Haad Salad or Salad Beach was once called the Pirate Beach by the local residents. The sheltered bay and nearby mountains were perfect for pirates hiding goods and people. In the Thai language, Haad means Beach. In the local Thai dialect, Salad means Pirate, so Haad Salad means Pirate Beach. The local Thai dialect shortens Haad Salad to Haadlad so our hotel is called "Haadlad Prestige Resort & Spa."

Today the pirates are gone but Haadlad is ready for your visit with its beautiful scenery. Within a stone's throw of the white sandy beaches you will find swaying coconut trees, live coral reefs, tropical fish and crystal clear water. The picturesque bay is unforgettable at sunset and is even more scenic under the full moon as you watch the tide come in and out. Beautiful clean white sandy beaches are waiting for those seeking peaceful and relaxing holidays. Haadlad Beach is pristine and undiscovered. Come and see our successful resort where we preserve the natural calm and clean beach just the way the pirates used to see it (albeit through one eye)!
