Rayavadee, Krabi, Thailand

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.

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.

Reminiscent of a Thai village, the two-storey pavilions and luxurious private villas are scattered throughout the grounds. Deluxe Pavilions have a circular design with an upstairs bedroom, while Terrace Pavilions have an outdoor area. Family Pavilions are recommended for groups and families – they have plenty of space with two bedrooms and a private pool.
