Khaolak Palm Hill Resort
Compare prices
Khaolak Palm Hill Resort sits on a hillside in the Kukkuk area of Khao Lak, offering a laid-back retreat within the broader Phang Nga region of southern Thailand. The elevated setting provides a sense of seclusion while keeping guests within reach of Khao Lak's beaches and national park attractions. Tropical gardens surround the property, giving it a lush, natural character that suits the relaxed pace of this quieter stretch of Thailand's Andaman coast. Guests can expect a low-key atmosphere with access to an outdoor pool and an on-site bistro for meals and drinks. The resort appeals to travellers looking for a comfortable base rather than a large, activity-driven property — it is well suited to couples and independent travellers who want greenery, calm surroundings, and easy access to the region's nature and diving sites. Good to know: the resort's listed reception hours run from 08:00 to 17:00 daily, so travellers planning late arrivals should contact the property in advance to arrange check-in. Khao Lak's peak season runs from November through April, when seas are calm and conditions are ideal for snorkelling and diving excursions to the Similan Islands. Visiting during this window will make the most of both the resort and the surrounding area.
