Set on iconic Railay Bay and accessible only by boat, the Rayavadee Krabi offers one of the most picture perfect settings in Thailand, alongside superb accommodation and a relaxing ambience - the most famous luxury resort in Krabi.
Rayavadee is understated luxury, with just 98 two-storey pavilions set amongst 26 acres of tropical gardens, emulating the layout of a village in southern Thailand.
Rayavadee's three separate beaches offer fine white sand and an outlook onto the tall limestone islands of Phang Nga Bay - one of the most iconic views in the whole of Thailand.
Rayavadee has large swimming pools, a nice spa, plenty of water sports and lots of activities and excursions on offer.
Rayavadee also has a great reputation for dining, which is one of the highlights of a stay in one of the top luxury resorts in Thailand.
What’s so Special?
Rayavadee's Pavillions are lovely and a quite unique design on two floors.
Bear in Mind
Rayavadee is on a public beach so is not completely private (expect to see one or two long tail boats during the day).
That aside, Rayavadee is a stunning and luxurious Thailand retreat in a picture perfect setting.
Down a moonlit path along Phranang Beach, this romantic Thai restaurant overlooks the majestic limestone cliffs and tiny outlying islands dotting the Andaman Sea. On the menu, are well-executed classic Thai dishes including curries, soups, salads, and freshly caught fish. Guests can grab a drink on the deck, with a dome of stars above and crashing waves below.
Perched beside the free-form infinity pool on Railay Beach, this terrace restaurant serves up light, fresh fare and an array of cocktails made with fresh fruits. The open-air dining room has a relaxed vibe with crimson directors chairs pulled up to dark wood tables, and punctuated by riots of tropical flowers.
Intricate carvings of local marine life and a golden mural of dolphins pay homage to the hotel’s location next to a marine park. Days begin with wholesome open-air breakfasts of tropical fruits and juices and end with light salads accompanied by simply grilled beef or rich lobster.
Guests can watch the sunset from a table in the sand in this open-air restaurant nestled beneath an ancient limestone cliff on the edge of Phranang Beach. Several times a week, guests can live out their castaway fantasies with freshly grilled seafood dinners served by the flickering light of hurricane lanterns from a thatched hut.
