Combining the charm of priceless cultural heritage with exceptional service, Marriott Hotels opens a new paradise for relaxation by the southern sea. The world-class beachfront resort is now ready to welcome guests starting from December 2024. It invites travelers to experience unique moments and impressive service, with premium amenities and a design reflecting the region’s beautiful local heritage.

Marriott Hotels®, a leading brand within the Marriott Bonvoy® portfolio, a global group of hotels with over 30 outstanding brands, has officially launched the Khao Lak Marriott Beach Resort & Spa. This resort marks the first Marriott Hotels-branded property in Khao Lak, one of Thailand’s most beautiful beach destinations.

Khao Lak Marriott Beach Resort & Spa is located on Bang Luad Beach in Khao Lak, Phang Nga Province, on the southwest coast of Thailand. This pristine area is surrounded by lush nature, with golden sandy beaches stretching along the turquoise Andaman Sea, dotted with islands, green forests, and stunning waterfalls. This incredible resort is also conveniently located near world-class diving destinations such as the Similan Islands and Surin Islands, as well as nearby attractions like the Phang Nga Bay Viewpoint, Sangeh Canal, and the Khao Lak-Lam Ru National Park. It is just a 90-minute drive from Phuket International Airport.
