The Sensimar Khaolak Beachfront Resort is a modern four-pearl complex overlooking a golden sandy beach. Its contemporary style is a contrast to the many more traditionally styled resorts in the area, and grounds are neatly kept. The location is within an easy stroll of Khao Lak's busy center and the property has an excellent array of amenities, including a beachfront restaurant, five pools, a gym, and spa. Rooms are well-finished, and the bungalows set in beachfront gardens are first-class. This adult-only resort has a sophisticated, relaxed vibe, though previous guests find opting out of the all-inclusive plan means more chances to try local fare in town. Travelers looking for more Thai character may try neighboring Moracea by Khao Lak Resort instead, where rates are slightly lower but families are allowed.

The 96-room Leaf on the Sands is a mid-range boutique hotel that's located a five-minute walk from Nang Thong beach and close to Khao Lak's shops, restaurants, and bars. The attractive, grassy grounds include two pleasant pools (though there are often insufficient loungers), as well as a spa housed in a traditional Thai-style outdoor pavilion. Rooms are spacious -- especially the chic bathrooms -- and feature simple, pleasant decor. The hotel's Rice Barn restaurant gets mixed reviews, as does the breakfast included in room rates. The free Wi-Fi access offers excellent speed and reliability, but is only available in rooms and not at the poolside areas. As an alternative, travelers could also try the Khaolak Oriental Resort, which includes a well-reviewed breakfast.

The 30-room, four-pearl Chongfah Beach Resort is a boutique hotel situated right on the Andaman Sea in Khao Lak. Rooms are modern and airy and feature super-comfortable beds, air-conditioning, and flat-screen TVs. Nearly half of the rooms here are spacious bungalows complete with refreshing outdoor showers, private hot tubs, and patios (a few of which have incredible beach views). The hotel has a chic infinity pool that faces the sea, and the on-site Seaborn Restaurant gets great reviews and serves the free breakfast. Guests should keep in mind that while there are lounge chairs along the beach, it is only good for swimming when the tide is low. The hotel is wildly popular among couples on holiday, and it is a quieter, cozier option when compared to the larger Mukdara Resort next door.

This 38-room four-pearl resort is one the most beautiful and elegant in the area. Though there are other resorts flanking it on the Khao Lak coast, this resort truly feels like an isolated tropical oasis, with rustic-chic design throughout.

This large, four-pearl resort is situated directly on one of Khao Lak's beautiful beaches with a small on-site lake where guests can kayak.
