Kirikayan

Kirikayan Boutique Resort is a small beachfront resort at the southern end of Chaweng, with just 32 rooms and suites arranged between the road and the beach. Asian artwork runs through the corridors and gardens, giving the property considerably more character than the standard modern hotel look, while the beachfront pool and restaurant open directly towards the sea.

There are only three accommodation categories. Deluxe Boutique rooms are the starting point, with 38–40 sqm of space and garden terraces, while the 42 sqm Duplex Suites add an in-room bathtub and private terrace. At the top are just two 55 sqm Sunrise Jacuzzi Suites, each with a private sea-view terrace and open-air Jacuzzi.

The main swimming pool and separate children's pool sit right beside Chaweng Beach, with sun loungers overlooking the water. Chalay-Bun Aesthetic Dining is also beachfront, serving breakfast in the morning followed by Thai and international dishes throughout the day and evening.

Kirikayan works particularly well for guests who want Chaweng within easy reach without staying right in its busiest section. The smaller scale, direct beach access and distinctive rooms give it a more personal feel than many of the larger resorts along the same stretch of coast.
