The Sands Khao Lak by Katathani

4.5* out of 5 stars

Boasting a style inspired by nature and showcasing an impressively generous use of space, The Sands Khao Lak by Katathani is quite the revelation. With a little bit of everything to its name, this beachfront resort has the serene and golden expanse of Nang Thong Beach to the rear, and Khao Lak shopping and dining districts in front.

About an hour and 20 minutes drive from Phuket International Airport, The Sands Khao Lak is a perfectly located resort, superbly appointed with modern amenities and contemporary styling. Guests can choose to stay at one of three wings - Lagoon, Seaside and Aqua. Each caters to a different type of traveller, with wings designed to rest, refresh and play. Vibrant greens, blues and yellows against brilliant white backgrounds make up the room interiors, the patterning and elegantly draped textiles evocative of tropical foliage.

The beautifully landscaped gardens surround a natural electric blue lagoon and frame the wonderful hotel pool – which features an impressive swim-up pool bar - to create an enticing exterior. A total of 9 pools can be found at The Sands Khao Lak, including 6 swimming pools with private access from rooms, 1 beachfront pool, 1 family pool, and 1 adults only pool - meaning you have plenty of options to choose from to go for your daily dip. 

To completely soothe and rejuvenate, The Sands’ holistic spa overlooks the lagoon and boasts five private treatment rooms where you can experience the best in Thai massage.

Enjoy sumptuous fine dining at the grilled seafood al fresco Talay Restaurant which is set just steps from the beach, or indulge in the lavish lagoon-side buffet where you will be served from a traditional Thai boat for a feast that you will never forget.

The Sands Khao Lak is also a perfect choice for families seeking an unforgettable getaway. The exciting Sands Castle Kids Club is sure to keep the kids entertained for hours with its array of activities and facilities including a ball house, trampoline, superhero and princess corner, nursing station, book corner, creative arts & crafts corner, game arcade and outdoor playground. Your little explorers can also make a splash at the kids' water slide, lazy river and Aqua Play Zone.

Finally, for a romantic retreat, you'll enjoy the hotel's couples zone. And if you’re planning your big day, The Sands is more than willing to accommodate and prepare for you the perfect dream wedding on the beach.
