Mai Khaolak Beach Resort & Spa
Sarojin
A quiet retreat 15km north of Khao Lak with a Japanese-meets-modern-Thai style, the service here is stellar and the setting is elegant and intimate.
Khao Lak Seafood
Affiliated with the restaurant of the same name, these fresh-faced bungalows are a solid choice for small wallets.
Phu Khao Lak
Service oriented operation with comfy huts and great food. A five-minute walk south of central Khao Lak.
Khao Lak Sunset
What this last generation resort lacks in style, it makes up for with a prime beachfront location and good service. Prices are good and if you want comfy sleep without blowing big bucks, you can't go wrong here. It's at the southern end of town.
The Sarojin
A quiet retreat with a Japanese-meets-modern-Thai style, service here is stellar and the whole setting (there are only 56 rooms) is elegant and intimate.
Poseidon Bungalows
On the other side of the headland near Khao Lak/Lam Ru National Park, about 5km south of Hat Khao Lak, this quiet spot features a gaggle of huts scattered throughout coastal forest.
Similana Resort
Each bungalow is a small work of art, with handcrafted furnishings, dark-wood floors, quilted bedcovers, bay windows and private decks with panoramic views. Try the traveller-recommended tree houses nestled in the beach-facing forest.
Happy Lagoon
A short hop from the beach, this somewhat cheesy spot, complete with fake concrete karsts, has a popular open-air restaurant-bar that lends the whole place a lively air.
Khao Lak/Lam Ru National Park Bungalows
There is a handful of four- and six-bed bungalows in the national park. Standards are basic, but the setting will suit those after an eco-experience.
Khao Lak Merlin
This giant resort, 7km south of town, features a maze of swimming pools and colonial-style rooms stretched along six hectares of lush tropical gardens.
Suwan Palm Resort
Rechristened after the tsunami (it used to be the Khaolak Orchid Resortel), this hotel has rooms with floor-to-ceiling glass doors opening onto a patio overlooking the water. Beautiful! The rooms are tastefully decorated with light teak furniture.
La Flora Resort
On gorgeous Hat Bang Niang, this is resort exudes barefoot class; it’s both elegant and supremely relaxing. Cabana-style villas are large and modern with sexy beachfront infinity pools, and there’s a kid-friendly pool in the centre of things.
Khaolak Banana
These adorable little bungalows have swirls painted on the cement floors and sun-filled indoor–outdoor bathrooms. A cute pool with deckchairs sweetens the deal.
