The Marriott Vacation Clubs™, a collection of vacation ownership brands under Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation, is expanding its presence in Asia Pacific with the opening of Marriott Vacation Club, Khao Lak Beach Resort in Thailand this August. The new resort is part of broader regional growth, that includes a new development at Marriott’s Enclave at Bali Nusa Dua Terrace and new apartments at Marriott’s Bali Nusa Dua Terrace, as well as the expansion of The Marriott Vacation Club’s marketing call center in Shanghai.

Introduction of Marriott Vacation Club, Khao Lak Beach Resort

In August 2025, The Marriott Vacation Clubs will debut its newest destination: Marriott Vacation Club, Khao Lak Beach Resort. Located within the stunning JW Marriott Khao Lak Resort & Spa, just 90 minutes from Phuket International Airport, 52 Family Suites are being thoughtfully transformed into spacious 2-bedroom vacation ownership apartments offering four distinct room types. Designed to comfortably host up to five guests, each apartment blends the warmth of Southern Thai-inspired architecture with traditional furnishings and locally influenced artwork. Perfect for extended stays, the accommodations will feature spacious living and dining areas and cozy bedrooms.

The architecture at the new resort takes cues from a traditional Lanna-style farmhouse, showcasing teak details, simple gabled roofs, warm wood paneling, and wide-open verandahs framing views of the Khao Lak mountains. Here, Owners, Members and guests will have access to JW Marriott Khao Lak Resort & Spa’s garden, part of the resort’s commitment to a sustainable future. The JW Garden supplies the resort with fresh, organic produce, cultivating more than 200 varieties of fruits, vegetables and herbs used across its restaurants. Guests can also take part in hands-on classes and workshops focused on farming, sustainability and well-being. Sustainability is further woven into the guest experience at Marriott Vacation Club, Khao Lak Beach Resort with initiatives designed to reduce environmental impact. Efforts include the elimination of single-use plastics throughout the resort, the use of reusable glass water bottles in guest rooms, and bamboo key cards as a natural, biodegradable alternative to plastic.

As part of the JW Marriott Khao Lak Resort & Spa campus, Owners, Members and guests at Marriott Vacation Club, Khao Lak Beach Resort will also enjoy a range of amenities, including an impressive one-and-a-half-mile lagoon swimming pool, the largest in Southeast Asia, a kids’ pool, 11 restaurants and pool bars, and, in late 2026, pickleball and basketball courts, adventure golf, and bicycles for exploring the area are anticipated to be available.

Construction of additional apartments began in March with a ceremonial groundbreaking featuring a Brama ritual and Thai monk blessing ceremony to honor and bless the land. Additionally, a new sales gallery will open in early 2026. Designed to deliver a fully immersive experience, the space will introduce guests to the world of vacation ownership through an engaging showcase of the brand’s global portfolio and diverse destinations. This space will also showcase Thai design elements, such as lush tropical greenery, and a refined palette of warm neutrals, celadon green, and soft blue-greys to evoke a sense of place. Reservations are now open for future rental stays on www.MarriottVacationClubs.com, and Owners and Members in Abound by Marriott Vacations™ can use Club Points to reserve stays now with check-ins beginning August 28, 2025.
