What is it?
Devasom Khao Lak is a sanctuary where time itself seems to slow down – perfect for those seeking true peace and stillness. Just an hour north of Phuket, trade the well-trodden tourist trail for a more refined stay, devoid of unnecessary distractions.
Why we love it?
It’s not just the setting (though waking up to a pool, a lagoon and a beach doesn’t hurt); Devasom Khao Lak’s attention to detail is evident in the very first moments of check-in. Throughout October, the resort invites you to embrace its endless summer offer – a collection of experiences designed for rest and renewal that come complimentary with any booking of three or more nights. Think three-course dinners at the Takola Thai restaurant (one of only four Michelin-awarded restaurants in Thailand's Phang Nga province), spa treatments following ancient local techniques, Himalayan sound healing and gourmet breakfasts served in-villa. And if you’re out to impress that special someone, this spot lets you go all out without going all bust.
Time Out tip:
Although there’s a lot to do in the resort itself (and lots of it free if you make the most of their current deals), don’t forget you’re also a stone’s throw away from kayaking, cycling and nature trails – all facilitated by the hotel to keep things blissfully stress-free.
Until October 31. 79 Moo 3 Khuk Khak Beach Road Khao Lak, Takua Pa, Phang Nga 82220.
