pretty modern, awesome to arrive or to leave thailand!”

Since Khao Lak is not that far from the airport, we spent the last days of our 4 weeks trip at La Vela. Of course the resort is not typical of Thailand. But we liked the modern style and the comfort that comes with it. The rooms (pool access) are pretty clean and offer everything you need, indeed much more than that! our son (3 years old) enjoyed the kids club. the staff there is really friendly (especially Kobi is great!). the toys and books are highly recommended. really nice breakfast!!! great pool area. great beach club. since food is quite expensive, we prefered to eat outside. there are lots of nice restaurants around. but that is the only bad thing i could stay about La Vela. and unfortunately our wakeup call (to go to the airport) did not work at all. whatever, we would always come back to "arrive" in thailand (if you fly from phuket airport) or to enjoy the last days of our vaccation!

What. Find!”

We stayed at La Vela for a couple of days until the room we had booked earlier at another resort became available. We loved it so much that we decided to come back for another week, and it will be our first choice next time we visit Khao Lak Liked everything about this place. It’s a Wonderful Modern resort, with cutting edge design and great facilities - including multiple (large) pools, funky bars and beach club,clean and quiet private beach. The rooms are also very well designed and appointed. It’s comparatively small (relative to some of the other very big local resorts in the area) which is plus, and the staff are super friendly Also close to plenty of local shops, restaurants, bars and massage options. Local market is a 10 minute walk and worth a visit- as well as all the shopping, the food stalls here are great! The Lady Boy Club , Moo Moo,is also worth a visit

Stunning Resort!!!!!!!”

Great location & stunning property , La Vela Khao Lak is nothing like your normal Resort, super cool structure completely different in every single way, while swimming in the gorgeous swimming pool you have a live DJ playing house music while over looking the ocean and sipping on your favorite cocktail was really relaxing and i mean what more can you ask for. We really enjoyed the breakfast, from choosing from their culture dishes like Thai curry and choosing from your English breakfast buffet was amazing ,they have so much to choose for breakfast, This Resort have all the specs needed to fulfill your holiday i loved every moment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3 nights in Paradise”

Absolutely loved our 3 night stay at the La Vela. The staff were wonderful always with a greeting and smile at the ready. The pools were stunning especially the beachfront pool at Kokulo. The large rooms were great with a large fridge decent size balcony and an extra large bed which was very comfortable. Great local restaurants within a few minutes walk outside of resort and the local market about a 10 min walk up to the main road. Daily buffet breakfast was great and I’m sure would satisfy even the most discerning critic. Overall it was great stay and a wonderful end to our 14 day visit to Phuket/Khao Lak. I highly recommend La Vela and hoping to return in 2018

Great new design hotel at Bangniang beach”

La Vela is a brand new design hotel. It just opened in May 2017. The hotel offers spacious rooms with many facilities such as a large fridge and a rain shower. Mineral water is provider evert dat. All rooms have pool and/or ocean view. There are 3 beautifully landscaped pools. Breakfast is eccellent and offers a great choice of Western and Asian dishes. My girls love the sushi for breakfast.... The staff is very friendly and helpful. The restaurant is a bit expensive but there are plenty of good Thai restaurants within 5 walking minütes. Great hotel if you come to Khao Lak!

Awesome hotel, perfect location a must to check out ”

We loved La Vela so much! We have stayed in 2 other hotels after La Vela on this trip and they both haven’t come even remotely close to the standard at La Vela. Rooms are beautiful, very comfy and super spacious for a couple. Bedding was so comfy we just wanted to sleep in every day. Breakfast was absolutely amazing. The best we’ve found on this trip so far, that out of 4 hotels. Huge selection and all really good quality for a buffet. Location is perfect! Stay at the resort or short walk to local restaurants, night market and bars. Best local pics... Fat Shark Bar a few minutes walk from hotel, Na Suang for great Thai Food at very cheap prices. Pools at La Vela are really nice! Wi-fi at the hotel is SUPER fast. Over 50mbps download. You’d have to be one very fussy traveller is La Vela wasn’t up to your standards.

Beautiful place will definitely return ”

I’ve been to Khao lak 3 times now and la vela was by far the best hotel. The rooms are beautiful and so is the views around the hotel. The only issue I feel I need to mention is the drinks are very expensive. Yes they do have happy hour but when you are paying £7 a beer in happy hour in Thailand that’s expensive. Other than this amazing place.

Amazing.”

Ok so when booking this hotel, some of the reviews written were not justified at all. Coming from a couple who know Thailand like the back of their hand from yearly travels to diving, we know our hotels. Here’s my review of this wonderful sanctuary in Khao Lak in priority order Room: A true sanctuary. This is what my dream bedroom would look like- sheer curtains lookout to the forest on one side, ocean to another. Plenty of light settings to set the mood and a lovely bath in the balcony- most rooms have this- I didn’t have complete privacy but u couldn’t care less, no one could either all are having a wonderful time at the resort 10/10 here for room, shower setting and the best bed in the world ( after our own). Breakfast: Up there alright-location and service and everything perfect-coming from a person who has been to 40+ countries and goes to Thailand yearly

Everything is perfect!”

