Hotel Information

First impressions count, and at Krabi hotel Phulay Bay, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, on the spectacular Andaman Sea, initial expectations are well and truly met. From the stunning, aubergine-walled courtyard to the grand villas – light, airy temples to indulgence, with huge four-metre wide beds, outdoor bathing areas, plunge pools and Lanna art – the details here are exquisite.

At the hotel
Spa, gym, 24-hour personalised butler service, library, DVD library, free WiFi throughout, valet parking. In rooms: TV and DVD player, CD player, iPod dock, Wii gaming console, Panpuri toiletries.

Our favourite rooms
For an unobstructed view of the islands and an infinity-style plunge pool there’s no topping room 30, the Royal Andaman Sea Villa. Equally impressive is its sensational outdoor bath, set within its own pond. Talk about water, water everywhere… But that is the top of the range. The Ocean Pavilions aren’t quite as grand, but they do have private rooftop sundecks with views of the ocean.

Poolside
Set back from the ocean, the sizable infinity pool has two levels, the higher one trickling into the one below. Take up your position on a timber sunlounger or covered day-bed. Throughout the day, staff move around discreetly, topping up iced water, offering refreshing fruit kebabs and polishing guests’ sunglasses. If you want something stronger than water, there’s even a swim-up bar.

Children
The whole family is welcome. Free baby cots can be popped into rooms; extra beds are charged for over 11s. There’s a full Phulay Baby programme to keep junior Smiths amused.
