Khao Lak Marriott Beach Resort & Spa

Ensconced in tropical gardens on Thailand’s tranquil southwest coast, this pristine hideaway offers endless indulgence on the shores of Khao Lak. Inspired by traditional riverside Thai villages, this five-star resort surrounded by lush tropical gardens, offers a tranquil retreat from the outside world.

High-end amenities invite complete relaxation: enjoy an invigorating swim in the beachfront pool, spoil yourself at Quan Spa, or experience a fresh take on Thai favourites at one of seven innovative restaurants and bars. The Pool Bar is on hand with tropical sips while the kids are entertained at Mariott Kids Club.

When you manage to tear yourself away from your slice of paradise, enjoy a stroll along the white-sand beach mere moments from the resort, or head to one of the nearby elephant sanctuaries to learn about these gentle giants. Along the beachfront, buzzy beach bars and cafes beckon with sundowner cocktails with your toes in the sand.
