Thailand – All-Inclusive Sun Holiday

On Thailand’s southwest coast, Khao Lak is in the business of recharging batteries. The beaches are completely unfurnished, so all you get is long runways of powdery blonde sand. And the waters here attract scuba divers from around the world.

Apsara Beachfront Resort and Villa

The contemporary Apsara Beachfront Resort and Villa mixes modern good looks with impressive sea views.

This stylish hotel sits on Pakarang Beach, so you’re just steps from the sand. There’s an infinity pool here, as well as pools for the kids. And the Apsara Spa is worth a visit for one of their Royal Thai Silk treatments.

The hotel is split into two areas. The resort side, made up of rooms in low-rise buildings, has its own set of facilities. And if you opt to stay across the walkway at the contemporary villa side, you’ll have access to a load of extra features.

This chic hotel’s pools come in all shapes and sizes, and include a long beach-view number and a curvy lagoon-style pool. A smart international restaurant sits poolside, plus you get a nearby à la carte beach bar with comfy sofas and sunset views. The spa is within grabbing distance of the beach, too – keep an eye out for its al fresco massage stalls.
