Before you arrive
What you will want to know about staying at Tree Roots Retreat, Rayong.
Stay and rooms
What does a garden room include?
Each room has a king bed, air conditioning, hot water, and a private outdoor area facing the garden. The pool is outside your room. There is a mezzanine level that sleeps one extra adult; maximum occupancy is three adults per room.
Can I bring children?
Tree Roots Retreat is an adults-only property, kept child-free by design. The retreat is built around quiet, rest, and focused practice, and we keep it that way for everyone who stays. Guests must be adults to book.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes, well-behaved dogs are welcome: one dog per room, maximum 15kg, current rabies vaccination required. The charge is 500 THB per dog per night, plus a refundable 2,500 THB damage deposit pre-authorised at check-in. Dogs stay off the pool furniture and out of the sauna, kitchen, and library. Let us know when you book so we can assign a ground-floor room.
Is the property secure?
The retreat sits on three rai of enclosed garden. CCTV covers the grounds and entrances, and an on-site manager lives at the property, reachable around the clock. The retreat is small enough not to need a security guard: we are here when you need us, and not when you don't.
Booking and payment
What are your rates?
Garden rooms start from 3,500 THB per night (April through September and February through March) and 4,200 THB per night during peak season (October through January). All rates include 7% VAT. Two-night minimum, or three nights in December and January. Book direct for the best inclusions.
Is it better to book direct?
Yes. When you book through our website you get the same room at the same rate, plus complimentary daily sauna access, surfboard hire, and bike hire for your stay. These extras are not included on third-party platforms, and you get direct contact with us from the moment you book.
Do you offer long-term stays?
Yes. The 30-night long stay is 60,000 THB for two guests, including breakfast, sauna, jiu-jitsu, and surfboard and bike hire. It suits remote workers and anyone who wants a proper month somewhere quiet on the Gulf of Thailand.
Do you cater to group bookings or retreats?
Yes. Nine rooms across three rai of garden make an ideal full buyout. We host team retreats, training camps, yoga groups, and private gatherings. Minimum stay is four nights for exclusive use, and we can arrange catering, transport, and activity programmes. Message us with your dates, group size, and what you have in mind.
What is your cancellation policy?
Free cancellation up to 72 hours before arrival. Cancellations within 72 hours are charged one night's rate; no-shows are charged in full. Separate terms apply to long stays and group buyouts, confirmed when you book.
How do I pay?
Bank transfer, cash (Thai Baht), QR PromptPay, and Visa or Mastercard on site. Direct website bookings are processed securely at the time of booking. For long-stay and group bookings we can arrange a deposit with the balance on arrival.
Wellness and daily life
Is there a sauna or somewhere to train?
There is a wood-fired sauna on site, complimentary for direct booking guests and 250 THB per hour per person otherwise. For training there is an open-air gym, daily jiu-jitsu, open garden space, beach running, and forest trails from the doorstep. We regularly host fitness groups and training camps.
Is there food on site?
We serve breakfast each morning. For other meals, guests are welcome to use the kitchen to prepare their own food. Several Thai restaurants are within walking distance along the beach, and the Rayong morning market is a short drive, open from 5am.
What is there to do nearby?
Forest trails start at the edge of the property, good for dawn walks and birding. There is a national park nearby for longer hikes. You can kayak to Koh Man Nok reef, take a longtail to Koh Samet (45 minutes from the pier), or ride a bike along the beach road. Or do nothing at all; the hammock and the pool are always there.
