Thai Cooking Class
Spend a morning in the Siam kitchen. Our chef starts with the garden — you'll pick your own herbs. Then the wok: curry pastes from scratch, stir-fry technique, the balance of hot, sour, salty, sweet. You cook three dishes. Then you sit down and eat what you've made.

Enquire →Morning Yoga
On the terrace, overlooking the orchard. All levels welcome. Stretch, breathe, settle into the day before breakfast. Mats provided. The only soundtrack is birdsong and the occasional complaint from a goat.

Thai-inspired massage in a calm, private setting. Relaxation or therapeutic — your call. Book in advance so we can match you with the right time and the right hands.

Enquire →Breathing Workshops
Guided breathwork for stress release and clarity. In the garden or indoors, depending on the day. No experience needed — just a willingness to sit still for forty-five minutes.
~45 min · Schedule on enquiry · Pricing on enquiry
Enquire →Farm Tour
Walk the property with us. Meet the goats — they have opinions. See where your breakfast eggs come from. The herb garden, the orchard, the olive trees. Children especially welcome. Adults who haven't fed a goat in thirty years also welcome.
~30 min · Daily, informal · Complimentary for guests
Pool & Garden
The pool sits between fig and olive trees. Sun loungers and shade in equal measure. Towels provided. Beyond the pool, the garden: hammocks, quiet corners, paths through the orchard. The kind of afternoon where you don't check the time.
