Kalima Resort & Villas Khao Lak

Pedro Mahlberg-González

stayed with my partner at the Kalima Hotel for two weeks, and it was a truly pleasant experience. The hotel perfectly matched what we were looking for: a relaxing vacation, mostly to spend quality time together as a couple, without the rush of doing too much sightseeing (since it’s not our first time in Thailand). We stayed in one of the Villas and were pleasantly surprised by how spacious the room was. Every detail was perfectly functional, and it offered great privacy since it was located at the end of the hotel, close to the beach. The food at the hotel was delicious. Breakfast offered a basic buffet, but both hotel restaurants had a good variety of dishes — from pasta to meat options — which I really appreciated as a picky eater. Service was 10/10 — the staff were always smiling and seemed to genuinely enjoy their work. It was lovely to see that during our stay, there was even a day when the hotel organized a staff party on-site, and everyone looked so happy. The beach was nice — not really comparable to the Krabi area (those beaches are truly paradise!) — but it was perfect for relaxing on the loungers while listening to the sound of the waves. The spa was incredible, I received a massage that aligned each and every one of my chakras. The service was super nice, offering tea and cookies throughout. Points for improvement: there wasn’t always staff available at the beach kiosk; sometimes there was no one around to assist us or offer drinks. Other than that, I would 100% recommend this hotel:)

Kalima Resort and Spa Khao Lak – An Unforgettable Stay in Paradise We stayed at Kalima Resort and Spa Khao Lak for a week during the low season and were absolutely blown away by the experience. Not only did we receive an incredible 73% discount off the original price, but this resort turned out to be the best place we stayed during our month-long trip around Thailand. This was our first visit to Khao Lak, and we couldn’t have chosen a better resort to end our holiday. Nestled in a tropical oasis surrounded by palm trees and lush greenery, Kalima offers the perfect balance of tranquility and luxury. It’s located slightly out of town, making it an ideal spot for anyone looking for a peaceful and relaxing getaway. From the moment we arrived, the staff were welcoming, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was exceptional. Every interaction was genuine and full of Thai hospitality. The resort’s facilities were outstanding – multiple pools suitable for all ages, and a fantastic kids club where our daughter spent most of her time, happily entertained and cared for by the lovely staff. We were also impressed by the free activities included in our stay, such as canoeing on the river, where we were lucky enough to spot an elephant bathing, and Thai kickboxing lessons with one of their experienced instructors. The dining options were excellent, with three restaurants offering a mix of international and Thai cuisine. Our highlight was the Teppanyaki BBQ at the Gin Bar & Restaurant, where our meal was cooked right in front of us – a fun and delicious experience we’ll never forget. The cocktails were the best we have had in Thailand. Our deluxe room with a spa bath was spotless, beautifully designed, and conveniently located near all the resort’s facilities. Even on rainy days, we were well looked after – the resort provided umbrellas and a shuttle service to take guests anywhere around the property. Overall, our stay at Kalima Resort and Spa was nothing short of amazing. The beautiful setting, attentive staff, and incredible amenities made it the perfect ending to our Thailand adventure. We will definitely be recommending Kalima to all our friends and family – and we’re already planning our return trip next year! 🌴✨

The hotel is very nice and quite big. The swimming pool is big including the kid swimming pool. I like that they have a mini private pool right in front of your room. Too bad we did not get that kind of room We got a room on the second floor. It was pretty hard with a baby and a stroller working up and down. Other than that, everything is good. Especially breakfast is the best. There are a variety of food and sweets. The staffs are friendly

We had an amazing time. Everyone were so nice and kind. The resort is beautiful, highly recommended. Kids club is very nice and the team was very helpful. Breakfast was great and also the food in hotel restaurants. It’s important to know the resort is a bit away from the center, but there are shuttles, and its very comfortable to use. We’re waiting for our next time there.

A nice hotel, with great VFM. We booked the Deluxe room which was very spacious with a huge bed, a small terrance and both a shower and a bathtub. The staff was mostly kind and professional, and the design of the hotel is very nice and well maintained. On the facilities side they have a private beach (where we loved seeing the sunset from) and several pools, a few restaurants and a gym. One thing to note is that the hotel is quite separated from other hotels, but is still quite close to the city center (about 10 mins driving). This in my opinion was an advantage, as we got the privacy and quiet we wanted, but some people could find it as s disadvantage. Their breakfast was ok, nothing too special, but since it's on a terrance in the open air, there are so many bees & mosquitos everywhere. Their creative way of dealing with this is leaving plates with fruits jam & honey all around, in order to try and attract the bees, but it doesn't really work and it's quite disturbing having breakfast while bees are flying all over, sitting on your food. The worst part is the bread & pastries section, which is closed by a door, but most of the guests either leave it open, so a lot of bees are coming in and it basically turns at some point into a small closed space filled with bees, so we really avoided getting in there, or at least staying there for a long time.
