10 hotels in Khao Lak: Best hotel deals for 2023
Just 80 kilometers north of Phuket, Khao Lak was essentially erased by the 2004 tsunami. But the town, and the tourist industry it relies on, has rebounded. It remains quieter than other coastal destinations, offering secluded beaches, tranquil nights and family-oriented activities. You want full moon parties and besotted nights? You’re out of luck. But if you’re looking for unparalleled scuba diving in the Similan Islands, you’ve hit the jackpot.

Family friendly resort
Reviewed By lichinl2017We booked the pool access and the kids’ beds including bed cot were all ready when we checked in. The room was spacious and clean. We called to make up the room early and the staff came promptly. In room food service was fast too. For the swimming pools, there are 3 pools and one of them is for adults only. The water slides, water playground and lazy pool open at designated time. Generally the food was good including breakfast at the floating market. When we were there, breakfast was at floating market, lunch at manta ray and dinner at talay. Also, there was Japanese food stall outside melon minimart.

Absolutely awesome
Reviewed By only_work_4_holidayHad a fantastic holiday all the staff are amazing so kind friendly and thoughtful. Accomodation was fab, had a two bed pool villa for the week. It had everything you could want and was cleaned daily to a high standard. Always staff around they were all very helpful they work so hard to make people's stay awesome and definitely succeeded for us. Never had to wait for anything including a buggy in the rain storm. The hotel was so quiet we seemed to have all the pools both on villa side and main hotel side to ourselves which was a lovely bonus. AI food and drinks good. Can have AI drinks at all the bars (didn't realise this at first) the sun set from the beach bar is awesome! Beautiful walk along the beach in the lovely warm water seeing all the different wildlife! Surf school and rental on site which is great. Hotel has a bus/car service into the town at a reasonable price used the local open back taxi services to return ( a little bit scary at times but what an experience). A short walk away is the Elephant home and we had an amazing time there including a delicious lunch at Memories bar. Fantastic hotel, gorgeous setting, amazing staff with plentiful facilities made an awesome holiday, would love to come back and explore Thailand some more from Apsara!

Beautiful hotel and great service
Reviewed By Life_of_scubaOur stay was very pleasant. The hotel, its pools and our room were all stunning. Our room maid surprised us every day with different, lovely towel creations, the room was very clean and we had direct access to a huge swimming pool. Since there weren’t many other guests during our stay, we were the only ones using the pool and the jacuzzi which was even better. Special thanks to the very attentive front desk staff, especially Zel and Jack who were always willing to go the extra mile to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The only reason for not giving 5 stars is the restaurant. Unfortunately, none of the waitresses we had were proficient in English therefore there were often misunderstandings. We always asked for drinks without ice but got them each time. One time we ordered a starter to share and main courses and they brought everything at the same time which led to the food getting cold. In general, the food in that restaurant was a bit too pricey for the portion size and quality but on the other hand, the restaurant manager was very kind on our first day - we slept all day because of jetlag and got hungry late in the evening when the restaurant was already closed - Jack from front desk asked the restaurant manager if they could fix something and 10 minutes later they brought us food to our room. That was a lifesaver! Their breakfast buffet offers a lot of Thai and international food, always fresh, always delicious! It’s also nice that there are two Happy Hours every day and they make fantastic Caipirinhas! Also, our room had all amenities one can imagine - plenty of towels, a beach bag, flip flops, slippers, bathrobes, shampoo, body lotion, umbrellas, international sockets - very convenient and the shower gel smelled really really nice. All in all, this is a perfect hotel for couples - especially since it’s an adult only hotel - and I can recommend it to anyone looking for a calm and relaxing ambiance in a more secluded area. If you want to go to the city center or the market, you should use their free shuttle service or get a taxi with an app called GRAB since it is several kilometers away from shops etc. If you use the taxi app you can save a lot of money, it works like Uber. Thank you for an unforgettable stay, we plan on coming back in two years! Markus and Christina

Devasom Khao Lak is the dream place for a relaxing beachfront escape with the touch of authentic local experience.
Devasom made our dream vacation come true!!
Reviewed By KenswiftA friend from High School who lives in Thailand recommended this resort to me after hearing I was planning on staying at a Marriott in Phucket and boy was he right, I cannot say enough great things about this Hotel. But let me explain,.. I had a trip to Thailand booked right when Covid hit, so this has been a long time coming. It was me, my wife, and my 17 year old daughter. We traveled 24 hours from the states just to get here but it was so worth it. The property is stunning. Everything has such a classy feel to it. This is more of a boutique resort but you can tell the owner has such a tremendous sense of style and eye for detail. For example, all of the doors have been imported to the property and are magical. I’ll include some pictures in this review. We stayed at a beachside villa and it’s beyond expectations. We have our own pool, and can walk right past it to the beach. The bathroom is insanely beautiful, with an actual plant growing from the ground right next to the freestanding bathtub. It’s so Zen and beautiful. The whole property exudes this sense of style and elegance. Let’s talk about the service. Kobie, our butler, and his staff couldn’t have been more accommodating. He went above and beyond to ensure that all of our needs were met and that our trip had zero stress. For example, we told him we had an excursion that left at 6am. When we went downstairs to meet the transport, one of Kobies staff members ran out to us with 3 boxed breakfasts and waters. He knew we wouldn’t have time and wanted to make sure we had eaten….who does that?? That’s just a small example of the level of service you get here. Lastly let’s mention the food. We ate several times at both restaurants on the premises and they are Michelin Star Rated and totally deserve that star! All the food, INCLUDING the buffet, were top notch. From the fresh passion fruit at the buffet, to the Australian Rib Eye, or the pizza oven cooked pizzas, the incredible pad Thai, or that mango sticky rice which will forever change my opinion of what mango should taste like. Everything was incredible! My wife and I are foodies and have very high standards and we ate so many unforgettable meals here! I’m including a bunch of pictures. You will see what I mean! Thank you Devasom for making our dream vacation come true. We are forever grateful for the amazing memories. If you are thinking about booking, stop thinking and do it! You won’t regret it!

Welcome to Moracea by Khao Lak Resort, carefully designed so that our guests will experience a new dimension in comfort and luxury while maintaining the original concept of a private holiday within a natural and peaceful environment.
Lovely hotel on the beach.
Reviewed By Paul SWe asked for a quiet room and we’re given chalet 229 We had a partial sea view from the balcony and could hear the sound of the waves at night. The chalet shares a small pool 4 other chalets and was peaceful during the day. It was a joy to watch the kingfishers in the trees and a monitor lizard wandered past on its way to the beach. The beach is shared with a number of other hotels all of whom try to clean up the flotsam that comes ashore. The waves are strong here. The staff are friendly and efficient and the food is good however we choose to walk into town in the evening where there were two good restaurants, Mojo and Bussaba these are only a 10 minute walk or 100 baht in a taxi. We booked an extra package that included transfers and a cocktail each evening. Well worth the money we paid
