The setting for this award-winning Thai hideaway is just about as tropical screen-saver as you can ever imagine; with limestone cliffs and palm trees juxtaposed against white sand and the warm blues of the Andaman Sea. Thanks to the location, adjacent to Krabi Marine National Park, you'll find no end of excuses to stroll and soak up the scenery with beautiful gardens, coconut groves and faraway islands helping to pleasure all of your senses. Rayavadee's award-winning architecture also pays homage to the surrounding environment and local culture with an arrangement of exceptional guest pavilions presenting an authentic and calming Thai village ambience. What with the sights and sounds of Thailand fulfilling your wildest dreams it almost seems greedy to wish for anything more although, as you're on holiday, dining out is always an extra treat that's not to be missed. Five-star grills, signature dishes, romantic settings and sunset views, from underneath a limestone cliff, are what you have to look forward to and if you're expecting rice with everything then be prepared to fully increase your expectations. No trip to Thailand would be complete without a trip to the spa and as Rayavadee offers an extensive range of tailor-made packages you're bound to find the right blend of beauty, pampering and spiritual relaxation to suit your every mood. It's no surprise that Rayavadee has won a plethora of awards with Best Hotel in the World, Certificates of Excellence and The Royal Gold Medal for Environmentally-conscious Architecture all helping you get a feel for things to come.

We stayed for 4 nights in May 2024 and everything about the property is excellent. You need a private transfer to get to the property.From the moment we checked in the staff were fantastic and nothing was too much work for them. We stayed in a deluxe pavilion room and it was huge for a couple and had fresh fruits,cookies and chocolates daily. The property has a great pool which was warm and has a beautiful view of the sunset. The restaurants along the east and west beach were mostly full and a short walk down there are more shops and lots of restaurants to eat.It was a very relaxing stay celebrating my 40th birthday and they made me an amazing chocolate cake.Would love to come back here again sometime:)

The experience starts with a speed boat pick up which whisks you to the resort in C.15 minutes where you arrive on Nammao Beach.
We were checked in personally by Miw who was warm and friendly. We booked a deluxe pavillion room I think it was called with a lounge on the ground floor and large bedroom/ bathroom upstairs - modern, chic interiors.
The hotel setting is stunning, the grounds being very green set amongst a backdrop of limestone cliffs and prestine beaches - the grounds are nestled in-between 3 of them, Phranang being the prettiest, but the famous Railay coming in a close second.
The pool is amazing, just set in amongst the most amazing scenery. It's large and the temperature was perfect.
Altogether a great stay and would definitely visit again.

The Rayavadee was one of the best experiences we've ever had while traveling. We had two of the Deluxe Pavilion units, which were beautiful, with lots of space. The location in Railay Beach is perfect and the resort grounds are absolutely amazing. The breakfast buffet was incredibly delicious, and the staff could not have been more warm and helpful. I should also mention that transportation from the Krabi airport to the resort was all provided by the resort, and everything was very smooth and easy. We can't wait to return to Rayavadee as soon as possible.
