Tolani Kui Buri Resort  

On the Gulf of Thailand coast in Prachuap Khiri Khan, roughly a three-hour drive south of Bangkok and just past Hua Hin and Pran Buri. Set on virgin beachfront land near quiet fishing villages, the resort sits on a peaceful stretch of sand. Family-friendly and far from the crowds.

Feels like a secret beach club carved into mature trees and wide open gardens. Designer-styled villas have private terraces, gardens and private patios — most come with their own pools. Rooms feature air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, DVD/CD and music libraries, minibars, tea/coffee facilities, in-room safes and private bathrooms.

Outdoor pool plus many villas with private pools, a sandy beach for lounging and a spa offering massages and body treatments. Active options include a gym/fitness center, diving and snorkelling, mountain biking, trekking, fishing, mini-golf, cooking classes, meditation and beach runs. Hot tub, karaoke, picnic and barbecue areas round out the on-site fun — wake up to sea-breeze mornings and unwind under the trees.

Conference facilities and meeting rooms with event services. Complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi across the property and free self-parking make business travel easy.

Home to the 4K restaurant and bar where international executive chefs serve fusion European and Thai dishes with all-day dining. There's also a bar/lounge and a coffee shop; English breakfasts are offered daily and limited room service is available.
