Contemporary chic elegance and traditional smiles—a winning combination!
With just 69 villas and suites, Devasom Khao Lak Beach Resort & Villas is a vibrant, fresh contemporary boutique that prioritises highly personalised service and facilities.
The resort is situated in the Khuk Khak area of Khao Lak, offering direct beachfront access and breathtaking views of the Andaman Sea.
The design combines both innovative and contemporary features with influence taken from bygone history, with some incredible artefacts gathered from around the region and some amazing heavy wooden doors imported from India.
The name Devasom is a combination of two Sanskrit words, Deva, meaning angel, and Ashram, indicating residence.
Devasom is located just a few minutes drive north of Khao Lak village, alongside a river inlet & lagoon. A 70-minute scenic drive as you head north from Phuket airport.
See important note within Chic Check below.
Devasom has 69 rooms and suites. Each is spacious and beautifully designed, combining modern-day comforts with subtle calming Thai influences.
You have a choice of:
Seaside Grand Deluxe, with 54sqm of living space and a partial sea view.

Devasom is very impressive in style, with spacious rooms and a real sense of elegance in the rooms and public areas.
Khao Lak has many new hotels, but at Chic we particularly like Devasom for its desire to be different. The acknowledgement of past cultures, the extremely high standard of accommodation and the super location. Plus the passion of the management team to provide something truly unique & memorable.
The design is outstanding, featuring numerous areas that capture the changing light, which is particularly attractive at sunset. You can tell the owners are well-travelled, not just in Asia, but in Latin Europe as well. This is especially noticeable in the restaurants with their almost Puglia influences.
Both David and Marie-Helene from Chic have stayed at Devasom and would be delighted to share their experiences with you.
Khao Lak is generally at its best weather-wise from November through to the end of April. The months May to October, when prices drop, tend to see more red flags, with higher sea swells and some beach erosion. July/September can bring more rainfall, usually in short heavy bursts, although more than 36 hours without sunshine is rare.
Despite increased tourism, Khao Lak is still a much quieter option than Phuket. That is part of the attraction. You can take advantage of the good air service in Phuket but enjoy a very different holiday experience. The nightlife in the Khao Lak village areas (three villages run close together) will be limited to a few restaurant bars, occasionally featuring music.
Khao Lak is a place for authentic dining and enjoying a relaxing drink rather than a party. There are a few shops selling holiday beachwear and a surprising number of “Ranjit Armani“ tailors.
In Khao Lak, there is plenty to see and do!
For something even more authentic, travel north by taxi for about 20 minutes from your hotel to the little town of Takua Pa, with its markets and walking streets. The immediate area offers offshore diving and snorkelling.
Inland you have the huge Khao Sok National Park with its dense forests. This location is perfect for immersive nature walks.
Elephant Hills Camp is one of the best known in the region. This can easily be twinned with your stay at Devasom and highly recommended.
There is an 18-hole holiday golf course close by and several more of a higher standard in Phuket.
Khao Lak can be easily combined with other points of interest in Thailand, such as Bangkok and Chiang Mai. There are also direct flights into Phuket from Hong Kong, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur,
Multi-country combinations are so easy. Ask us for suggestions.
There is another Devasom resort, located in Hua Hin, which is managed by the same excellent team, featuring a Thai-Victorian design theme that beautifully incorporates flourishes of Thailand. Easily accessible by road from Bangkok. Ask us for details.
Note: From spring 2026 it is probable the resort will be adding about 70 rooms in a new extension. This will be on the land across the river, to the left looking out to sea. The work is likely to last at least 6 months. Ask us for an update at time of enquiry.
