The Sands Khao Lak By Katathani - Sha Extra Plus is a 5-star beachfront resort with tropical contemporary design and three distinct wings - Lagoon, Seaside, and Aqua - featuring Sands Castle Kids' Club and nine swimming pools across its prime location in Khao Lak center.

Themed Ocean Rooms

The Sands Khao Lak rooms feature underwater world themes adding tropical color accents. Lagoon Wing offers garden or lagoon-view accommodations, while one-bedroom supreme suites showcase panoramic sea views. Family rooms include marine-themed spaces with kid-friendly amenities.

Waterfront Dining Venues

Dining at The Sands includes Talay Restaurant serving fresh grilled seafood beachfront, and The Floating Market offering international buffets overlooking the lagoon. Six bars include the swim-up Coconut Bar and lagoon-side Mango Bar.

Leisure Activity Complex

Resort facilities encompass adults-only and family pools, water slides, a lazy river, and bubbling water features. The fitness center offers yoga, Thai boxing, and tennis, while the holistic spa provides treatments in a natural lagoon setting.

Beach Location Hub

Situated on Nang Thong Beach's 1 miles shoreline, the resort is 49.5 miles from Phuket and minutes from Khao Lak's shopping district. Nearby attractions include Khao Sok National Park and the International Tsunami Museum.

“This is a resort clearly built for families, with abundant poolside fun and a water park that will delight younger guests. The convenient location near Bang Niang market and Nang Thong beach is a definite advantage, and the spacious rooms, including well-appointed suites, contribute to a comfortable stay. It's a place that seems to exceed expectations for those seeking a comprehensive family resort experience.”
