Could this be the best family-friendly luxury resort in Khao Lak?
Thailand does luxury family-friendly resorts well, right? Well, the JW Marriott Khao Lak Resort & Spa could indeed be the best of the best. I mean, what family wouldn’t be enthralled by a pool that meanders 2.4 kilometres around the resort? The longest in South East Asia, it weaves gracefully through this luxurious five-star beach property. Some rooms even have direct access!
One particularly memorable experience of a stay at the JW Marriott Khao Lak Resort is being served a fresh coconut from the JW Boat. It slowly cruises by the public areas and pool access rooms daily, offering guests fresh coconut juice plucked directly from the local palm trees.
JW Marriott Khao Lak Resort is a paradise for both kids and adults. Boasting an amazing dedicated kids club and facilities, there are also plenty of accommodation options within the resort. Enjoy a family zone, aqua playground with a wave pool, water trampoline, spas and swim-up bars. For those who enjoy eating out, there are no less than 11 dining options.
But, where exactly is Khao Lak Resort?
Find Khao Lak Resort on the west coast of Thailand, right on the Andaman Sea. It’s around 60 kilometres north of Phuket and takes around one hour from the Phuket airport. Khao Lak is a small village enjoyed by nature and water lovers.
Chase waterfalls, go diving in the Similan Islands and explore temples. Alternatively, visit the local markets or just relax on the beautiful beach. It’s an amazing region to escape the hustle and bustle of Phuket.
