The Apex private pool villa Krabi

The Apex private pool villa Krabi is built around villas that each come with a private pool, in layouts from one-bedroom villas to two-bedroom villas and connecting villas with two private pools. Some villas look out over the mountains and others over the pool, and several have a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with a shower.

Bed set-ups vary from one villa to another, so check the arrangement for the villa you choose. Several villas have a whirlpool bathtub or a Jacuzzi, and the connecting villas sleep up to fourteen guests. Some villas have a pool view and others a mountain view, so the view depends on the villa you book.

The property has an outdoor swimming pool and an indoor swimming pool, along with a hot tub and a garden. Free WiFi is available in all rooms, and there is a bar, room service and a kitchen. Free parking is available on site, and there is also parking nearby.

Other services include an airport transfer, car hire, a shuttle service, taxi service and tours, along with daily housekeeping, laundry service, ironing service and dry cleaning. BBQ facilities and grocery delivery are also offered, and guests can use the safety deposit boxes and ticket services. Express check-in and check-out are available too, and daily housekeeping and an ironing service are offered.

The villa is in Krabi-Khaothong, in the Ban Sai Thai area of Krabi on the Andaman coast of southern Thailand. Ban Sai Thai is a village, so the surroundings are mostly village houses and temples, and the setting is quieter than the main beach strips of the province. The beaches of Ao Nang and Railay are the best-known ones near the villa, and both are the main beach destinations in this part of Krabi.

Tiger Cave Temple (Wat Tham Suea) sits on a hill 8.6 km away, with a long flight of steps leading up to the Buddhist temple. Ao Nang Beach is 6.9 km away, a busy beach strip with longtail boats, while Railay Beach, 7.9 km away, is reached only by longtail boat and has limestone cliffs. Krabi International Airport is 13.6 km away, and the Krabi Bus Terminal serves the wider province.

For a day out, the boat trip to Poda Island, 13 km away, offers beaches and snorkelling, and Phra Nang Cave, the cave beach on the Railay peninsula, is one of the best-known stops in the area. The Krabi Weekend Night Market is a good option for a weekend evening, when the stalls are open and the town is busiest.
