Khao Lak, Thailand

Description
Inspired by verdant tropical nature, a shimmering ocean, and a rich cultural heritage of the ancient Takola seaport, La Vela is a luxury resort anchored on Khao Lak’s most serene stretch of beach, Bang Niang. This modern resort with 181 rooms and its characteristic local charm welcomes visitors from around the world with a glowing hospitality, bringing back the beautiful traditions of the local people during the maritime trade era.
Location
The 5* La Vela is anchored on Khao Lak’s most serene stretch of beach named Bang Niang. It is just an 1 hour 20 minutes drive north of Phuket’s International Airport. Bang Niang beach is about 2.5 km north of Khao Lak beach, but it is an even quieter version of sandy bliss with more streamlined beaches and fewer people. Close to Khao Lak Center, surrounded by several shopping and restaurant possibilities. Khao Lak National Park and Takua Pa Old Town are also just a short car ride away.
This resort is comprised of two distinct zones – oceanside and poolside, a total of 181 ultra-spacious guest rooms.
Every room offers the whole gamut of comfort and amenities that one would expect from a decent beach resort. A large fridge, fairly large desk, sleek sofa and daybed, stylish bath or jacuzzi, walk-in shower, and free high speed Wi-Fi exemplify what is on offer in each room.
