Trang Beaches & Islands
Straddling an arrow-shaped white-sand peninsula framed by views of karst islands and the mainland, Sivalai wins the award for Ko Muk's most fabulous location. The elegant dark-wood bungalows are sizeable and tasteful; some have wraparound verandas. There are two pools, a handy spa (massages from 700B) and the restaurant sits right at the tip of the peninsula.
Kayak rental is 300B per hour.
