BABA Ecolodge is an eco-resort located on the unspoiled Ko Phra Thong Island in the south-west of Thailand on the edge of a national park.
Located at the Andaman Sea, the resort offers both a private 12-kilometre beach fringed by coconut trees and a virgin jungle, and a calm protected bay with shallow clear water. At the end of the bay, you find a system of small mangrove streams that takes the mind to an Amazon adventure. Additionally, just a few steps outside of the resort, you will find Thailand’s only savannah. This unparalleled hidden gem is only accessible by longtail boats from the mainland.
There is an abundance of wildlife and nature at BABA Ecolodge. Some of the most popular wildlife that shares the environment includes the crab-eating macaques, beautiful hornbills, tugae lizards, green turtles and white-bellied sea eagles.
The wooden bespoke and traditional villas have been created in harmony with the natural features of the resort, seamlessly blending into the surrounding environment. All the villas offer private gardens and elevated wooden decks for relaxation, either hidden under the lush tropical canopy or directly facing the calm Andaman Sea.
Some eco-friendly features of the resort include:
• Conscious avoidance of air conditioning. Instead, the houses are constructed in a traditional manner to make the most of the sea breeze. This is supplemented at night by ceiling fans.
• Conscious avoidance of televisions but sunsets provide the best early evening show you could wish for.
• Minimized change of linens and beach towels (every third day) unless you request otherwise.
• Hot water for showers (only for selected villas) derived solely from solar panels.
Soak yourself into ultimate unregulated freedom – a haven of natural serenity in which to reconnect with the rhythms of the Earth.

La profunda conexión de Amanda con la naturaleza la ha apoyado a través de los muchos desafíos de la vida, incluidas múltiples transiciones profesionales y enfermedades críticas. Se sintió llamada a estar al servicio de la tierra en el 2006, pero le tomó muchos años y un camino sinuoso antes de encontrar la Terapia de Bosque, una práctica que resonaba profundamente con su llamado. Habiéndose formado como parte del Cohorte 18, Amanda ha sido una Guía Certificada de Terapia de Bosque y Naturaleza por laANFT desde 2017, cuando fundó Shinrin-Yoku Hong Kong, a través de la cual ha ofrecido más de 200 terapias de bosque y experiencias de conexión con la naturaleza, en persona y en línea para apoyar a los urbanitas ocupados a vivir viajes llenos de vida de regreso a casa a través de la reconexión con la naturaleza. Amanda está particularmente llamada a apoyar a las personas en transición y a las que enfrentan estrés crónico, y colabora extensamente con el sector empresarial, organizaciones ambientales y de conservación, el sector de servicios sociales e instituciones educativas. Amanda se siente honrada de ser mentora de guías en formación y la primera formadora de ANFT con sede en Asia. También es coach profesional certificada por la Federación Internacional de Coaches para la Transformación y practicante de yoga, mindfulness y taichi desde hace mucho tiempo.
