The Retreat Khaolak Resort - SHA Extra Plus

A truly exceptional stay. The property is beautifully set in the heart of nature, offering a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere-you wake up to the sound of birds and complete calm. Every morning started with a delicious, high-quality breakfast, and the entire place was spotless and impeccably maintained. The location is ideal if you’re looking for tranquility. Khuk Khak Beach is less than 10 minutes away by bike, and we loved using the free bikes provided by the property to get there. We also visited Pak Weep Beach (around a 12-minute drive), which was equally beautiful. One of the highlights was biking about 15 minutes to feed the elephants-such a special experience. We ate almost every day at a lovely local restaurant called BOHO Restaurant, just 5 minutes away by bike-delicious food, a great atmosphere, and we were happy to support a small local business. We also enjoyed daily massages on the beach at Khuk Khak with a wonderful lady called Vivi-highly recommended. We rented a car for a few days and visited Phuket, but after experiencing the crowds, we were more than happy to return to the calm and beauty of Khao Lak. What really made our stay stand out was the staff—genuinely warm, kind, and always ready to help with anything. We felt very well looked after and wouldn’t hesitate to return. If you’re looking for peace, nature, and a slower pace of life, this place is absolutely perfect.

That we had to leave 😥

Beautiful location with a 10 min cycle to the beach with the added bonus of being able to use their cycles. The beaches are beautiful, clean and not too busy. Plenty of amenities including surfing board hire and classes . The host and staff were extremely helpful arranging transport, when required. The hotel is stunning , in a peaceful greenery setting. Breakfast was excellent with something different everyday. There are restaurants within walking distance. The hotel will arrange taxis to neighbouring town and market.
