Room rates from 2,150 Baht

Warapura Resort on Lonely Beach is probably the nicest mid-size, mid-price resort on the island.  The rooms are well designed, nothing ostentatious or over the top.  Just a simple, but stylish design with whitewashed exteriors and interiors.

It’s designed for older backpackers who still like to go out at night and mingle with the masses to eat cheap food and drink even cheaper cocktails in the myriad of small bars in the area.  But at the same time, want somewhere quiet to sleep that has airconditioning, the BBC news and a wi-fi connection in their room.  Plus a pool to laze by during the day .

Although it is by the sea, the shoreline is stony, you can’t really swim in the sea here.  But the sandy area of ‘Lonely Beach’ is only a 5-10 minutes walk north along the shore.

Warapura is a very good choice if you like some nightlife but also want to chill out in an informal environment  with  some comfort and aren’t on a tight budget.

(Another very old satellite image is being used by Google in the ‘Location’.  Warapura opened in 2006 and over the past couple of years more bungalows and a pool were built, none of which are shown in the satellite photos, only the old bungalows from a previous resort on the site.)
