Originating from the Thai language, Rayavadee means ”Land of The Princess”. Since its opening in 1993, the resort has been hosting global guests for over 30 years, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to sustainable development. This dedication has earned it a worldclass reputation and quality proven by time.

Nestled within the pristine coconut groves of Krabi‘s Phranang Peninsula on the border of Krabi Marine National Park, Rayavadee is graced with three white sand beaches: Phra Nang, Railay, and Nam Mao, all basking in the emerald waters of the Andaman Sea. The majestic limestone cliffs, appearing to rise vertically from the sea, bestow upon Rayavadee a natural landscape like nowhere else in the world.

Accessible only via a 20minute boat journey along the picturesque coastline, Rayavadee is a true hidden gem, secluded from the hustle and bustle.

Live in the Untouched Tropical Garden 

Rayavadee‘s 94 twostory pavilions and 7 luxurious villas are scattered throughout lush tropical gardens and coconut groves, with a leisurely stroll leading to the sandy beaches. These villas are uniquely tropical, inspired by the charming southern Thai villages, with their rounded shapes echoing the local rock formations.

The interior design features Thaistyle decor, adorned with polished wood, vibrant textiles, and exquisite handicrafts, equipped with comprehensive modern amenities. The pavilions starts at 90 square meters, with upgraded ones offering private terraces or private pools, and family pavilions and villas ranging from 137 to 345 square meters. The most spacious villa extends to 417 square meters.

Since its inception, Rayavadee has adhered to an ecological philosophy of coexistence with nature. Not a single tree was cut during the construction of the accommodation. The resort implements various measures for water resource and waste recycling, minimizing the impact of its operations on the natural environment.

The rewards of nature are priceless. Rayavadee has specially made a garden walk map, allowing guests to stroll through the resort grounds with more than 120 types of plants and tropical trees. No visit would be complete without at least one sighting of the delightful Spectacled Langurs or the families of Macaque monkeys that inhabit the nearby cliffs.

Diverse Adventurous and Culinary Delight

Rayavadee‘s vacation experience is rich and diverse. Whether you‘re looking to quietly admire the seaside sunset or spending the day on one of the luxurious speedboats visiting Phi Phi Island or Phang Nga Bay, the beautiful coastal scenery are unforgettable.

Guests can kayak through pristine mangrove forests or ride elephants to view the Krabi landscape; scale a rock wall with private rock climbing instruction, or hike nature trails to a waterfall; explore the mysterious caves nearby, or embark on a diving trip on a private dive boat.

Rayavadee‘s four distinctive restaurants select fresh local ingredients to create authentic Eastern and Western cuisines. The elegant Raya Dining offers a global flavor with a healthy and abundant breakfast and a creative barbecue dinner featuring Thai and Western styles; the romantic Thai restaurant, Krua Phranang, offers a rich menu including curries, salads, soups, seafood, and freshly caught fish; the beachside Raitalay Terrace, adjacent to the infinity pool, serves Asian light cuisine and a variety of cocktails.
