Kalima Resort and Villas Khao Lak

On Khao Lak’s sunlit coast, tucked where mangroves meet the sea. A five-star beachfront resort about 45 minutes from Phuket International Airport and a short drive to Khao Lak Beach, Bang Niang Beach and Khao Lak–Lam Ru National Park. Family-friendly and secluded, yet easy to reach.

Design leans on Sino‑Portuguese flair and tin‑mining heritage across 231 rooms and 19 villas. Rooms feature private balconies or patios, refrigerators, LCD TVs and bathrooms with separate deep-soaking tubs and showers. The property sits among mangroves, rubber plantations and river estuaries—cross a tiny river to get to the sand.

Pamper at the full-service spa with massages, body treatments and facials. Two outdoor pools, a waterslide, a steam room and an arcade keep everyone entertained. Bars include a beach bar and poolside bar, plus lounges and a coffee shop; 24-hour room service and a complimentary buffet breakfast are served daily—wake up to sea-breeze mornings. Complimentary wired and wireless internet and free self-parking are available; an airport shuttle runs for a surcharge.

A 24-hour business center plus a 5,382 sq ft conference space and two meeting rooms make events straightforward. Concierge, dry cleaning/laundry and complimentary wired and wireless internet support business stays.

Two on-site restaurants and a coffee shop serve casual and elevated options, with pool and beach bars for cocktails. Daily complimentary buffet breakfast is included; 24-hour room service and snack options keep it easy.
