Banyan Tree Krabi Luxury Hotel, Thailand

Banyan Tree Krabi is the only all-pool villa resort in Krabi. Every single one of its suites and villas comes with a private pool and jet pool on the balcony, ensuring you can (literally) soak up the province's finest views. Depending on the room category you pick, the pools can dominate your balcony or even wrap around three sides of your villa.

The rooms themselves are adorned with neutral colours, with white walls, cream fabrics and brightly coloured pillows in teal, silver and blue, while the ceilings are a combination of bleached wood and dark beams. The legend of the naga has inspired the wavy panelled walls and scaly wallpaper, bathrooms and carpets to add a sense of place to these elegant hideaways. 

Home to three restaurants, it's no surprise you can savour those dreamy Phang Nga Bay views from each one at Banyan Tree Krabi.

The Naga Kitchen, named after Krabi's infamous serpentine, is the resort's premier all-day dining venue and focuses on a rich mix of international specialities. But the real 'wow' factor belongs to Saffron, Banyan Tree Krabi's signature restaurant. Accessible only by a funicular, Saffron reimagines expert cooking techniques from across Southeast Asia to whip up Thai dishes in a wonderful jungle-fringed pavilion. For something truly special, it's 'bird's nest' private tables are perched high up in the trees with panoramic vistas of glittering Phang Nga Bay.

Overlooking the Andaman Sea, the Kredkaew Bar serves Mediterranean cuisine with a large side of tranquil ambience.

This incredible location is one you'll be itching to explore from the moment you arrive. There's snorkelling, stand-up paddleboarding and sailing if you want to get a bit closer to the Andaman Sea and its gorgeous limestone karsts, while half-day tours take you to nearby islands to witness local life and discover hidden corners you can call your own.

Back at the resort, the concierge at Banyan tree Krabi are very helpful with suggestions of jungle hikes you can undertake in the surrounding rainforest (with or without a guide) and once you've built up an appetite, you can conjure up your own tasty meals with a chef-led cooking class.
