The 40-room luxury boutique Aleenta Phuket Resort & Spa offers a high level of comfort in a quiet, somewhat isolated location on Khok Kloi’s Natai beach. The resort’s minimalist, low-rise white-cubed exterior looks almost Mediterranean, and rooms are similarly chic. While there's little in the immediate area -- making it ideal for those looking to escape Phuket's loud nightlife scene -- the landscaped grounds are beautiful, and the beach has sofa-style seating, along with bean bags and parasols. Breakfast gets particularly good reviews; the same is true of the food at the Natai and Edge restaurants, the latter of which has impressive sea and pool views, though there are reports of uneven service. Note that the most expensive rooms -- villa which come with chef, chauffeur, and butler service -- are some distance away from the main facilities, while Pool Residence Rooms have private pools and more seclusion. Travelers could compare rates with the similarly luxurious Six Senses Yao Noi, which also offers a yoga pavilion and boxing ring for fitness buffs.

Overlooking the Andaman Sea, Maikhao Dream Resort & Spa is an upscale property with a range of tastefully decorated rooms, suites, and beach houses. While at a first glance the rooms appear elegant and modern, upon closer inspection, there are some evident wear and occasional maintenance issues. The two on-site dining options offer Thai and western dishes, plus there are a stunning pool with a swim-up bar, stylish lounge bar, and beach bar. A swish spa offers a range of treatments, and the small gym features weights and cardio equipment. Families looking for a luxury property at a similar price should consider Robinson Club Khao Lak, which has ample facilities.
