Seven Seas Resort

This boutique resort is by far the plushest option on Kradan. Supersleek rooms draw many Scandinavian visitors with their terrazzo floors, indoor/outdoor bathrooms blending into tropical gardens, enormous low-slung beds and, for some, private cabanas. Hugging the jet-black infinity pool, the resort's breezy restaurant serves pricey Thai/international dishes. It's in a prime location halfway up Kradan's main beach, with 24-hour electricity.
