Krabi luxury – Five-star hotels and villas for an amazing milestone celebration

Krabi, located on Thailand’s southern west coast, looking out onto Phuket, is a magical province peppered with mangroves, sheer cliffs protruding out of emerald seas, tiny islands and paradise beaches. As such, it’s a wonderful choice to mark a special celebration, be it a wedding, milestone birthday, honeymoon, buddymoon or special anniversary. As well as breathtaking nature, it’s also home to some of Thailand’s most luxurious properties and has a lot to offer the LGBT+ luxury traveller seeking privacy and space.

For those who desire peace and quiet with all the amenities, Rayavadee is an excellent choice. It’s situated on Railay, a peninsula only accessible by boat, so is great if you’re looking to get away from it all with loved ones. Each secluded, duplex villa is designed like a traditional Thai dwelling and is surrounded by jungle foliage for the ultimate privacy. The grounds are a lush tropical garden that is beautifully landscaped. It also has access to three beaches and adventurous guests can take part in trekking and climbing expeditions.
