Best beaches for honeymoon

Railay Bay

Railay Beach consists of three parts: East Railay, West Railay and Phra Nang Cave Beach. The area is very small and can be walked over within half an hour. But it's famous for something. The sand quality of the West Railay is super good, and is the best place to see the sunset.

There are few sand beaches in the East Railay, mainly rock climbing. East Railay is known for its rock climbing in Asia. Cliff rock raises the wall from the beach. Looking from below, you will see many karst caves and climbers. As the beach can only be reached by long-tail boat, so there are naturally high quality sea water, European and American tourists rather than crowdy people.

Ao Nang is to Krabi what Patong is to Phuket. Ao Nang Beach is the busiest and most famous beach about 20 kilometers from Krabi Town, with modern living facilities and convenient location. Honeymooners who want a small town-like, lively and long vacation will like Ao Nang Beach.

Pick a perfect hotel for honeymoon

Considering the picturesque surroundings and exquisite beaches in Krabi, we suggest you spend more on beachfront location as well as excellent on-site facilities rather than brand or hotel star.

Rayavadee

Rayavadee is a truly beautiful honeymoon resort. It's setting on the edge of Krabi's National Marine Park at the heart of the stunning Phranang Peninsula perfectly blends lush green jungle, limestone cliffs, white sand beaches and the emerald waters of the Andaman Sea. The resort's award winning architecture and tropical landscapes were inspired by the atmosphere of a southern Thai village.

The restaurant of Rayavadee – Grotto nestles under an ancient limestone cliff on the edge of beautiful Phranang Beach. Enjoy a magic of a perfect sunset as you have a romantic light snacks with soft sand underfoot.

Centara Grand Beach Resort & Villas Krabi

Ao Nang is not the obvious choice for a romantic break. Setting on Ao Nang Beach, Centara Grand Beach Resort is not the obvious choice for romantic seclusion, but still a good choice for couples who like being sufficiently central shopping and nightlife location - and any other - keeping quiet in a noisy neighborhood. We choose this because of its unique architectural style, elegant environment, magical location (ringed by cliffs, lagoons and swaying palm trees on three sides) and outstanding service for honeymoon.
