JW Marriott Khao Lak Resort & Spa has been honoured as Thailand’s Best Beach + Island Hotel at the Travel + Leisure Luxury Awards 2026, marking its third consecutive win. Additionally, the resort's General Manager, Abhimanyu Singh, has been named Thailand’s Best Hotel General Manager, highlighting the leadership and people-first culture that define the resort's success.

This dual recognition underscores the resort's consistent quality and character, which have also earned it accolades such as Best Resort in Thailand and No. 7 in the World in the Condé Nast Traveller Readers’ Choice Awards.

The resort is committed to responsible tourism, supporting marine ecosystem restoration and targeting carbon neutrality by 2030.
