Today (April 17, 2017): Top 10\u00a0best luxury hotels &\u00a0resorts in Thailand.<\/strong><\/h5>\n

A veritable paradise of sugar white sand, crystal clear waters, and dramatic scenery, Thailand\u2019s tropical beaches are renowned around the globe\u00a0for their beauty, and as a consequence, unfortunately, mass tourism has spoilt some of them. Remember the movie The Beach<\/a>\u00a0with Leonardo DiCaprio in the lead role? Well,\u00a0these days you have to look a little harder to find the utopian Thai paradise as described in Alex Garland’s 1990s cult backpacking novel, although little gems still shine brightly on the Thai island Koh Phi Phi, where the movie was filmed. Despite being a magnet for budget and backpacker travelers, Thailand also happens to be home to some of the world’s most ultra-luxurious resorts, whether it be beach enclaves, urban hotels or jungle retreats. Here’s my selection of the top 10 most exclusive resorts in Thailand, and while all of them are stunning hotels, the number one resort is\u00a0an absolutely amazing, out-of-this-world place.<\/p>\n

There is more\u00a0information (with trip reports & Youtube clips) below the slideshow. Think I missed one? Share your favorite Thai hotel\u00a0in the comments section<\/strong>, or take my\u00a0poll<\/strong>\u00a0below.<\/p>\n

10. COMO POINT YAMU, PHUKET<\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n

COMO Point Yamu is a Phuket luxury resort located at the tip of Cape Yamu overlooking the Andaman Sea and the dramatic limestones of Phang Nga Bay. Interiors by Italian designer Paola Navone offer a unique expression of contemporary Thai luxury, alongside a COMO Shambhala wellness retreat and two world-class restaurants for Thai and Italian cuisine.\u00a0Its location above the Cape, overlooking Phang Nga Bay, affords a 360 degree spectacular Andaman Sea views, but not direct access to private beach. However the resort does have a private COMO Beach Club on\u00a0a small island, 40 minutes by complimentary boat shuttle from\u00a0the hotel.<\/p>\n
