Rayavadee Resort

Hotel details

Rayavadee resort sits like a jewel in the centre of stunning Phranang Peninsula on the edge of Krabi National Marine Park in Thailand. Accessible only by boat, this lush tropical hideaway is set amidst a backdrop of tropical gardens, sheer limestone cliffs and the clear waters of the Andaman Sea. Rayavadee has 101 individual pavilions and villas that offer guests total seclusion & comfort in this delightful paradise. Built between the boughs of coconut trees, these spacious pavilions resemble fairy tale cottages with their distinctive mushroom-shaped roofs. All of the two-storey accommodation are stylishly modern, with hardwood furniture, fine imported bed linens and touches that include satellite television, jacuzzis and terraces.

The Rayavadee is renowned for its excellent cuisine and rightly so. Guests can choose between four excellent eateries: ‘Raya Dining’ caters primarily to western palates with stylish five-star dining, while ‘Krua Phranang’ offers delectable Thai cuisine overlooking Phranang Beach. For lunch and light evening fare, the ‘Raitalay Terrace’ can be found by the pool, while the ‘Grotto’ offers a light menu in a spectacular limestone cavern, with sunset barbecues serve daily. Where possible, the resort uses local food, including seafood, seasonal fruits and Thai herbs grown on site.

This delightful island hideaway offers plenty to do besides enjoying the three white-sand beaches. Guests can enjoy a game of tennis or squash or indulge in a variety of treatments at the resort’s Thai spa. Excursions to the surrounding islands can be arranged aboard the resort’s own speedboats. Or best of all, simply enjoy the beauty and solitude of a hike through the resort’s 26-acre grounds.
