Marriott Hotels®, the namesake brand of Marriott Bonvoy's global portfolio of over 30 extraordinary hotel brands, announced the opening of Khao Lak Marriott Beach Resort & Spa, marking its debut in Khao Lak, one of Thailand's most beautiful beachfront destinations.

Situated in a prime location on Thailand's stunning southwest coast, Khao Lak Marriott Beach Resort & Spa is just steps from the unspoiled Bang-Lut Beach and the azure Andaman Sea. The resort is surrounded by a wealth of natural wonders, including long stretches of golden sand, idyllic offshore islands, lush jungles and waterfalls. This breathtaking coastal destination offers easy access to world-class diving spots like the Similan and Surin Islands, with stunning underwater landscapes and nearby attractions like Phang Nga Bay viewpoint, leisurely kayak rides along the Khlong Sang Ne waterway, and Khao Lak Lam Ru National Park. Phuket International Airport is just 90 minutes' drive away.

Crafted by P49 Design, the innovative architecture studio, Khao Lak Marriott Beach Resort & Spa is an elegant, low-rise retreat with a modern design concept based on the local coastal heritage and sea-faring trade that has shaped this captivating coastal region over the centuries. The resort boasts stunning sea views and breathtaking sunset vistas, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of Khao Lak.

The Greatroom is the heart and soul of the resort – Marriott Hotels' take on the traditional lobby space, with a leisure twist. It is a collective hub, that transitions seamlessly from day to night, where people come together to socialize and meet-up between activities. A sophisticated yet welcoming space to relax and refresh, guests are instantly welcomed into its energetic atmosphere. Adorned with diverse textures, time-honored arts & crafts, warm hues and traditional motifs, the stylish Greatroom & Bar offers a menu of familiar favorites through Marriott Hotels' elevated and locally-inspired lens, setting the stage for memorable daytimes and evenings.

The modern and locally-inspired design narrative flows throughout the resort's 283 rooms, suites and villas, ranging from 50 to 124 square meters in size and equipped with private balconies, naturally-lit interiors, refreshing bathrooms and premium amenities. Many of the ground floor rooms and suites offer direct access to the resort's lagoon pools, while a selection of family suites and pool villas provide plenty of space for life's most important occasions, from fun-filled vacations to romantic honeymoons.

Diners can discover a tapestry of flavors at a choice of seven restaurants and bars, including Goji Kitchen + Bar, the all-day dining venue designed to be a vibrant culinary marketplace, Thai Curry Sala, which specializes in Southern Thai delights, Lido Beach Restaurant & Lounge, which offers a taste of the Italian Mediterranean, and Panasia Grill, the fire-grilled top floor venue where guests can grill their own fresh seafood and meats, set against the backdrop of endless ocean vistas.
