Location & what to see
Railay is a limestone peninsula on the Andaman coast of Krabi province, with beaches on both sides and cliffs rising behind them. The hotel sits on the hillsides of Railay Beach, and getting in and out of the peninsula is by boat. It is a setting for travellers who want the sea, the cliffs and the caves close at hand.
Phra Nang Cave is 1.1 km away, and Ao Nang Beach, the mainland beach town, is 2.3 km away. Poda Island, 5.5 km away, has its own beach and is reached by boat, while Tiger Cave Temple (Wat Tham Suea), 15.2 km away, is a hillside temple that draws visitors. Getting around the peninsula is on foot, and its piers link to the boats for the mainland and the islands.
A good day could start with a morning canoe trip or hike on the peninsula, followed by a boat trip to Poda Island and an afternoon on the sun terrace or the beach. Climbing is another draw, with climbing schools operating along the cliffs of the peninsula. The Krabi Weekend Night Market makes an evening option after a day on the water, and it is 9.8 km from the hotel.
