The infrastructure of Gaia: workspace, wellness & daycare

Most developments sell you a home and leave the rest of life to the island. Gaia is built the other way round: a small, self-contained community on the hill above Chaloklum, with the workspace, wellness and family infrastructure built in.

When you live two minutes from the beach on the quiet side of Koh Phangan, the question is rarely "is it beautiful?" It is "can I actually live, work and raise a family here?" Gaia is designed so the answer is yes, without leaving the hill. Here is what is built in.

A real workspace

Koh Phangan has become one of Asia's quiet remote-work bases, and Gaia is built for it. There is a dedicated on-site coworking space, plus managed high-speed cable internet across the whole development, with free Wi-Fi at the pool and sauna areas. The cable infrastructure includes an on-site switching hub and load balancing, so the connection holds up when you are on a call with the other side of the world. You can take a morning swim, work a focused block in the coworking space, and be on the beach by sunset.

A full wellness hub

Rather than driving out for every class and treatment, Gaia brings the island's wellness culture on-site:

It is a few steps from your door, and a short drive from the wider Srithanu wellness scene when you want more. We cover that in our yoga and wellness guide.

Built for families

This is the piece most island developments miss. Gaia includes an on-site daycare for children, so families can actually base themselves here, not just holiday. Add gardens and landscaped paths, two pools, and 24/7 security and reception, and you have a setting that works for young children and gives parents real peace of mind, in one of the calmest corners of the island.

A community, not a row of houses

The on-site café and restaurant give the development a natural heart: somewhere to start the morning, meet neighbours, or eat without driving down the hill. Together with the gardens, parking and round-the-clock reception, it is what turns a cluster of residences into a small, self-sufficient community above Chaloklum Bay.

When it is ready

The shared amenities are being built in parallel with the final residences, with full completion of all on-site infrastructure expected by the end of 2027. For where the buildings stand today, see our latest construction update.

"The aim was simple: a place where you can work, train, raise a family and live well without ever needing to leave the hill."
