Khao Lak
Haadson Resort | $$
Modern Chic
This intimate resort is located on Bangsak beach which is several miles long and you have the whole thing virtually to yourself! It is situated approximately 15 minutes drive north of Bang La, often referred to as central Khao Lak. Although separated from the beach by a small road the hotel will set up sun loungers on the beach if required. The resort is 75 minutes by car from Phuket International Airport. The Similan Islands National Marine Park and its world class dive sites are only an hour away by speed boat.
The 39 room resort is split in to two distinct areas. At the rear of the resort are the 5 Coconut Villas, each villa is surrounded by dense tropical forest and comprises 4 individual guest rooms, 2 rooms on the ground floor, and 2 rooms on the first floor. Separated by a lagoon that forms an island are the free standing Lakeside and Island Villas, and for the relatively little extra we definitely recommend this option. These villas are larger and feature additional leather day beds on the terraces, internal and external bathrooms and some with open air terrazzo bathtubs. The interior decoration is contemporary Asian in design, more sophisticated than this price range of accommodation usually allows, but the thatched roofs give the outside a more traditional feel.
Each room has
- Air-conditioning
- Television
- Minibar
- Hairdryer
Dining options consist of the main restaurant, which serves delicious Thai and Western fare, a smaller café serving drinks and light snacks near the pool and the Terrace Bar which serves a wide selection of beverages. There are also three open air massage pavilions bordering the swimming pool, where trained therapists provide authentic Thai massage. There is also a library with games and internet available.
This small simplistic resort offers fantastic value for money especially in the standalone villas and even though a little isolated from the main town there are still a few local eateries within walking distance. The Haadson offers the perfect balance of a natural setting and hotel facilities and probably best suited for adults looking for a relaxing break.
This is just one of the hotels that we recommend in this area. If your favourite is not featured just let your consultant know - we will be happy to book it for you!
