Fodor's Expert Review Centara Seaview Resort Khao Lak

Octagonal villas with high ceilings, four-poster beds, and whirlpool tubs epitomize the luxury available to guests at this resort on a small private stretch of sand. Though the beach is nicer farther north, the water here is swimmable and, as it is on the south end of Nang Thong Road, the resort is ideally located for romantic beach walks. That is, if you can tear yourself away from the stunning tiered swimming pool long enough to explore the beach.
