Railay Phutawan Resort, hotel in Railay Beach

Railay Phutawan Resort is located along Railay Beach in Krabi, surrounded by green mountains and the beautiful Andaman Sea. This tropical getaway enjoys easy access to the nearby islands.

This hotel has fabulous views and is out of the hustle and bustle of the east and west beaches but is only 10 minutes walk from the west beach. I stayed here with my teenage son for 5 nights. Our cottage was amongst the trees and was peaceful. The bed was comfortable and it was handy having a separate dressing room. It got quite hot, so needed the a/c on all the time. The terrace looked out into the jungle. The buffet breakfast had a lot of choice although sometimes a bit chaotic with things running out and not always being topped up in an organised way. The pool bar had great views and a good breeze and the food and cocktails there were excellent. The staff were friendly although most had limited English.

    Gorgeous location, absolutely stunning natural cliffs, rocky island outcroppings, warm aquamarine water. An old style beach town that is rare to find these days. Great diversity of restaurants, (the Indian food place was one of the best anywhere) cafes (mango sticky rice!), and local shops along 'walking street', fabulous to just lay on the beach, but hiking, rock climbing, scuba diving schools/rental equipment/excursions, are available for the more adventurous. A little difficult to get to (long tail or speedboat only) - which keeps it remote, peaceful and relaxed - no ridiculous night life, family friendly, local, easy going, picturesque peninsula on the Andaman Sea. We booked a group boat tour around PhiPhi islands - boat was delayed, then broke down in the middle of the Sea, luckily a passing boat provided a 'spare' propellor!!! PhiPhi island visit was just a lunch stop, and basically a huge cafeteria line with spaghetti and fried chicken, ugh. Snorkeling, boat diving, cave hiking, discovering empty beach coves along the way though, were all incredible. Visiting "The Beach" lagoon was picturesque, but incredibly overcrowded - no wonder they don't allow swimming in the lagoon. Toilet facilities on PhiPhi and The Beach were best left unvisited, unless absolutely necessary. The tour was 8/10, but the adventure of it all was 11/10. Railay is well worth a 3-4 day stay, some of our neighbors were staying 2weeks and longer over the new year's holiday. It's an absolutely beautiful, relatively undeveloped resort area, with great food, spectacular beach life, stunning views, and friendly and welcoming local people

    Fantastic staff in every area, room is spacious, beautiful and clean with a nice balcony. Food is delicious from room service and very quick. Love the location of resort ( check in is at east railway beach but our room was close to west Railay which they gave us a ride to- very much appreciated)

    This is not for anyone travelling with a disability.

    This is not for anyone travelling with a disability. Depending on the tide , will depend on where you are dropped off. The long tail drivers did not help at all getting off the boat or with luggage.Had we been at the other Quay life would have been easy. There was no one there to greet us and our hotel was on the other side of the island a long way to drag luggage.. This is a young person's resort the smell of weed is all over the island. The THAI people don't have the same attitude as elsewhere as they have a monopoly.

    The longer you stay, the more you discover.

    The longer you stay, the more you discover. Railay has a few hidden gems that are worth exploring. We discovered a few favourite spots for dinner, both in the walking street as well as in Railay East. The sunset on Railey West or the Phra Nang beach are breathtaking. We recommend hiking up to the viewpoint, and if you are brave climb down to the lagoon. We also enjoyed renting a kayak during the day, and do a night tour to see the bio-luminescent plankton. Worth noting: If you book a tour on Railay East, it is often quite a bit cheaper, and priced for backpackers who stay on this side of Railay. The tours themselves are typically of the same quality. The most buzz happens in the walking street between East and West Railay and on the West beach.

    The property was gorgeous and quiet.

    The property was gorgeous and quiet. The room was beautiful and the bathroom was exceptional. The pool was great too. The only downside was the beach itself - rough sand, not as beautiful as the other side of the island. So the hotel itseld was absolutely wonderful but the beach was not.

    One of the most beautiful places I have ever visited!

