STAYED: OCEAN ROCK KALIM
The pool deck at Ocean Rock Kalim offers
a tantalising vista as the Andaman meets
the sky on the far horizon. The skyline of
bustling Patong is visible just down the
coast, but since you’re perched high on
the jungled mountainside, you can only
hear the sounds of the forest.
Barely a couple of years old, Ocean
Rock Kalim is a small resort comprised of
just seven serviced apartments and one
villa. The location is ideal, accommodation
spacious and atmosphere peaceful.
Though Patong is nearby, with its
buzzing nightlife and an eclectic bunch of
international visitors, Ocean Rock Kalim
and a few other resorts nearby give you a
chance to escape, avoid sensory overload
and recharge.
A serviced apartment instead of a fullfledged
resort has its benefits. Of course,
you won’t find people at your beck-and-call,
but the service is more personal. Your room
is still cleaned every day, and someone
is at hand to offer advice and help plan
excursions. Each apartment is equipped
with a smartphone, so guests can directly
communicate with the general manager or
order food and transport. Staying at Ocean
Rock Kalim is more like staying at a friend’s
place instead of being a stranger in a hotel.
The rooms are ultra-modern with
subtle, classic touches. At 173 square
metres, even the smallest unit offers
plenty of room to laze about. The
furniture is eye-catching and comfy,
the fittings of top quality, with ample
storage space and very tasteful décor and
colour combinations – everything you can
possibly need to feel right at home. In fact,
many bookings are for longer stays.
On the roof you will find the infinity
pool and lounge area with a stocked cooler
that works on a help-yourself honour
system, not to mention the barbecue –
good excuses to organise your very own
pool party.
If you’re travelling in a group, you
may want to consider the Cube – a
huge, 800sqm villa boasting three
bedrooms with en suite bathrooms,
a 90sqm saltwater pool and a dining
table that can seat 10.
It is advisable to book yourself a
getaway at Ocean Rock Kalim soon,
because it is quickly establishing itself
as a luxurious but affordable hideaway
that is impossible not to fall in love with.
