JW Marriott Khao Lak Resort & Spa
Overview
A contemporary beach resort with clean modern interiors and distinctly Thai design elements - the three storey buildings are topped with traditional high pitched roofs and hard wood floors and traditional Thai artefacts adorn the interiors. The impressive lobby bar offers cocktails with an iconic view of more than 3km of perfectly heated lagoon pool. The unique layout and sheer expanse of the swimming pool allows for most rooms to have a pool view and for those staying on the ground floor to directly access the water by simply stepping in from their private terrace.
Also just steps from the beach, this resort is a great choice for those needing some time to recharge with a good book or those that like to take long walks on the sand. (The beach has an adult’s only zone for couples). Just a short walk along the shore you will find local beach restaurants and massages and if you want to venture further afield, Khao Lak and Bang Niang are nearby for shopping and the latter has a great market three times a week. Day trips inland will enable you to explore the waterfalls and wildlife of three easily reached national parks.
