Rayavadee 

Enter a hidden paradise

This is the perfect resort for a romantic getaway surrounded by Krabi’s breathtaking natural beauty.

This one-of-a-kind resort on the Phranang Peninsula to the south of Thailand blends seamlessly with its stunning natural environment. Fringing three national marine park beaches and surrounded by 26 acres of coconut groves and tropical gardens, beautiful Rayavadee has panoramic views of emerald-green waters and dramatic cliffs. Even the beachfront swimming pool is like no other.

Why we love Rayavadee

  • It’s on the edge of Krabi Marine National Park, spread over 26 acres of rainforest where spectacled langur monkeys live

  • The rooms are in individual two-storey pavilions scattered throughout the grounds, so they feel wonderfully private

  • You can dine beside the sea, overlooking the infinity pool or, most memorably, under an ancient limestone cliff

  • There’s a host of activities for two, from speedboat trips to remote islands to hikes along local nature trails

The resort has a choice of four restaurants, ranging from innovative five-star cuisine at Raya Dining to classic Thai dishes served beside the sea at Krua Phranang. The Raitalay Terrace is open for lunch and dinner and serves a wide range of international dishes to the beautiful backdrop of Railay Beach. The Grotto is a firm favourite – a unique dining venue underneath an ancient limestone cliff with barbecue nights.

Rayavadee was built sensitively to its natural surroundings. As well as beach cleaning and mangrove planting, it created the Enlive Foundation working with local communities to protect the environment through managing waste disposal, noise pollution and reef degradation. Locally sourced and organic ingredients are used in the restaurants and organic forest coffee is served.

Rayavadee's Just for Kids programme looks after children from the ages of 4 to 12. Activities include children's tennis, Thai cooking and a discovery walk through the gardens.

Babysitting services can also be arranged.
