Rabbit Resort
Rabbit Resort is one of the most distinctive places to stay on the Pattaya–Jomtien coast: a low-rise, family-run Thai village set in mature tropical gardens directly behind Dongtan Beach, the quiet, tree-shaded stretch of sand between Pattaya and Jomtien proper. Instead of a concrete tower, the resort spreads just 49 individually designed rooms, cottages and villas across four acres of oceanfront land, built with reclaimed teak, handmade fabrics and Thai antiques so that no two rooms are quite alike. It has been run by the same family for decades and feels more like a private garden estate than a hotel — big old trees, birdsong, two outdoor pools and a beachfront restaurant, with a genuinely secluded, grown-up atmosphere that regulars come back for year after year. Room categories run from Gold Forest and Gold Antique rooms up to standalone Gold Cottages and Villas, some with their own garden space, and the beach is a few steps through the trees rather than across a busy road. Nightly rates typically sit in the 3,000–6,000 baht bracket depending on season, room type and how far ahead you book — mid-to-upper range for Jomtien, and you are paying for the setting, the space and the character rather than glossy modern fittings. It suits couples, families and anyone who wants a calm, green, beachfront base within a short ride of both Jomtien's restaurants and Walking Street.
