"While the aesthetics of our age trend ever further toward light wood and brushed steel, Jamahkiri Resort and Spa remains an unapologetically lush tropical getaway. Set on the island of Koh Tao in the Gulf of Thailand, Jamahkiri offers views of the water from all of its rooms, pavilions, and suites. If an overhead view of the water isn’t close enough, the two- or three-bedroom villas place guests right on the beach. It’s designed less as a luxury knockout and more as a serene destination for nature lovers, and the rooms, bar, and spa of the main hotel make for a tasteful update on the tropical theme — open air, dark woods, and traditional Thai interiors. Divers will feel especially catered to here, as the resort offers both educational and recreational diving experiences, taking full advantage of its oceanside location." - Tablet Hotels
