K. Wipawadi Holidays from AU$1,451

We spent a peaceful long weekend at Racha Kiri Resort & Spa Khanom, and it was an ideal escape for my mother and me. The private villas offered real privacy and comfort, with sun-lit terraces and, in our case, a relaxing pool—perfect for casual chats and slow mornings. The staff were genuinely friendly and attentive, making every interaction warm and seamless from check-in to departure. The spa was a highlight—professional Thai-inspired treatments in a calm, soothing setting that felt like a mini retreat in itself. Dining was satisfying, with a mix of Thai and international flavors and a focus on fresh ingredients. The resort sits on a quiet stretch of Khanom Beach, so early walks at sunrise or a lazy afternoon by the water were all part of the experience. If you’re after a refined, low-key beachfront stay with spa time and a serene pace, this is a wonderful choice for a two-generation getaway. Note: it’s a bit secluded, so plan transfers and any extra excursions accordingly.

Super view. Clean and very attentive polite friendly staff

Right by the sea. Really quite location. Great for a peaceful few days. Shop just across the road with other restaurants nearby. Transport needed as it is very hilly.

The accomodation was nice, little overpriced but pool room was nice and clean. The staff were lovely and went above and beyond to provided anything we needed. I even left some new T shirts I got from Bangkok in the room which they kindly forwarded on to me. Staff amazing, nice hotel, breakfast was good, just a little expensive. They have a happy hour on cocktails but still a little overpriced, two for the price one would be better and fairer. Great cafe across that does lovely coffee and nice food and a shop you can buy some beers from at cheap prices, location is a little remote but grew if you can hire a bike, which also available through the hotel.
