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 20 minutes’ drive from Phuket International Airport, The Sands Khao Lak is a perfectly located resort, superbly appointed with modern amenities and contemporary styling. 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. 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.
