The Tubkaak Krabi Boutique Resort ★★★★★

Swaying in a hammock watching the crystal-blue waters of the Andaman Sea lap the pristine beach’s golden sands in the shade of an exotic palm - it certainly doesn’t get any more paradisiacal than southern Thailand! Encapsulating the country’s magnetic charm, nestled in Krabi’s flourishing landscape, The Tubkaak Krabi Boutique Resort ***** is lover’s paradise.

Each of the boutique hotel’s villas has an authentic curved roof and features coconut and teak wood detailing to blend harmoniously with the untouched natural surroundings. The elegant rooms inside are wonderfully spacious and bright, radiating an air of Zen; whilst each individually decorated, they encompass quality furnishings, soothing natural colour palettes and impeccable details, and are finished with delicate local design touches.

Continuing the ultimate relaxation, L’Escape Spa, combining authenticity and ancestral tradition, is not to be missed! The impressive wooden building with views of the open clear-blue sky is just waiting to cocoon you from the toils and troubles of modern day life. Let your stresses float away on the tropical scented breeze with a revitalising treatment; blending Oriental and traditional Thai therapeutic healing, the skilled therapists use the finest quality natural ingredients to guarantee unadulterated wellbeing.

Soak in the azure outdoor pool encircled by exotic palms, wander the golden stretch of beach boasting breath-taking views of the 13 islands archipelago rising majestically from the glistening Andaman Sea, or take home a taste of Thailand with the luxury hotel’s Thai cookery classes.

There is no better way to conclude your day in Thai paradise than dining at The Arundina on the bucolic beachfront, looking out over the impressive Krabi seascape; where guests are invited to indulge in classic Thai dishes using only the freshest produce under the stars, or enjoy a carefully crafted cocktail at happy hour on the chic upper deck commanding unrestricted sunset views. Alternatively, Di Mare takes inspiration from the Andaman Sea, yet combines it with the flavours of Italian cuisine; enjoy fresh caught seafood or typically Italian dishes in the unbeatable setting adjacent to an idyllic lotus pond…heaven on earth!
