Description

This lagoon resort is inspired by forgotten opulence that hails back to a little-known time in South-East Asia.
This new beachfront resort is about pure escapism. Opening in late 2018, it’s sister to the award-winning boutique hotel, Devasom Hua Hin, and is influenced by the same nostalgic themes but with a difference. This hotel takes inspiration from the unsung opulence of 6th- and 7th-Century Southeast Asia and the resort’s location nestled between a near-empty beach and a natural lagoon adds plenty of exclusivity.

On Khuk Khak Beach, the longest stretch of sand in Khao Lak and with the fewest hotels, this resort will be a promising hideaway. Local restaurants and markets are a 10-minute drive down the main road which connects Khao Lak’s small centres, although it’ll be hard to tear yourself away from the sumptuous surroundings of this hotel. There are unending sea views – the main infinity pool will look out over the beach and each room is partially or fully sea-facing. Dining will feel like an extravagant affair with high vaulted ceilings, there’s also a wine cellar to complement the Thai and western menus, and outdoor seating to embrace the glorious beachfront location. As well as grilled seafood and wood-fired pizzas, the Devasom Beach Grill and Bar will play host sunset cocktail parties.

Sunlight will bathe the shades of camel and gold in each room and there’ll be an impressive seven-foot bed fit for royalty in every room. Amenities are luxurious – a Bose sound system, quality Devasom toiletries and a minibar replenished daily with soft drinks and snacks (and selected alcoholic beverages for Villa guests). Seaside Grand Deluxe rooms are calming and elegant with ancient prints. Upgrade to a Seaside Junior Suite with Jacuzzi for views of the lagoon and sea and a private Jacuzzi, or to a Seaside Pool Paradise Suite for a plunge pool and a separate living room. Beach Pool Villas are super luxurious with selected premium alcoholic beverages included in your minibar and direct access to the beach.
