Khao Lak Paradies Hotel, Hotel in Takua Pa district, Thailand
Khao Lak Paradies Hotel is a hotel in the Takua Pa district of southern Thailand, set on a stretch of sandy beach bordered by trees and tropical gardens. The property has around 38 rooms and villas spread across the grounds, some with sea views and some facing the garden, with roofs made of palm grass and interiors featuring local wooden furniture.
The hotel opened in 2002, making it one of the earlier properties built in a stretch of coastline that was only starting to attract visitors at that time. Khao Lak had long remained quieter than the nearby resort areas, and this gradual development shaped the low-key character that the area still holds today.
The area around the hotel is shaped by the slow pace of life that Khao Lak is known for, where evenings are often spent at the nearby beach watching the sun go down. Local markets and small restaurants close to the property serve fresh seafood and traditional Thai dishes that reflect everyday food habits in this part of southern Thailand.
The hotel sits about an hour's drive from Phuket International Airport, and the easiest way to get there is by taxi or rental car. On-site parking is free, and the front desk can help arrange local tours or transportation to nearby beaches and parks.
The hotel backs directly onto Laem Ru National Park, so guests can hear forest birds from the garden without going anywhere. This puts the property on the edge of two very different environments at once, with the beach in front and dense forest behind.
