In fact, basically everywhere you look at Cape Panwa Hotel you’ll be treated to captivating scenery — think palm-filled groves, bloom-filled gardens, azure seas, and pristine beachfront.

Sea-facing suites and villas

Welcome to culinary heaven
A world of culinary delights, Cape Panwa Hotel is home to six restaurants and cafés plus four fabulous bars, giving you the option of air-conditioned or open-air settings. Whether you’re in the mood for a relaxed post-beach snack, pre-dinner cocktail or sophisticated dining, they’ve got you covered. There is a must-see for couples though; the acclaimed Panwa House. Famous as a movie set, this elegant Sino-Portuguese mansion-turned-restaurant pairs sensational Thai fare with enchanting beach views. For a magical evening, feast on Kang Nam Pla Wan (rock lobster with sweet and sour chilli sauce) and Khao Neow Mamuang (fresh mango with sticky rice and creamy coconut milk) before strolling hand-in-hand along the powder-soft sands.
Lovestruck sweethearts will also cherish a candlelit dinner on the hotel’s private beach, created just for you by the hotel’s skilled chefs. While those hopelessly enamoured with their suite or villa will love the in-room dining option. Choices, choices…
