Guests rate the location highly at 8.3, and couples in particular score it 8.1 for a two-person trip.

Is this the resort for you?

Yes, if...

  • You want to wake up on the beach: the resort sits right on Railay East Beach, with West Railay, Phra Nang and Tonsai beaches all close by.
  • You like a pool and a view: there is an outdoor swimming pool set in tropical gardens, and several rooms have balconies with mountain views.
  • You enjoy Thai food on site: the Viewpoint Restaurant serves Thai dishes, Mediterranean cuisine and barbecue seafood.
  • You are travelling as a family or group: quadruple, triple and twin rooms sleep up to four guests.
  • You want good value by the Andaman Sea: fan-cooled and air-conditioned rooms cover a range of budgets, and couples rate the location 8.1.

Maybe not, if...

  • You need to arrive by car: the property is accessible only by boat, from Ao Nam Mao Pier or Ao Nang Beach, and offers no parking.
  • You would rather not leave a deposit: a refundable THB 500 cash damage deposit is collected on arrival and returned at check-out.
  • You expect to check in late at night: check-in is only from 14:00 to 22:00, so plan your boat transfer accordingly.
  • You want fully air-conditioned comfort at the lowest price: the cheapest rooms are fan-cooled rather than air-conditioned.

Location and what to see

Getting there

Railay Viewpoint Resort is on Railay East Beach in Krabi, on a peninsula that is cut off from the mainland by soaring limestone cliffs and can only be reached by boat. Most guests take a taxi to Ao Nam Mao Pier or to Ao Nang Beach and then a longtail boat or ferry across to Railay, a crossing of just a few minutes. The nearest major airport in the property's listing is Phuket International Airport, about 57 km away by road and boat. Once you arrive, the peninsula is compact and easy to explore on foot, with Railay East and West linked by a short path through the centre.

What to see

Railay is famous for its beaches and dramatic karst scenery. Railay East Beach lies right in front of the resort, while the postcard-perfect West Railay Beach is about 600 m across the peninsula. Phra Nang Beach, with its cave shrine, is roughly 900 m south, and Tonsai Beach — a favourite with rock climbers — about 1.1 km away. Inland, natural attractions such as the Blue Pool (Sa Morakot) and Huai To Waterfall at Khao Phanom Bencha sit a few kilometres from the coast. The limestone walls around Railay are world-renowned for rock climbing, and longtail boats make it easy to hop between the peninsula's beaches and hidden lagoons.

Railay (West) Beach — Postcard-perfect white-sand beach across the peninsula~600 m
