Kalima Resort & Villas Khao Lak

Alexander Merzlak

This resort is truly amazing and kid-friendly. My wife and I spent four nights here, with our two small children, at the end of our trip to Thailand. The design and decoration of the resort, including the rooms, is very sleek and modern with clean wooden elements. The Two-Bedroom Suite was large and a great fit for a couple with two children. There are multiple outdoor pools, where one is a shallow children's pool with water slides that our children really enjoyed. The breakfast is excellent with a large variety. For dinner, you can choose between an al fresco buffet by the pool or a Japanese restaurant. The buffet was good, but the Japanese restaurant was on a much higher level - especially the Sukiyaki, A4 Wagyu steak and nigiri. Also, the café had some surprisingly good cakes and coffee. There was a fire show in the evening, which was nice, and we used the free kayaking on the river in the resort. The massage treatments at the spa were great and very professional. The only downside is that the resort's beach is pretty far away and requires a short walk. I highly recommend this resort when visiting Khao Lak!

One of the hotels I’d gladly stay at for a very long time without hesitation! The rooms are of an extremely high standard — even the least luxurious room in this hotel is better than many luxury rooms in other hotels. I booked a suite with a private pool — it was perfect. The room was very spacious, everything was clean and organized. The hotel is designed in a way that makes it easy to get anywhere within it. The breakfast was excellent. There are restaurants for lunch and dinner, and besides emphasizing how amazing the food is, I must highlight — with great respect — the restaurant staff. You won’t find such a respectful and wholehearted team anywhere else in the world. Specifically, the waiter named Wet (if I remember correctly) — I complimented him personally and thanked him for his precise and professional service. Truly no words. The pools are perfect. There’s also a pool and slides for kids. Simply perfect.

Lovely, clean and beautiful resort hotel. Location: It is a bit further out of Khao Lak, but that suited us perfectly as it was super quiet (& Thailand can be a bit chaotic!) Easy trip from Phuket airport Couple of restaurants just outside - The Family one was great and about half the price of the hotel restaurants. Rooms Spacious and clean. We had a pool access room. Lots of space to put clothing and tidy away suitcases Large bathroom Nice seating area They give you umbrellas, robes, slippers and torches in the room, very useful (especially the umbrellas as it rained a bit in the evening). The mini bar and room service were good value Activities Lots of activities if you want. We did the bike tour to see the turtles and some yoga. Need to sign up for them on the app App Really useful- good for ordering Room service or extra towels etc. Beach Beach was gorgeous, water warm and clean. Free sunbeds and a bar at the hotel Beach. There is another Beach about a 10 min walk away (Paradise cafe). We went here most days as the sunbeds were more comfy. And the food and massages were half the price. Grab the beach taxi (100 baht for 2 people, well worth it) Food We ate at all the restaurants and had great meals. Really liked the sushi at the gin teppanyaki restaurant. Breakfast was great - although some of the guests were picking food up with their fingers... Overall a great hotel in a beautiful setting

Beautiful hotel with modern and spacious rooms. Great breakfast. This hotel provided one of the best services I’ve ever experienced. Every staff member was warm, welcoming, and always ready to help. I requested a late checkout until 3 p.m. and was pleasantly surprised when they offered a complimentary extension until 2 p.m. Since we had already arranged to switch hotels for the following days, the staff kindly offered us a free shuttle service to our next hotel using their Khao Lak Centre shuttle bus. This thoughtful gesture truly exceeded my expectations. We had a fantastic stay and would love to return in the future. Highly recommended!

Our week at Kalima Resort in a 2-bedroom villa was absolutely unreal! The villa was stunning, with breathtaking views and a luxurious, peaceful atmosphere. The staff were truly amazing, going above and beyond to take care of us—especially as my husband was unwell during our stay. Their kindness and attentiveness made all the difference, and we felt so well looked after. Also, a special mention—the tortoise is doing just fine and is being well cared for! 🌿🐢 Highly recommend Kalima Resort for an unforgettable, relaxing getaway with exceptional service! 💙✨
