Local Attractions

Three can’t-miss attractions are all within a 30-minute drive of the resort:

• Railay Beach: Just a 15-minute longtail boat ride from Ao Nang, Railay is world-famous for its towering limestone cliffs, powdery white sand, and crystal-clear turquoise water. Cut off from the mainland by cliffs, it retains a secluded, dreamy atmosphere perfect for rock climbing, sunbathing, or swimming.
• Emerald Pool & Hot Spring: Located 40 minutes from the resort in Krabi’s Khao Phra Bang Khram Nature Reserve, this natural emerald-hued swimming hole is surrounded by lush rainforest. After a short jungle hike to the pool, you can soak in the warm, mineral-rich waters and visit the nearby natural hot springs for a relaxing dip.
• Tiger Cave Temple: A 25-minute drive inland, this iconic Buddhist temple sits atop a 1,237-step staircase with panoramic views of the Krabi countryside and surrounding karsts. The climb is challenging, but the sweeping views and serene temple grounds make it well worth the effort.

Travel Tips

Book the resort’s paid airport shuttle in advance for a stress-free transfer from Krabi International Airport, just 40 minutes away. Pack reef-safe sunscreen and water shoes for day trips to the nearby islands and rock climbing sites. Ask the on-site tour desk to arrange longtail boat trips to the Phi Phi Islands, which depart directly from Ao Nang Beach five minutes from the resort. For the best rates, book your stay three to four months in advance during peak season (November to March), when Krabi’s dry, sunny weather draws the most visitors.
