Attractions

Three unmissable local attractions are just a short drive or ride from the hotel:

• Ao Nang Beach: Just 10 minutes’ walk from the property, this soft-sand crescent is perfect for casual sunset swells, beachside Thai street food stalls, and longtail boat bookings to Krabi’s famous offshore islands.
• Railay Beach: A 15-minute longtail boat ride from Ao Nang, Railay’s dramatic limestone cliffs draw rock climbers and sun-seekers from across the globe, with four secluded beaches accessible only by boat and hidden sea caves to explore.
• Tiger Cave Temple (Wat Tham Suea): A 20-minute drive inland, this iconic hilltop temple rewards visitors who climb the 1,237 steps with panoramic views of Krabi’s karst-studded jungle and coastline, plus sacred Buddhist sites and roaming wild monkeys.

Travel Tips

Book the hotel’s paid airport transfer in advance for a hassle-free arrival after your flight into Krabi International Airport, around 30 minutes from the property. If you plan to explore inland attractions like Tiger Cave Temple or local hot springs, opt for the hotel’s paid car rental service, which is cheaper and more flexible than booking last-minute taxis. For travelers staying more than three nights, the kitchenette in each room is perfect for stocking up on fresh fruit and local snacks from the nearby Ao Nang night market, cutting down on daily meal costs. Don’t forget to book a paid massage at the hotel after a day of hiking or island hopping—it’s the perfect way to end your day in this tropical paradise.
