Situated directly on the turquoise waters of the Andean Sea in southern Thailand, Casa de La Flora boasts an iconic brutalist design that is now abloom with green roofs and refreshed interiors. Having fully reopened on March 1, following a nearly year-long overhaul, the resort welcomes guests into refurbished accommodations, a radically transformed duplex villa, and reorganized public spaces, including a fitness center, lobby, and beachside restaurant—all overseen by the ultramodern studio Vaslab Architecture.
