Make Waves at These 15 Best Khao Lak Hotels You’ll Never Want to Leave!

| Last Updated: June 2025

After one too many restless nights and a mounting to-do list that wouldn’t quit, I knew I needed a serious break. Not just any weekend escape, but somewhere calm, coastal, and completely cut off from the daily grind.

That’s how I found myself scrolling through Khao Lak hotel listings, and I was determined to swap stress for serenity. With every click, the images of turquoise waters and breezy balconies pulled me in deeper, until I finally booked a trip and hit the road.

What followed was nothing short of magic—I was greeted with the sound of waves, and spent the rest of my day on the poolside while enjoying the sunset. So, if you’re dreaming of an escape, here are my handpicked hotels in Khao Lak that you must also experience!

If you’re heading to Khao Lak and prefer something peaceful yet polished, Grand Mercure Khao Lak Bangsak is a solid choice. The entire resort is built around a man-made canal, and this adds a lot to the vibe—almost every corner of the place feels calm and tucked away.

The rooms are spacious and cool, especially the ones with direct pool access if you’re into that straight-from-bed-to-swim lifestyle. What stood out for me was the beach access—it’s super clean and not overrun, and there’s a row of local massage huts and eateries just a short walk away.

If you’re staying longer, the breakfast rotation doesn’t get boring, and the happy hour by the pool is a good way to break up your afternoon. Even with the resort’s polished setup, the staff are friendly and down-to-earth.

Pro tip: Ask the front desk about the free shuttle to the Khao Lak night market. It’s a good way to explore the local scene without needing to haggle for a taxi, and it’s a nice change of pace from beachside lounging.

The rooms are roomy and modern, and if you’re up for a splurge, the pool access rooms give you a direct dip without ever leaving your private terrace. What sets this place apart is its saltwater poo—supposedly the largest in Asia—and yes, it’s massive.

You can swim from one end to the other without bumping into anyone. The beach is just a few steps away, and it’s long and clean, perfect for your morning walk or sunset stroll.

The beach is just a short stroll away and surprisingly quiet given how big the resort is. What makes this hotel stand out is the variety because of their multiple restaurants, a full fitness and wellness program, and even unique activities like buffalo bathing and floating yoga.

The service is also worth noting—the staff seem genuinely happy to help, and you’ll probably end up remembering their names by the end of your stay. It’s a polished experience without being stiff or too formal.
