Most travelers who visit Krabi, or other destinations, usually look for hotels in the city center, and we completely understand why. However, Krabi is special because of its diverse and unique landscape, and we highly recommend exploring areas just outside the main tourist zones.
Please consider the following three hotels. They offer beautiful views, a more private and peaceful experience, spacious surroundings, and great locations – while still being only a few minutes away from the town center.
Beyond the beautiful beaches of Krabi, which we are sure you will visit during the day through easy transfers from Railay or island-hopping trips to nearby beaches, it is truly worth taking a few minutes inland to experience the natural beauty of this area.
The following hotels have been personally tested by us and are suitable for all types of holidays, whether you are on a honeymoon, traveling as a couple, or visiting with family.
All three hotels are only a few minutes from the beach and offer free shuttle service from Ao Nang to the main beach throughout most of the day. The roads leading to these hotels are scenic and easy to access, and most importantly, the experience you will have here allows you to truly feel the real beauty of Krabi.
1.Anana Ecological Resort
Anana Ecological Resort Krabi is one of the most unique and beautiful hotels in this area. It is located about a 4-minute drive from Ao Nang Beach and is surrounded by stunning mountain views and plenty of green space. The resort features a modern Scandinavian design and a peaceful eco-style atmosphere.
The hotel offers an ecological garden, organic farm-to-table dining, and a high level of service. It is well invested and thoughtfully designed, with a stylish pool bar and a separate swimming pool for families with children. From the moment you enter the lobby, you feel relaxed and know that your holiday has truly begun.
2.Infinity Ao Nang Krabi
Infinity Ao Nang Krabi Just a few minutes in the other direction from Ao Nang, you will find Infinity Ao Nang, a beautiful and unique hotel that we discovered not long ago. As the name suggests, every step inside feels like entering a different world, with wide open spaces, soft colors, and a calm, dreamy atmosphere. The beautifully designed swimming pool, spacious and very luxurious rooms, friendly and charming staff, and romantic sunset dinners by the high infinity pool all come together to create a truly special experience surrounded by nature.
The hotel offers a variety of room types, suitable for all kinds of travelers, from couples to families. We especially love the Junior Suites and the Family Rooms. It is clear that the hotel has carefully thought about both guest privacy and comfort, providing all the facilities needed for a relaxing and memorable holiday.
3. Andakiri Pool Villa with Panoramic Sea View
Andakiri Pool Villa Just a few minutes further up the hill, you will find Andakiri Pool Villa, a luxurious and truly unique hotel with stunning views of Krabi’s limestone cliffs and the sea. This hotel is considered one of the most successful hillside resorts in the area, thanks to its breathtaking location and peaceful atmosphere.
Andakiri offers infinity pool villas and spacious rooms designed in a slightly modern Thai style, along with full, attentive service. When traveling by boat to nearby islands, you will often see this hotel shining on the mountain. And if you do, you will likely find yourself wondering, “What is that place, and how can I get there?”
In summary, just a few minutes away from the busy center of Ao Nang, you will find beautiful hotels at great value, offering luxury facilities and truly stunning views of Krabi. Here, you can enjoy an authentic and refined Thai experience – exactly the kind of memorable stay you imagine when booking your trip.
