Andakiri is a resort where every villa has its own private pool and a balcony facing the Andaman Sea, scoring 8.2 from 82 reviews. The villas step down a hillside above Ao Nang, and the shot couples bring back most is the private infinity-pool edge at dusk, the water catching the pink-and-orange sky with the limestone cliffs lined up as silhouettes on the horizon. Some rooms are set up for honeymooners. The draw is a pool just for the two of you — no sharing — and a swim as the sun goes down. It sits high up, about 5 minutes' drive from the beach, with a shuttle running down to the sand.
