Hotel The Kib Resort & Spa (Phangnga, Thailand)

For travellers really looking to get away from it all, The Kib Resort & Spa, on the secluded Thai Island of Kho Khao, must seem a world away from the excitement of Phuket Island, 100 kilometres to the south. The villa-style lodgings are surrounded by greenery, with some opening onto the long stretches of sandy beach. The spacious units feature air conditioning, refrigerators, TVs, and bathrooms with rainfall showers. Guests in need of deeper relaxation can book a massage or other wellness treatment at the Surina Spa. The Kib Resort & Spa also incorporates a swimming pool and children’s pool, as well as a mini market and tour desk. Takola Restaurant, open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, serves a wide range of Thai and international dishes. There is also a beach bar. The hotel is under three kilometres from the ancient Ban Thung Tuk City trading post, and 55 kilometres from the spectacular rainforests and cliffs of the Khao Sok National Park.
