A new boutique facility called Akatsuki has opened on a secluded beach on the island of Koh Samui

Designed by Tokyo-based architect Riccardo Tossani, the private luxury resort is built entirely from recycled wood and uses natural ventilation and shade for guest comfort.

Catering for small groups or business events, the resort has a dining pavilion with large beach-side deck, a more relaxed living pavilion and a pavilion with conference technology. There are five Japan-inspired suites and a small private spa.
