Thailand

Poised on Pratumnak Hill with a private beach and three lagoon‑style pools, InterContinental Pattaya Resort frames wide Gulf vistas toward Koh Larn while keeping the city at arm’s length. Less than two hours from Bangkok, the resort offers 156 rooms, suites and villas—each with a balcony; 40 include outdoor salas, and two are standalone villas with private plunge pools.

Dining spans Thai, Asian and international buffets at Elements and Mediterranean plates at sunset‑facing Infiniti; private candlelit Beachfront dinners elevate celebrations. Amburaya Spa blends herbal rituals with sauna sessions, while Club InterContinental delivers breakfast, afternoon tea and evening cocktails with Pattaya’s finest sunset views. A 24‑hour gym, kids’ pool, event venues, EV chargers and complimentary parking complete a discreet base for couples, families and executive retreats.

Andaz Pattaya Jomtien Beach is the first Andaz resort in Thailand, officially opened in 2023. Nestled along the serene shores of Na Jomtien at the southern end of Pattaya, the resort spans over six hectares of lush tropical landscape, surrounded by century-old trees and vibrant gardens, creating a secluded oasis where nature, design, and local culture harmoniously converge. The resort features 204 thoughtfully designed guestrooms, suites, and standalone villas, each with a private balcony or terrace. Select accommodations offer direct pool access or uninterrupted beachfront views, blending modern aesthetics with Thai-inspired accents to create spacious and tranquil interiors. Guests can unwind in three outdoor swimming pools, including a family-friendly pool with play features and a beachfront infinity pool with sunset views. The PAÑPURI Spa stands out as a holistic sanctuary, offering organic treatments rooted in Thai wellness traditions, complemented by a yoga studio, sauna, and a fully equipped fitness center for complete rejuvenation.

Dining options are diverse and vibrant, with six distinctive venues including the seafood-centric Fish Club, authentic Italian cuisine at La Cucina, Thai specialties at Wok Wok, and premium steaks at Village Butcher. Poolside and beach bars offer relaxed settings with cocktails and light bites. Families are well catered to with the Sanuk Sanuk Kids’ Club, which provides engaging activities and a dedicated play space. Conveniently located just 10 to 15 minutes from central Pattaya, the resort balances seclusion with accessibility. With its natural ambiance, culturally enriched design, and exceptional service, Andaz Pattaya Jomtien Beach redefines luxury beachfront living on Thailand’s eastern coast.

The new Pattaya Marriott Resort and Spa establishes a necessary partition between the frenetic neon pulse of the city center and the rhythmic calm of Jomtien Beach. Inspired by the native sugar palm trees, the structure eschews sharp angles for fluid, organic curves that seem to sway in the static form. Floor-to-ceiling glass erases the boundary between the air-conditioned sanctuary and the humid embrace of the Gulf of Thailand, flooding the interiors with natural light that dances across sand-colored stone and woven textiles. It is an aesthetic of "effortless escape," where the luxury lies in the seamless transition from the private balcony of a Premium Suite to the visual infinite of the adult-only pool, which appears to spill directly into the ocean.

For families, it is a playground of tangible joy, anchored by spacious rooms featuring bespoke bunk beds and a pool complex alive with the splash of water slides. Yet, for the epicurean, the experience is grounded in the aroma of charred oak and flour at La Familiare, where Chef Marcello Piacentini orchestrates a service of handcrafted pasta and dry-aged steaks that rivals any trattoria in Milan. As the day dissolves, the social gravity shifts to the Sunbird Bar. There, with a craft cocktail in hand, the condensation cooling your palm, you watch the sun bleed into the horizon—a cinematic finale that confirms you have found the golden mean between vibrant chaos and absolute serenity.

MASON, Pattaya’s ultra modern luxury pool villas were born from the owner’s passion for design and vision of creating a unique experience for honeymooners and romantic couples to enjoy a private and comfortable stay. Designed by award-winning architect, Vasu Virajsilp, the hotel’s architecture is inspired by its beautiful location in Na Jomtien beach, Pattaya, a two hour drive from Bangkok. The resort sits right in between Pattaya’s cosmopolitan skyline to the right, and Pattaya’ s local fishermen village to the left. Pool villas atop a rock hill offer panoramic ocean views, romantic sunsets, and private sundecks for an ultimate honeymoon experience.
