X2 Kui Buri

It may be fashionable to boast of having abandoned Thailand for parts less well-known, but deep down you know that as long as there’s still undeveloped coast, and thus new resorts to be opened, you’ll keep on finding reasons to come back. One compelling enough reason is X2 Kui Buri, set on another stretch of beachfront paradise just south of Hua Hin, a place where you can get a taste of the calmer, quieter Thailand that inspired all this travel in the first place.

The villas waste no time on thatched roofs or any such desert-island aesthetic — the stone walls and blond wood fixtures look relentlessly modern, and if you need reminding where you are, you can just take a look out at the beach. Many come with private plunge pools but even those that don’t are spacious and impeccably appointed; air-conditioned, with plasma televisions, DVD players, big sun-lit bathrooms, private terraces and gardens and indoor and outdoor showers.

Escape privately if you want or join the (modest) crowd — there’s a central pool for social swimming, with spa services offered in treatment rooms or beach pavilions, as well as the visually striking 4K restaurant and the late-night cocktail bar.

How to get there:

X2 Kui Buri is approximately a 3 hours drive from Bangkok, just past the towns of Hua Hin and Pranburi. Limousines, cars and vans are available from all airports. Secure parking is also available at the resort. Please contact CustomerService@TabletHotels.com for assistance with transfers.
