Three bedroom Platinum Pool Villa Smooth as Silk

The whole property is let as one villa and accommodates one group at a time. Air conditioning, a private pool, a kitchen and a hot tub come with the house.

The villa measures 110 m², sleeps up to six guests and has a garden view. Its bathroom has a walk-in shower, bathrobes and a hair dryer, and a balcony or terrace opens outside.

The villa has its own private pool, a hot tub and a fully equipped fitness centre with workout equipment. For meals, the kitchen comes with basics such as cookware, oils and condiments, and there is a BBQ grill, plus coffee or tea.

Inside the house there is air conditioning, a washer, a microwave, a refrigerator, an iron, a hair dryer and a sound system. Video streaming services and cable channels are also available on the TV.

A crib or baby cot and a high chair are available for younger guests, and the house has a private entrance. Outside, a garden or backyard and a balcony or terrace complete the grounds, with free parking on site.

Ao Nang is a busy beach town on the Andaman coast of Krabi province, built along a bay of sand with limestone cliffs rising nearby. The roads near the beach fill with tour offices, shops and street stalls, so the evenings are lively, while the villa's own grounds stay quiet and private. Boats leave from the piers along the bay for the islands and for the cliffs of Railay.

Noppharathara Beach is the nearest beach, 1.5 km from the villa, and the Ao Nang Night Market is 1.3 km away. Ao Nang Beach is a little further along the bay, while Railay, reached mainly by longtail boat from Ao Nang, is 4.6 km away with cliffs and beaches that draw day-trippers. Krabi International Airport is 18.4 km away, and Tiger Cave Temple (Wat Tham Suea) is 14 km away, with a long staircase up the hillside to its shrines.

A good day starts with a longtail boat from the pier to Railay, or to the islands of Poda and Tup, then back to the villa for the private pool in the evening. The Hong Islands are usually a day trip by boat from the same pier. In the rainy months, rough seas can stop the boats, so the day trips may not run.