The location is very good, easy to find and not too far from Phuket just about 1 hour. I've been there on the weekend, so the hotel is full and quite busy, but the staff were well organized. My room type is Deluxe Poolside (twin beds), it's very specious. Good view, not far from reception and main restaurant "Spices". I had a lar carte dinner from Spices Restaurant and it's excellent. The food, the taste and atmosphere are on top. I noticed the price in each menu is a little bit higher than some other restaurants in 4-5 stars hotel in Phuket, but it's worth to pay. The buffet breakfast is tasty, recommend to come around 7:00 AM avoiding crowded. The hotel design is unique. You will get lots of photo to upload for a month. The staff - reception, bellboy, housekeeper, waiter and trainee at the bar, everyone is helpful with great service mind. Thank you to take care me and my friend, I'm definitely come back to LA Vela again.

La Vela Khao Lak is wonderful!”

Wonderful modern hotel with everything we wanted. Staff were exceptional and friendly, and only too helpful if we asked for anything. Room was modern, and very comfortable. The hotel had several swimming pool options, and then of course the beach just past the pool. Several food and beverage options offered plenty of variety. The hotel is perfectly located within a short stroll to Bang Niang afternoon/ night market and many choices of cheap restaurants and street food. We had a midnight flight the day we checked out, and the staff offered to store our luggage, use all the hotel facilities, and shower and change in the evening before heading to the airport. A top notch hotel at a very reasonable price. We will go back again next year for sure!

Breakfast to die for”

This place looks fantastic, great design, very modern. Being located in Khao Lak you do need your own accommodation and being located next to the beach it is a bit inside the main road. The beach in front is however amazing with beautiful setting for the restaurant there and can really relax there in front of the beach. The rooms are very well put together with great shower facilities. The breakfast is without a doubt THE BEST buffet breakfast I have ever had in any hotel, simply an amazing selection.

Second home”

We went to La Vela first time whilst it was having a soft launch. We were impressed then, even though only half completed but now it is fully open it was a delight to stay there. The rooms are big and well designed, very modern decor, with a big bathroom, and all the conveniences you require. The staff are simply charming and very polite and obliging. We only ate breakfast but the choices are great, and the freshly baked bread is gorgeous. The setting, right on the beach, and close to shops, bars and restaurants is amazing. We tried to find even the smallest fault and failed. We booked with hotel to return next Easter, whilst there, and can’t wait

Awesome stay, very recommended :)..”

We had a great stay here in Khao Lak, lots of clean beaches around the area. The hotel is super nice, great selection of breakfast, love the kids pool, love the beach as well. Nice and big room. Very recommended hotel in Khao Lak area :)..

Fantastic place”

We really enjoyed our stay at La Vela. Our rooms (deluxe ocean view and family poolside) were spacious and well designed. Breakfast was really declious and with varieties although very hectic and crowded. Hotel staff seemed overly tired and while the hotel is relatively new it hasn’t been well maintained at all as we could already see lots of wear and tear in the rooms. Overall, it was a fantastic stay and we would definitely be back for another visit.

Best beach hotel in Thailand”

We stayed at La Vela for 10 days and thoroughly enjoyed our vacation. From the great breakfast (including high-quality sushi, very good asian and european dishes) to the stylish beach club with pool and bar we were impressed by all amenities. We highly recommend choosing La Vela and the Ocean Deluxe Room.

Nice hotel for selfie-lovers”

The hotel looks nice, but not so comfortable. - The pool has a lot of sharp ages, which looks good, but you can harm yourself - The water in pool is blue, that looks nice, but it smells. etc. The breakfasts are really great!!! Location is also ok. The biggest disaster is the super-trashy-dirty beach, which is cleaned just once per week (according to the receptionist). If you will walk on the beach, you will see that "La Vela" has the most dirty beach in the neighborhood. I hope they will fix it.

superb surprise”

While visiting Khao Lak, and takin a morning beach walk, we came across this amazing design structure protruding from the crest of the beach... huge triangular fixtures, glass and beach chairs... we had to see it, as we got closer we could see the rest of the structures and hotel... upon further steps on the property this amazing piece of architecture revealed an amazing use of angles and lines and modern / minimal design, flowing water infinity pools and fantastic landscaping. We went on to ask for a room tour and I was convinced I needed to check in and experience this first hand... and it was worth it...

New good hotel”

Beautiful hotel, rooms were big, swimming was very good. The beach is not that good as the sand in all of Khao Lak was not white as expected. Breakfast in my opinion is mainly for Thai people, they need to improve the breakfast for non Thais.

Great vacation resort”

I will recommend this hotel to anyone want to have a nice vacation in KhaoLak. Modern and big swimming pool, nice and clean great value for you money and time to spend @La Vela KhaoLak

Had an amazing week here and would totally recommend the hotel to all types of traveler. Thank you ”

Well, what can I say, we had a fantastic time at Le Vela, from the wonderful friendly greeting on arrival we just knew this was going to be a great week. The breakfast was superb, the beach is fantastic, plenty of sunbeds both in and out of the pool. Soft bean bags and sofas, you really can’t ask for more. The food all day is of a high quality and the theme nights make is pointless going out at night. We had many of the signature cocktails which were just brilliant. All the staff were so friendly and made us feel like it was our holiday home. Thank you for a superb week.
