Guest sentiment
A 195-room, Green Globe-certified beachfront resort on Bang Sak Beach with seven pools and a canal-inspired Thai-village layout.
Last updated August 12, 2026
Grand Mercure Khao Lak Bangsak is a five-star beachfront resort on Bang Sak Beach in Khao Lak, roughly 94 km (about 90 minutes by road) north of Phuket International Airport. Its 195 rooms and suites are arranged across low-rise, canal-threaded buildings inspired by southern Thai riverside villages, with seven swimming pools, some with direct pool-access rooms, plus Pran Spa and a kids' club. Guest reviews consistently praise the beachfront setting, distinctive architecture, cleanliness and attentive staff, while some note the resort's remote location -- about 17 km from Bang Niang -- means limited nearby dining and a quiet evening scene, and a few flag pricier on-site food.

Frequently asked questions
How far is Grand Mercure Khao Lak Bangsak from Phuket Airport?
It's about 94 km north of Phuket International Airport, roughly a 90-minute drive along the Andaman coast road. That distance is one reason Khao Lak markets itself as a quieter, less crowded alternative to Phuket's beaches for travelers willing to add the extra transfer time.
Does Grand Mercure Khao Lak Bangsak have pool-access rooms?
Yes -- alongside standard Superior and Deluxe rooms, the resort offers Deluxe Pool Access rooms with private terraces opening directly onto one of the property's seven pools, letting guests step from their room straight into the water without walking to a shared pool deck.
