Our story · Bantai Beach, Maenam
The table Noi built on Bantai Beach
Not a chain, not a resort — a stretch of sand at the quiet end of Maenam that Noi made her table.Cape Away isn’t a chain and it isn’t a resort. It’s a stretch of sand at the quiet end of Maenam that Noi, the owner, turned into her table — a place where you come to eat, swim, and stay for the sunset.
Noi's table
One host, one stretch of sand
Years ago this was just a quiet beach at the west end of Maenam, the kind most visitors never find. Noi saw a dream beach where other people saw an empty stretch of sand, and she set out to make it hers: a few sunbeds at the water, a kitchen sending out fresh plates, a bar for the sunset.
That's still how Cape Away works. It's her table, and you're a guest at it. Someone brings you a cold towel and a coconut, the food comes to your sunbed, and nobody rushes you off it. Come for a long lunch, swim between plates, and stay right through the sunset.

What we're about
Simple, barefoot, and by the water
We keep it simple on purpose. No dress code, no queue, no organising your own day. You take a sunbed, you swim when you feel like it, and good food finds you where you're lying.
The beach out front is open and sandy, with no rocks in the way, so you can actually get in the water and get a paddleboard out. That's the heart of it: eat well, swim easy, and slow down for the sunset. Everything else is just detail.
Come and visitIn her words
“I wanted a place where people feel like guests, not customers. You come, you eat, you swim, you watch the sun go down, and you leave a little slower than you arrived.”

Come see for yourself
The best way to know us is to come
A story only goes so far. Spend a day on the beach, stay for dinner as the sun drops, and read what other guests say after a day with us. That’s Cape Away, and you’re always welcome to just walk in.
