— Khao Lak, Thailand —
JW Marriott Khao Lak Resort & Spa
An Insider's Take
'Where pristine beaches meet untouched rainforest, this luxurious sanctuary offers a rare glimpse into Thailand's natural paradise.'
What's Special?
This resort sits on one of Thailand's most unspoiled coastlines, where the Andaman Sea meets ancient mangrove forests. The property features traditional Thai architecture with soaring peaked roofs and is built around a stunning lagoon-style pool that winds through tropical gardens. Khao Lak remains refreshingly uncommercialized compared to nearby Phuket, offering authentic local culture and some of the region's best diving spots.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Book excursions to the nearby Similan Islands during your stay - they're only accessible October through April and offer world-class snorkeling with crystal-clear waters just 90 minutes away.
Don't Miss
The resort's signature spa treatments using indigenous Thai herbs, sunset cocktails at the beachfront bar overlooking Bang Niang Beach, and early morning elephant encounters at the nearby ethical Khao Lak Elephant Sanctuary. The Thursday night local market in Khao Lak town offers incredible street food just 10 minutes away.
