Buriraya Resort and Spa

Frommer's Review

Newly opened in the fall of 2003, Buriraya is the height of luxury and service in the hills high above busy Lamai Beach (once just a backpacker spot). Rooms in the larger tower block are very chic and comfortable with large puffy beds covered in sumptuous silk, rich wood floors and fine Thai appointments. Larger, freestanding Villas set in the resorts verdant gardens (all with private Jacuzzi and pool) are luxurious hideaways with fine traditional decor done on a grand scale. The pool is lovely, the spa is luxurious and there are great fine dining options. The views of sand and sea from this exclusive perch are breathtaking and everything is new and orderly.
