Phranang Peninsula · Krabi · Thailand
Rayavadee
A remarkable retreat hidden between jungle, limestone cliffs and the warm waters of the Andaman Sea.
94 pavilions
7 private villas
26 tropical acres
Why we recommend it
One of Thailand's most extraordinary natural settings
Rayavadee occupies an exceptional position at the tip of Krabi's Phranang Peninsula, surrounded by jungle-topped limestone cliffs and within easy walking distance of both Railay and Phranang beaches.
Arriving by boat immediately sets the tone. Inside the resort, two-storey pavilions are scattered through coconut groves rather than arranged as a conventional hotel, while the surrounding sea, islands and dramatic landscape invite exploration.
“Choose Rayavadee when the setting matters as much as the hotel. Few resorts bring together such dramatic scenery, distinctive accommodation and direct access to Krabi's coast.”

Our planning notes
Arrival is by boat. We will coordinate the road and boat transfers with your flights so that the journey into the peninsula feels seamless.
The resort is extensive. Pavilions are spread through twenty-six acres, so we will discuss location and accommodation style before making a recommendation.
Nature is part of the experience. The grounds support local wildlife, including spectacled langurs, and the surrounding marine park is environmentally sensitive.
Current arrangements are checked. Dining venues, excursions and seasonal operating details will be reconfirmed when we prepare your quotation.
