One-bedroom sea view apartment at Cassia, near Bang Tao Beach

On the third floor of the Cassia development in the Laguna area of Bang Tao, this 52 sq m one-bedroom apartment has a renovated kitchen and a separate living area, so the bedroom stays a bedroom rather than doubling as the lounge.

The outlook takes in the sea as well as the resort's pools, which residents can use along with the gardens. A microwave and TV are provided, and Bang Tao Beach is about 1.4 km away through the resort.

Cassia is available for long-term and holiday rental, with rates on request. It suits couples or solo long-stayers who want hotel-adjacent services and facilities while keeping the independence of their own flat.
