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.

The most beautiful people we’ve met. We are so grateful for the beautiful Thai hospitality. We stayed with our 5 year old. The staff treated her like a rock star. A team member was also named Zara.. it was beautiful to watch our child’s connection with her name sake as a few of the team made a fuss over our little one and the coincidence of the same name. The service meant you literally did not have to lift a finger. We wish we could thank everyone individually because each person really deserves a specific mention. Even walking on and off the beach, the security person was ready to jump in as our little one precariously changed direction on the steps. I can’t express how kind and attentive the service was. Hym who checked us in walked hand in hand with our daughter, Yah kept our room beautifully clean, fresh and neat. Matti was working in the restaurant, our little one grazed her leg and Matti came running with antiseptic, bandaids and sympathetic nursing that cheered up our little one. I had left a hat in a pool towel.. Sam tracked us down to return it.. before we even realised! Smil ran the kids activities and played with the children so beautifully. The general manager, the Nurse, Pak and the French gentleman overseeing the resort.. professional, personal and incredibly thoughtful. They have thought of everything down to a waterproof bag to put your phone in to take it kayaking.. a little mini bag for your room card. People work non stop keeping the resort grounds a prefect tropical oasis. The garden of a night reminded us of the movie Avatar. It was magical. We enjoyed the gardens but I really mean it… what we loved was the people. The entire staff group are hard working, kind and attentive. It felt as though management were integrated into the day to day functions. Often management can be disconnected, we felt management cared and were present. We really felt the team truly love showing us the very best of Thai hospitality. We wanted thank the team for looking after us so beautifully ~ thank you 🙏🏻

My husband and I stayed here for 6 nights. Because of the private boat transfer we assumed the resort was private unfortunately the hotel is but the beach was like Piccadilly Circus. Extremely busy. Be aware all beaches in Thailand are public.

This resort is beautifully situated among verdant greenery, beautiful rock formations and 3 gorgeous accessible beaches. The food quality and variety is excellent. But what sets Rayavadee apart from other 5 star resorts is the service. The employees are always accommodating and helpful. In particular, Luna, who greeted us upon arrival and a tremendous help throughout our stay made us feel much more than a guest. She was warm and caring and made us feel immediately at home.

There is honestly no way to describe Rayavadee in words, but I will try. Ultimate paradise, unparalleled service, and the most beautiful location I have ever seen with my own eyes. We stayed here for 5 days in December and I could not have dreamed up a better experience than the one we had at this resort. I get emotional at the possibility of never being able to return, truly depressed, so I have decided that when my fiancé & I get married, our honeymoon will most definitely be here. We were greeted with delicious welcome drinks & a large posterboard presentation of the whole property. Then we were driven to our cottage in a golf cart (the property is huge, very lush and green, and the paths immaculate). The cottages are perfectly nestled in the nature of the trees & plants and our cottage interior was beautifully designed & so pristine! On the living area table we were gifted with a bottle of champagne, cookies, and the sweetest note from the staff. The bed was amazing and the bath products smelled heavenly. On our walk to breakfast each day we would randomly see monkeys, monitor lizards, hornbill birds, and even a kitty cat! The resort breakfast was better than any I’ve had ANYWHERE!!! I could write a whole separate review for the French toast alone! (And also the boran coffee, and the huge selection of different fruit juices!!) It seemed as if every time we left our room, they came to service it. There were always fresh towels & rags even if we only left for an hour. They cleaned & organized everything and even the little things (like putting the hotel slippers right next to the bed) were just icing on the service cake. The pool in front of Railay Beach is huge and stunning with the cliffs surrounding it!! The beaches are beautiful (especially Phra Nang Cave Beach) with the limestone cliffs and the resort allowed us to use the kayaks every day for free. If you want to relax on a lounger, don’t even try to lay down your own towel because the staff will come take it right out of your hands to do it for you!!! As soon as you’re settled, they bring you ice cold water and snacks of dried veggies, peanuts, & banana chips! We had dinner at the Grotto one evening and it was perfection. The sunset view from our table was more gorgeous than any postcard in the world. My fiancé treated us to a couples massage at the spa and I have never in my life felt so pampered and spoiled. No detail was missed here - the rose petal bath with hot tea, the coolest monkey massage tables ever, the disposable underwear, just perfection everywhere. Rayavadee was the experience of a lifetime and I will never forget it as long as I live. Google only allows 5 stars but Rayavadee deserves a million. I cannot imagine anywhere more perfect, it's the most special place on earth.
