Fabulous luxury hotels

Thailand's breathtaking beaches, which are synonymous with sugar white sand, turquoise oceans, and tropical surroundings, are world-famous for their beauty; yet, mass tourism has damaged parts of them. Thailand attracts budget and backpacker travelers, but it also has some of the most opulent resorts in the world, whether they are beach hideaways, city hotels, or jungle retreats. Here are my picks for the top 10 most luxurious hotels and resorts in Thailand. While they are all lovely establishments, the top resort is truly extraordinary.

The innovative homes of Keemala, an all pool villa fantasy tucked away from the Phuket crowds and overlooking Kamala Village and the Andaman Sea, have curved designs and incredibly odd architecture. For those looking to have a good time, the resort is close enough to Kamala Beach, Patong Beach's energy, and all the exciting activities Phuket has to offer, but far enough away to step back and take some time to enjoy the peace and quiet of the rainforest and a variety of holistic activities and cuisine to promote wellbeing. The resort's 38 villas, which are covered by an enchanted canopy of rainforest and connected by a maze of jungle paths, are intended for visitors seeking a luxurious yet rustic getaway. Some villas are constructed in the canopy and have two levels, each with a private pool, a master bedroom on the upper level, and a spacious living and dining area on the lower level. There are several options in Thailand, whether you're looking for an upscale island paradise (try the Six Senses on Koh Yao Noi), or svelte 1970s curves (see Iniala Beach House in Phuket).
