Transformative project unveils extensive renovation and expansion, including an additional 127 rooms and villas, the Aqua Play Zone, new dining outlets, crafted experiences, and one of southern Thailand’s most significant events spaces.

A total of 127 additional rooms and villas have been built: 76 Deluxe Lagoon Pool View Rooms, 28 Deluxe Lagoon Pool Access Rooms, 20 Family Pool Access Studios, two One-Bedroom Villas and, for the ultimate escape, the Two-Bedroom Villa, to create a total of 420 rooms, suites and villas – including 178 with direct access to a private pool or the resort’s 2.4 km lagoon pool waterway – the longest in Southeast Asia.

Our latest addition now complements JW Marriott Khao Lak Resort & Spa, JW Marriott Khao Lak Resort Suites, an exclusive collection of 52 stylish two-bedroom suites that range from 89 to 111 square meters, ideal for families, with bright indoor and outdoor spaces, southern Thai-inspired design, contemporary living areas and private terraces or balconies that overlook the natural tropical surroundings.

Other facilities and experiences include a fully-equipped fitness centre, tennis and squash courts, the Kids Club and Quan Spa, which offers holistic healing therapies from traditional Thai massages to revitalizing body wraps and scrubs, many of which use organic coconut oil produced onsite at the resort. The re-imagination of the resort completes the vision of creating a “destination within a destination” and heralds a new era for Khao Lak, Thailand’s hottest beach destination located an hour’s drive north of Phuket International Airport. New additions include Sala Restaurant & Pool Bar, while Drift Beach Bar & Grill is the resort’s new steak and seafood grill, inspired by regional Mediterranean cuisine.

Couples can enjoy the privacy of a collection of private pool views and access rooms around an adults-only swim-up bar – and numerous serene spaces around the resort. One of many other activities available is helping the environment in the Art of Trash workshop, or guests can cruise around the 2.4 km pool on their floating hammocks, grabbing an ice-cold fresh coconut on the way courtesy of the resort boats that ply the waters – before catching a movie at the beach.

The pioneering resort, JW Marriott Khao Lak Resort & Spa, is setting a new benchmark in integrated luxury hospitality following an 18-month-long renovation and expansion that has transformed the property. The one-bedroom villas feature naturally-lit living spaces with contemporary furnishings, spa-inspired bathrooms, ample outdoor space, and a private pool.

A brand-new ballroom is a significant part of the expansion creating a new MICE destination in southern Thailand. On the ground floor, pool access suites allow guests to step straight into the inviting 2.4 km-long lagoon swimming pool. Curated experiences for two also include a couples spa journey, private temple excursions, romantic beachfront dining, cooking classes, a DIY spa workshop and mixology masterclasses of cocktails inspired by the sea.

Families will love the Aqua Play Zone, an exciting new destination where the water fun lasts all day long. While the two-bedroom villa spans 213 square meters, with a master king bedroom and a twin bedroom for children, extended family or friends, featuring two separate infinity pools.

A series of serene spaces, such as cozy cabanas, let guests reconnect and create memorable moments, whilst Khuk Khak Beach offers an idyllic setting to stroll, splash or sit in the shade of palm trees. This is primarily due to the considerable additions that open up new market segments for the destination – but also crucial due to the innovative guest experiences that have been introduced.

Inspired by traditional southern Thai houses, the standalone villas are located on Khuk Khak Beach, overlooking the Andaman Sea. The resort’s 11 restaurants and bars offer an array of dining choices, ranging from traditional Thai cuisine with sunset views at Ta-Krai to authentic Italian cuisine at Olive and international fare at Waterfront. Highlights include the wave pool where kids and families get the chance to duck and dive before heading over to the fountain trampoline, an inventive water-drenching activity designed for, what else, jumping!

All-day refreshments and cocktails can be enjoyed at the Deli, Beach Bar, swim-up Infinity Pool Bar, Aquamarine Pool Bar and Czar Bar. There is high demand for fully-integrated beachfront resort experiences in Thailand worldwide, and we are positioned to deliver this across multiple segments and market sectors.

“We are delighted to be unveiling the reimagined JW Marriott Khao Lak Resort & Spa today. and I believe the destination will become one of Thailand’s leading leisure tourism and MICE hubs in the years to come,” said Abhimanyu Singh, General Manager, JW Marriott Khao Lak Resort & Spa. Chic, stylish and naturally lit, the 758-square-meter venue can host up to 810 attendees for life’s most meaningful and memorable moments, such as gala dinners, award ceremonies, corporate conventions, and weddings.

Friends and family can also go to Muay Thai Sea Boxing, a hilarious but highly competitive sport where two boxers sit astride a poll and try to knock each other off.

Vacations are all about reconnecting with your loved ones, and an essential ingredient for this is the JW Garden, an outdoor space dedicated to cultivating organic fruit and vegetables. The aqua theme continues with a waterslide and outdoor playground before kids and parents can retreat to the Sala Restaurant & Bar, an excellent, casual outlet serving comfortable, familiar and healthy classics. Here families are guided by the resort’s chef to pick fresh ingredients and learn how to cook Thai dishes.

New facilities complement the new accommodation for everyone. Alternatively, guests can enjoy a family picnic among the fragrant herbs and flowers or even in the privacy of their suite or villa. It can be flexibly divided into three separate spaces for more intimate events, and the inviting pre-function area can also host exhibitions.

Alternatively, families can enjoy a beach picnic in our family tents or the interactive Teppanyaki Show at Sakura Japanese restaurant. Hence, they are close to the action – and can participate in the daily pasta-making, mixology masterclasses and marshmallow roasting held at Sala.
