Rayavadee is situated in the heart of Krabi's beautiful Phranang Peninsula on the border of Krabi Marine National Park, an area renowned for its natural beauty and rich flora, fauna and marine life. When the resort was built more than two decades ago, it was with the idea of living in balance within this unique environment. The accommodation was constructed to nestle in between the property's many trees, none of which were cut during the process, in order to blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings. With the resort's low-key approach to building, the habitat of the area's many varieties of birds and animals was not disturbed. In addition, we employ a number of practices to reduce the negative impact on our surroundings with a focus on sustainable water and waste management as well as energy efficiency.

Rayavadee Krabi is a true 5-star resort, offering exceptional service and a location that feels like paradise. Accessible only by boat, the resort provides a unique sense of privacy and tranquility. Spread over 50 rai, the property connects three stunning beaches, including a boat-free zone perfect for swimming and sunbathing. The two-story pavilions are beautifully designed with separate living areas and full amenities (though a few more drying racks would be a great addition!). The staff are the highlight here—incredibly attentive, friendly, and proactive. From keeping the room spotless to offering off-menu dishes at breakfast, their hospitality is truly world-class. The common facilities are breathtaking, especially the main pool with its stunning view of the cliffs and sea. While The Grotto is iconic and beautiful, it can get a bit lively and noisy when families with children are present. Regarding dining, the flavors across all restaurants are thoughtfully prepared with a mild, international palate to cater to global travelers. While the dishes are high-quality, those who prefer authentic, bold Thai spice might find them a bit subtle. Fortunately, there is a walking street right next to the resort with local bars and eateries for more variety. Despite the premium price point for rooms and private tours, the overall luxury and serene experience make it worth every baht.

Rayavadee is the most wonderful place for us: we have been visiting the resort for 16 years and it is like seeing family every time. The staff, led by GM Chumpol, assisted by Romain are all consistently excellent. The service is authentic, friendly, professional. We have never experienced anything less than ‘a slice of Heaven’ here. A great place to recharge your batteries in beautiful, natural surroundings. Can’t wait to go back again.

We had an exceptional stay at Rayavadee Krabi. From the moment we arrived, everything was handled with warmth, professionalism, and genuine care. The atmosphere, service, and overall experience exceeded our expectations. A very special thanks to Khun Pimol and the entire team — everyone was truly amazing. Their attention to detail and dedication made our stay incredibly memorable. We felt very well taken care of throughout and cannot wait to return again.

We went there for wedding celebrations and it was so unique and exquisite...The beach was so nice, the hospitality was beyond exceptional. The Staff was so polite. The Venues were so beautiful and unique. The room was sooo Pretty. Such a Unique Room and the amenities too. Very Clean. You could hear Nature everywhere , Birds, crickets, frogs etc. Pure indulgence , a bit expensive , but then we realized why it is expensive....Because the experience is extraordinary. The breakfast and other meals in the hotel had a good variety of food. The property is beautiful in the lap of nature with monkey enjoying as well. We loved walking from one venue to another. We would love to go back there for at least 5 nights....As this time was a short trip of just 2 nights.

We stayed at Rayavadee in April 2026 for 4 nights to celebrate our 9th year anniversary and everything was so perfect! We arrived at the private pier at 8.15 am. The speedboat transfer was comfortable, with sparkling water served on board. Upon arrival, the manager came to greet us. As we arrived early, the room wasn’t ready but we were invited to have breakfast while waiting. This was such a nice touch as we drove in from Phuket. The food is absolutely amazing!!! One of the highlights. They have breakfast with a light buffet selection of quality items with champagne and the rest is available from the dining menu. I really enjoyed the full english breakfast with thai iced tea every morning. The front desk and housekeeping department expedited my check in, Khun Oil then came to breakfast to escort me to my room. The room was so quiet, with lots of nature around. The bed was super comfortable and i slept really well. The surprises started! We had flowers and a fresh fruit basket in the room to congratulate us on our anniversary. Within 10 mins, my luggage arrived and they set up everything i needed, such as extra pillows and a coffee machine. I have sensitive skin and got a few mosquito bites (understandably as we are in a forested area) and i asked khun Oil for a mosquito coil. She communicated so quickly to the housekeeping team. Within 10 mins, housekeeping supervisor Khun Dern came and put mosquito coils outside, a mosquito net, electric repellent in the room, and even gave me anti itch cream for the bites. I didnt expect such personalised service from Khun Oil and Khun Dern. Khun Oil also managed to get us a restaurant reservation at The Grotto the same night (i didnt know it needed to be made usually a week before arrival). She personally came to the room to take my order swiftly (as food is organised prior to ensure no wastage), make recommendations and organised a lovely table for us! Khun Chakri welcomed us, provided complimentary champagne, flowers with a lovely card from Khun Oil for us. The food was again spectacular. The King crab starters and the seafood platter for two is highly recommended - it came with lobsters, hokkaido scallops, fish, tiger prawns, calamari, enough to feed at least 3 people, and we barely had space for dessert! Views were amazing. The staff were fantastic at taking the best pictures! Communication was also really good. By day 2 they remembered my name and breakfast drink order and would serve this as soon as i sat down. When i called reception for the hotel buggy, they would ask where i was going and when the driver arrived, he would know exactly where to go. Day 2 evening - Khun Nucharee the front office manager told us to pack our bags as we were being upgraded to a pool pavillion in the morning! So unexpected and delightful. The pool pavillion was close to the grotto, very private and lovely in the balmy evenings. It has a private patio, rain shower and jacuzzi too. Another lovely surprise - the Rayavadee boutique. It has really nice stuff. I bought 3 pairs of jade and ruby earrings and 2 jade bracelets by a local thai designer, and gosh they were all so pretty. Just see the pictures! In these 4 days we also managed to get a 75 min royal siam massage at the spa - it was fully booked for the first 2 days so book in advance! I also loved the choice of eucalyptus or lavender oil - both really nice. We also selected singing bowls for meditation. The rooms were so clean and beds were made twice a day. And i love the peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies a lot. Khun Noom (the GM) and Khun Romain (the resident manager) were so kind and warm. Thank you to the entire Rayavadee team for such a memorable 9th year anniversary celebration!
