Curator’s statement
I still get chills thinking about my wedding last year at Rayavadee Resort in Krabi, Thailand. It was nothing short of a dream. Think towering limestone cliffs, emerald waters lapping at powdery beaches and a jungle-luxe resort seamlessly blending into the beauty of Railay Beach, which is located on a peninsula along the Andaman Sea. Now that some time has passed, I can't wait to go back and cannot imagine a better place for a honeymoon (or any romantic escape). If you’re looking for a paradise that feels both exclusive and adventurous, Rayavadee is where you’ll find it.

Why Rayavadee is the perfect honeymoon escape
Rayavadee isn’t just a resort — it’s an experience. Nestled on the edge of Krabi’s National Marine Park, the only way to reach this stunning property is by boat, making it feel like your own secluded island retreat. Once you step onto the shore, you’re surrounded by lush rainforest, hidden beaches and the kind of five-star luxury that makes you never want to leave.

Every detail at Rayavadee is designed for romance and relaxation. The freestanding pavilions and private pool villas give you the perfect mix of privacy and indulgence. Imagine waking up to the sound of tropical birds, sipping your morning coffee on a sun-drenched terrace or (if you're feeling extra luxurious) taking an afternoon dip in your private plunge pool. This isn’t your typical honeymoon resort. It’s a sanctuary designed to make you feel completely immersed in nature while being pampered with impeccable service.

Unique & unforgettable amenities
Rayavadee’s attention to detail is what makes it truly stand out. Here are some highlights that make this resort one of Thailand’s most incredible honeymoon spots:
The Grotto Restaurant: Picture dining under a centuries-old limestone cliff with your toes in the sand, the Andaman Sea just steps away. Their seafood barbecue nights are legendary!
Private beach access: With three stunning beaches (Railay, Phranang and Nammao), you’ll always have a secluded spot to watch the sunset.
Luxury pavilions & villas: Whether you opt for a Pool Pavilion or one of the ultra-private beachfront villas, every space feels like a hidden oasis.
Excursions & adventures: Kayak through mangroves, take a longtail boat to nearby islands or rock climb the famous limestone cliffs. If adventure is your love language, Rayavadee has you covered.
The Spa at Rayavadee: A must for honeymooners! Their couples’ treatments use natural Thai ingredients, making for a blissful way to unwind after a day of exploring.

A resort with a purpose: Sustainability & nature integration
One of the things I love most about Rayavadee is its commitment to sustainability. The resort was built to blend seamlessly with its natural surroundings, and the team takes serious measures to protect the local ecosystem. From using eco-friendly materials in their architecture to their efforts in marine conservation, staying here means supporting a property that values the beauty of Thailand as much as you do.
They’ve also minimized single-use plastics, used solar power where possible and worked closely with local communities to ensure ethical tourism. If sustainability is something you value in travel, Rayavadee is one of the best choices in Thailand.
