Rayavadee

Krabi, Thailand

Where jungle meets sea and family adventure unfolds beneath the limestone cliffs

At a glance

Embraced by two white-sand beaches and a third sheltered cove, all framed by towering limestone cliffs on the edge of Krabi’s Marine National Park, Rayavadee is one of Thailand’s most iconic resorts. Accessible only by boat, it feels like a world apart — where rainforest meets reef and families can reconnect surrounded by natural beauty.

Nestled in 26 acres of tropical gardens, Rayavadee blends Thai village-inspired architecture with world-class service and a deep respect for the surrounding ecosystem. Whether kayaking through mangroves, exploring nearby islands, or dining in a cave by the sea, every experience celebrates the magic of southern Thailand.
