Railay Beach
Editor's Hotel Guide
The little island that isn't, Railay is a peninsula walled off
from the mainland by sheer cliffs which is only accessible by boat
(generally from Ao Nang or Krabi City).
The west and south coasts have the beaches; the east coast has
the mangroves and the nightlife. Footpaths gently twist to and fro,
so you're never more than a few minutes away from your destination.
Railay Beach Hotels
4 Star | Some Sea Views | Large Pool
| Great for Families
Occupies a swath of the peninsula touching both the east and west
coasts. 140 rooms of many different types (cottages, villas, standard
hotel-style), some offering luxuries like private pools, whirlpools,
and outdoor showers. Good for children.
3 Star | Lush Gardens | Dramatic Views
| Pool
Nice resort with 59 rooms surrounded by cliffs and trees in the
centre of the peninsula. Not on the beach, but Railay is small and
most things are only a short walk away.
3 Star | Bungalows | Intimate | Ideal
for Couples
One of the most popular resorts in Railay. The 28 bungalows come
in 2 different types: big and bigger. The latter features an outdoor
garden bathing area and upgraded furnishings. Located on the east
coast; dining options are close by, but swimmable beaches require
a short walk.
