Horizon Eco Resort

As a solo traveler good communication is very important to my comfort and owner/operator Lory Follador provides that! Located on an island near Kuraburi with no scheduled boat service I was trusting that our arrangements would go smoothly....and they did. This was my second trip to Horizon Eco Bungalows. Both times my ride from Phuket was waiting for me at the arranged time with a sign clearly identifying himself to me with clean, reliable, comfortable transportation. Each time the long tail boat was waiting for me at Kuraburi pier to take me to the island. I love the location, steps from the warm bay, sandy beaches and beautiful sun rises and sunsets. The restaurant is right on the beach and seems to encourage friendly, casual conversation among the international guests. The food is really outstanding! Delicious! My bungalow was all I needed. Electricity from 7:00 PM to 7:00 AM. Electricity available at the restaurant throughout the day if necessary. Lory is a natural host, familiar with Koh Phra Thong for many years and happy to recommend how and when we might enjoy the beauty and variety of the island. Snorkeling, beach walks, kayak the mangrove, explore the savannah, catch the sunrises and sunsets accompanied by the cicada chorus. Lory is fluent in 5 languages that I heard so is absolutely able to help with any needs! I highly recommend Horizon Eco as a place to reconnect with the rhythm of the earth, to be a part of nature and be fed sumptuously. A winning combination!! And Lory will help it all go smoothly! Thanks Lory!

What can I say, it was the perfect stay, on such a lovely island. We loved the location, the attention to detail and the excellent service we received from Lori and her team. The food was delicious and made to our requests. Our room was comfortable and had everything we needed, we had a lovely balcony with comfortable seating, such a great place to relax. I would recommend this resort , as the perfect stay, for families, couples and solo travelers. Thank you so much.

Such an amazing place. Much has been said about how wonderful the experience at Horizon Eco Lodge is and it is all true! Beautiful and calm beaches, nice bungalows and a familiar and friendly a**osphere at Horizon. The food is simply superbe. We highly recommend it!

We dropped in to eat multiple times at the restaurant here, for both lunch and dinner. Food is top-notch, really fresh and delicious, using local fish and veg as well as produce brought in regularly by boat. All with the most gorgeous Thai flavors. Cocktails are made to high standards, and the ice-cold fresh coconut drink is just what you need on a hot day. A warm welcome from Lori and her delightful staff—highly recommended.

We had such a wonderful 2 weeks with Lory and her lovely team at Horizon. The accommodation was exactly as we hoped it would be - traditional Thai bungalows with a small balcony area at the front. Mozzie net over the bed, a fan (electricity from approx 7pm to 7am) and bathroom with a cold shower (who needs a hot one in Thailand!). Spotlessly clean and magically re-cleaned every 4 days or so with fresh bed linen and towels. Lory is what makes this place special and you can see that she and her husband have built a lovely team around them. Et and the lads bringing our food in the restaurant, determined to teach us the Thai words for everything! And Lory moving around the restaurant, swopping effortlessly between the 5 languages she speaks as she checks in with everyone. Lory arranged several things for us during our stay - we were able to hitch a ride to check out the turtle nests one morning when the lady from Naucrates came to visit the island. We also did a tour of a few hours to explore the ‘savannah’ area in the back of Lory’s husband’s pickup. We borrowed a kayak and went out to the little islands in the bay. The kitchen very kindly made us a ‘picnic’ of veggie rice and fruit one day when we were going to kayak to the top of the island. Lory also arranged our onward travel - the longtail back to the mainland, a taxi to the bus station, as well as the bus tickets on to our next destination. On an island where there’s no A**, no high street, no shops, nothing, you really do depend on the people you are staying with. Thank you Lory for making our stay with you so very special. For a long time to come, we are going to be imagining we’re back on the beach as the sun goes down in front of Horizon.

Great food, very lovely staff and an attentive owner. We dined here twice whilst staying in a neighbouring hotel. Food was excellent, busy buzzy a**osphere and delicious Mojitos, they deserve to be full which they were on both occasions! Would definitely come back and recommend

A wonderful hospitable place. I was staying for a week. This resort is perfect for those who would like harmony, privacy in nature and are ready for simplicity. Perfect for a meditative retreat or yoga in nature. Wide empty beaches of many kilometers. There are two small islands with beautiful corals near the beach. In good weather, you can go snorkeling. Very tasty food! The resort can organize a trip to the Surin Islands or safari (eco) in the interior of the island. Keep in mind, since this is a real immersion in nature, there are its own peculiarities: there are no shops, A**s or some kind of civilization nearby, wi-fi works in the common area (not in the bungalow), electricity in the bungalow after 18 hours. But the resort can help with important needs. Take mosquito and sand fly repellents with you (you can buy them on the spot). I especially want to mention the friendly staff, and of course Lory is the main person in this beauty!

I had a wonderful stay at Horizon Resort, it is one of the most beautiful and tranquil islands I have visited in Thailand. The food at the resort is delicious, with a great selection of vegetarian options, and even vegan if requested. Lory and her team offer first class service and go out of their way to make your stay comfortable and personalized. I will be back.

We stayed at the Horizon Eco Resort for two weeks with our 5-year-old twins and we had an absolutely marvellous time together. Definitely a place to recommend for people looking for a vacation away from the fast-paced life, where one can relax and enjoy the beautiful beach, sun, and swimming in the sea or kayaking. The accommodation is simple, but the bungalows are cosy and clean. The a**osphere in the resort is very friendly, almost family-like. Lory is a fantastic host, and she would make sure that all guests would have a pleasant stay. Last but not least, the food was absolutely delicious!