    One of the most beautiful places I have ever visited! We stayed for four nights and four days. I think without excursions, any longer would be too long but it truly is a getaway. One day we did the lagoon viewpoint hike and for avid nature fans and hikers, I would recommend this! It's a steep incline/scramble to get there, but the route provides you with ropes to pull yourself up. The viewpoint is stunning and when we hiked up this, wild monkeys climbed around us which was just an amazing experience. We did an island tour excursion where we visited the local island beaches during the evening and watched the sunset from one of the islands! This tour was one of the better ones we did whilst in Thailand. We explored each island on a longtail boat, which I would recommend, and we went snorkelling to see the beautiful aquatic life that surrounded the islands. We even snorkelled at night to see the luminescent plankton! There's an amazing bar/restaurant on the island called the treetop bar. The bar has the coolest atmosphere. Shoes off, beanbags, and live music! Very chilled atmosphere with a local singer who was great. I would visit here again in a heartbeat. A travellers paradise - would recommend.

    If you want to feel like you’re in a jungle this is an ideal place. The nature is amazing around this resort. Monkeys, lizards, all the birds, cockroaches, mini scorpions. It is an experience. Be aware that the rooms are on the hill, but in my opinions it makes this place even more special. The resort location is further from the central place than other hotels in Railay beach, but it’s easily accesable by foot (about 15-20 min to bars, cafes and shops). The staff really helpful, they helped to take the scorpio out of the room :)

    The room was huge, very comfortable and clean. The bed was enormous and comfy, I like the configuration of the bathroom (separate shower and toilet), the day bed on the balcony was great. The hotel staff were super helpful and friendly. The location is excellent. On Railay East, which is a little quieter than Railay West. Walking distance to Phra Nang Beach (the nicest of the beaches). Walking Street between Railay East and West is just behind the hotel (3 min walk so you don't get the noise of Walking Street at the hotel).

    the location is perfect, convenient to everything at East Railay and a 5min walk to walking street on West Railay. Much more authentic then many of the resorts on the island. we loved sitting at the restaurant balcony watching monkeys, longtail boats and surrounded by limestone cliffs. great food at the restaurant, room was perfect with good air conditioning and warm shower. the pool is small but all you need to cool off. above all the staff are exceptional. they did everything to accommodate us and made our trip a dream

    Incredible location and comfort. The breakfast is incredible and has lots of options for both Thai food and western-style breakfast. The staff was incredible and willing to help us arrange any activities or provide recommendations. The rooms are very comfortable and have everything you need for an unforgettable stay at Railay Beach. Next time I visit (and there will be a next time), the choice to return to Railay Phutawan is a no-brainer. Awesome place. Was like being in a dream for five days.

    Property location on Railay bay is optimal and beautiful to enjoy the space and surrounding islands. The resort transfer from Krabi is a must! Don’t get stuck dragging your luggage through the sand! Book the somewhat overpriced transfer, longtail to Railay bay east, then tractor from the water to the island then buggy around to reception on the west side. A good location to island hop, keep in mind the jellyfish are seasonal/ tidal.

    This resort was more upscale than we expected for the price. The room was big, nicely decorated and clean. The common area was pretty and lush. Breakfast included lots of options and there was a cappuccino machine, which is unusual in this part of Thailand. There was a singer in the evenings who was really good. The staff were very kind and friendly.

    It is right at the beautiful railay beach. The swimming pool is right by the beach and so is the dining breakfast area where you can have a magnificent view while having Breakfast. The villa has a private outdoor jacuzzi and deck chairs for sunbathing within our own courtyard. The hotel is also a short walk to the main dining and shopping lane.

    The hotel has entrance on both east and west side and the reception is close to the east side - good to know if you arrive to the east pier. I didnt realize this and walked all the way to the west side with my luggage, but the staff member kindly gave me a lift back to the reception and then back to my bungalow.

    This place was so cool to stay at!! It definitely has the most incredible views on Railay Beach. Just know it is on a hilltop so you will be getting your exercise in going up and down the stairs. Checked in down by the beach and then they brought us up to our room. We loved waking up to this view!!!

    Location was great, ten minutes walk to the West Railay Beach, very good restaurants nearby (Tree House, The Heart for example). We stayed for just one night to enjoy Railay, so for the money it was kind of OK, but if your standards are high, look elsewhere.
