Phulay Bay, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve  

On Krabi’s Tubkaek shoreline, this beachfront luxury resort sits within walking distance of Tubkaek Beach and close to Hong Island and Railay. It’s a beachfront, family-friendly hideaway that keeps you near Krabi’s famous sand and sea.

Fifty-four air-conditioned rooms blend modern luxe with private comfort. Expect pillowtop beds with down comforters, minibars, espresso makers, DVD players and private balconies or patios. Bathrooms feature separate tubs and showers with deep soaking tubs and rainfall showerheads — perfect for sea-breeze mornings and slow evenings.

A full-service spa offers massages, body treatments and facials. Stay active in the 24-hour health club or yoga/pilates studio, then cool off in the outdoor pool or warm up in the sauna. Concierge, gift shops, a library, picnic and barbecue areas, a diving club, a kids’ playroom and a complimentary beach shuttle keep things easy and entertaining. Complimentary wired and wireless internet is available property-wide.

There’s a 24-hour business center, complimentary wired internet access and express check-in. Meetings and events can use about 1,076 sq ft (100 m2) of conference space with a meeting room. Roundtrip airport shuttle is available for a surcharge and free valet parking is on site.

Choose from five on-site restaurants including Jampoon Restaurant, which serves Mediterranean cuisine, plus two bars and lounges. Sip at the beach bar or poolside bar, order 24-hour room service, or enjoy a buffet breakfast served daily from 6:30 AM to 11:00 AM for a fee.
