L'Alcove's Karine and Melanie on Secrets d'alcove From Brian Gruber's Just-Published Full Moon over Koh Phangan
Most of all, Melanie and Karine are microscopically attentive to every moment of their guests’ experience. It is not unusual to have an entire dinner on this Thai island with no staff contact besides ordering and summoning the bill. In a given night, you might have 3, 4, 5 visits from L’Alcove’s owners. With each element of your experience carefully choreographed, down to Melanie’s inventive, handcrafted music playlists. We met in their home just across from the restaurant to discuss the secrets d’alcove.
