“Luxury resort with private beach overlooking the spectacular Phang Nga Bay. Rooms are unabashedly indulgent, with all the luxuries one could desire and a secluded tropical feel. The best have their own plunge pools. Dinner is a romantic beach-side affair yet families are also made very welcome.”

Phulay Bay, A Ritz-Carlton Reserve
