This is a cool place to stop on a round-the-island sailing trip. The restaurant at the top of the cliff can lower your order down to the beach in a basket, or you can climb the many steps for an amazing view.
Baling Hai is a place of peace and tranquility, so for the sake of others, DON'T bring the kids!

Away from the consumerism of white beach, but close enough to enjoy the walk there (or scooter) when you need a social life...Balinghai is an oasis of relaxation with amiable and helpful but non-intrusive staff. Its the ecological architecture, great private views, limited number of cottages, private beach, the yummy food and extra care in presentation that make this a truely special place for families or couples.
