375 pool villas accommodate guests at this expansive resort on a private stretch of Khem Beach. Some have up to four bedrooms, with ample living spaces and all are thatched, with luxe five-star furnishings and floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors, for an outside-in living experience. The decor has a fashionable boho edge, with accents of bright colour on a mostly neutral palette. There’s a spa, fitness centre, infinity pool and separate kids’ pool with water slides, as well as a club for children from 3 to 12 years old. Dining choices at New World include an airy Lounge cafe with cream sofa seating, a woodfired grill, a thatched pool bar and the international Bay Kitchen.
