When you really want to get ‘Away’, this Koh Kood resort is the ideal escape. Its location is idyllic, set under swaying palms on a lush hillside that fringes the beach. The wooden, thatched-roofed bungalows are all spacious and very comfortable with wide verandas that afford pristine views of the seascape and surrounding flora. With the largest activity and dive center on the island, guests can also enjoy great snorkeling and scuba diving as well as a host of water sports when not lazing the day away in a hammock or on the beach. “Escape” the resort’s signature restaurant commands one of the best views on the island while serving a savory selection of Thai, international and fusion cuisine. http://www.awayresorts.com
