Last year was seemingly a rough year for everyone. As 2017 takes us by storm, we all could use a quick vacay before taking on all the resolutions we’ve set for ourselves. From first-class amenities to faultless views, here are the most luxurious resorts in Thailand to escape to in 2017.

1. Phulay Bay Resort

Spa Hotel, Resort

Adventurers flock to Krabi to get their hands on the numerous climbing sites along Railay Beach. Others visit in order to explore its colorful night bazaar, visit the mangrove-filled national park, or go out in Krabi Town. Phulay Bay Resort just gave people one more reason to visit: pure luxury. Phulay Bay, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, is located among the limestone cliffs that dominate the Andaman Sea near this particular province. The resort is accessible by land, air and sea, making it a great accommodation option for those travelers who want to park themselves in one place for the entirety of their stay. From a personal butler who assists guests for the entirety of their stay, to the traditional Thai ceremony that greets guests upon arrival, Phulay Bay Resort is sure to impress even the most discerning. The villas are nothing less than extraordinary: each one is equipped with large indoor baths, private plunge pools, and walk-in wardrobes. The resort itself is overflowing with amenities worth checking out as well, including an infinity pool, spa, yoga center, and more.

2. Zeavola Resort

Resort, Independent Hotel

About an hour’s boat ride from Krabi or Phuket will have visitors arriving on the stunning island of Koh Phi Phi. Phi Phi Don attracts herds of tourists every year, and it is here they will find Zeavola Resort, one of the most luxurious resorts in the south of Thailand. It is located on the northeastern side of the island on Laem Tong Beach, providing guests with ultimate privacy as it can only be accessed only by boat. The villas and suites are made of striking teak wood, making the rooms feel rustic yet extremely luxurious. With over 50 rooms to choose from, guests will find no shortage of accommodation options. In addition to its stunning rooms, Zeavola Resort is equipped with top-notch luxury amenities. From its spa, which is tucked away in the surrounding jungle, to the two outstanding restaurants that serve both Thai and international cuisine, guests will never want to leave this exquisite resort.

3. Pimalai Resort and Spa

The Andaman Sea is home to some of the most popular islands in Thailand. Because of this, escaping the bikini-ridden beaches can feel like a difficult, if not impossible, task. That is where Pimalai Resort and Spa comes in. This resort and spa offers visitors an oasis away from the usual onslaught of tourists. Jungles and mountains on every side almost entirely hide the resort, making it incredibly isolated. The resort even has its own private beach, with over 900 meters white of sand that guests can call their own. In addition to lounging on the secluded, remarkable beaches, guests can also be pampered by one of Pimalai Resort and Spa’s massage therapists. Those looking for something a bit more exciting might instead choose to snorkel, dive, trek through the Lanta Marine National Park, or cycle the island with one of the resort’s bicycles.

Paresa Resort Phuket

Phuket is a top destination for almost all who visit Thailand. From its flowing waterfalls to outstanding beaches, the island certainly gives tourists a plethora of reasons to make their way down south. Paresa Resort Phuket just gave tourists one more reason. Resorts do not get much more luxurious than this, equipped with a number of top-notch hotel services and facilities. The resort has two different delicious restaurants to choose from; those wanting to try the most authentic and popular of Thai dishes should head to Talung Thai, which has a stunning wooden outdoor seating area overlooking the Andaman Sea. Those looking for something a bit more foreign might instead opt for Diavolo, Paresa Resort’s Mediterranean restaurant. In addition to its class cuisine, visitors can cool off in the outdoor infinity pool or lounge in one of the 49 amazing guestrooms.
