About The Grand Southsea
The Grand Southsea sits directly on Pakarang Beach, one of the longest and quietest stretches of sand in Khao Lak. Rooms are spacious with a contemporary tropical design, and the setting is made for slow beach days and sunset watching.
The atmosphere is relaxed and unhurried, which suits couples and anyone who wants the Andaman coast without the crowds. The old listing also refers to the property as Southsea Khaolak Beach Resort, so check the name on the booking page.
Why it works for a stay in Khao Lak
Pakarang is Khao Lak at its emptiest: wide sand, a reef that appears at low tide and sunsets over open sea. A beachfront resort here is for travellers who want that space on their doorstep and are happy to drive to the restaurants of the centre.
Cape Pakarang is about a 20-minute drive north of central Khao Lak, so you'll want transport for dinners out. Many guests are happy to stay put, though, with sunset over the sea and long walks on the sand.
