Thailand's Hidden Gems Holidays

Away from Thailand’s popular tourist areas lies a gorgeous selection of luxury resorts located on remote tropical islands or long stretches of unspoilt coastline. These secluded properties take a little longer to reach but are well worth going the extra mile for. Home to pristine beaches, stunning rock formations and beautifully clear waters, they are the perfect choice for those looking to escape the crowds and enjoy complete rest and relaxation.

Relatively undeveloped, the neighbouring islands of Koh Kood and Koh Chang offer gorgeous sandy beaches bordered by calm turquoise waters and rugged natural scenery. Their quiet shores provide a tranquil haven while their jungle interior offers a fantastic place to explore.

Koh Samet, a small, beautiful island in the Gulf of Thailand promises the perfect escape, with a national park and multiple beaches including the popular Diamond Beach, named after its ultra-fine sands and crystal clear waters. On the mainland in southern Thailand, the peaceful coastal town of Khanom boasts stunning beaches and adventure, with hiking trails, waterfalls and cave complexes waiting to be explored.
