Ancora Y&W Boutique Hotel is in Ao Nang, the beach town on the Krabi mainland that is the usual starting point for boat trips to the islands and to the limestone cliffs along the coast. Ao Nang sits on a curved bay backed by karst hills, and the area is lively, with street-food stalls, massage shops and tour desks along the roads. Several Muay Thai gyms are in the area, so training sessions are easy to find.

Ao Nang Beach is 2 km away, and Railay Beach, reached by longtail boat, is 3 km away, with its limestone cliffs and Phra Nang Cave. Closer by, the Mountain Buddha Temple is a pagoda 750 m away, and the Weekend Market, 1 km away, sells food and local goods. Tup Island and Poda Island are boat trips from Ao Nang, and the Tiger Cave Temple (Wat Tham Suea), 13.3 km away, is a hillside temple reached by a long staircase.

A good day starts with a longtail boat from the Ao Nang pier to Railay, with time for the cliffs and Phra Nang Cave, and ends with an evening back in Ao Nang on the beach road. Boat trips to the islands can be disrupted when the sea is rough in the rainy months.
