Motive Cottage Resort  

Tucked in the heart of Khaolak (Takua Pa) on Thailand’s Andaman coast, this boutique resort sits a short walk or a 5-minute drive from Bang Niang Beach and Bang Niang Market, close to Khaolak Mini Golf and near Sirinat National Park — about 75 km north of Phuket International Airport. Family-friendly and pet-friendly on request, it’s a quiet base for beach days and local markets.

A stylish, oriental Thai–styled boutique resort with around 29 rooms including deluxe rooms and suite cottages, each with private balconies and day beds overlooking the glittering pool or tropical gardens. Rooms come with individually controlled air-conditioning, en suite showers, cable TV, mini fridge and tea/coffee facilities, plus on-site massage treatments and a kids' pool for relaxed, laid-back stays.

Dip between indoor and outdoor pools, stroll down to the resort's private beach, or sip a tropical drink by the stream in the open-air dining area; guests can also hire bicycles, park on-site, use laundry services and enjoy 24-hour reception. Sensory note: wake up to sea-breeze mornings and poolside calm — pets are allowed on request (extra charge).

Complimentary Wi‑Fi across the property and in rooms keeps you connected, with conference/banquet facilities and luggage storage available for events; a roundtrip airport shuttle is offered for a surcharge.

An on-site restaurant and a coffee shop/cafe serve breakfast (American breakfast available) and light meals, with an open-air restaurant spot that looks over the pool and stream for easy, relaxed dining after market runs or beach days.
