There is one thing everyone around us is doing when planning their next vacation. Thailand appears to be the season’s flavour with its visa-free entry extension for Indians. So, if Thailand is on your mind, but you want to escape the usual touristy trail, consider Krabi.

It offers a unique tranquillity and sophistication that resonates deeply with vacationers. Phulay Bay, the world’s first Ritz-Carlton Reserve, nestled on the shores of the Andaman Sea, brings the right amount of seclusion and perfect doses of uber luxury.

Phulay Bay is not just a hotel; it’s an experience where days transition smoothly into balmy evenings and indoor-outdoor boundaries blur. This 3-Michelin Keys resort, overlooking the limestone mountains emerging from the Sea, is designed to integrate and celebrate the natural environment. Just close your eyes, flung your flip-flops away, and soak in the mystical sounds. However, you will find yourself quickly tempted to explore this beautiful space that you will call home for a few days or a week.

Maybe You Arrive

The journey begins even before you set foot into the property. All you need to do is book your stay at Phulay Bay, and the resort’s experienced ambassadors and Personal Hosts will take care of the rest. We propose a series of transformative experiences through personalized communication before arrival. Every detail is curated unscripted based on your hobbies, interests, and tastes. The Personal Host executes the plan with stealth proficiency during your stay. Sounds fascinating?

A Ton Hong at Your Beck

As you enter the open-air Sala Srichan, the Thai architectural marvel that cleverly replaces conventional reception, you are assigned a personal butler or Ton Hong. Be it a romantic beach barbeque or a spa reservation, they will ensure you enjoy without any logistical hassles. They know the resort, the destination, and the cultural nuances as the back of your hand.

What Suite Dreams Are Made of

This 77-key resort has freestanding Thai-style villas with private pools and oversized suites that feature some of the largest beds in hotel history. The Reserve Pool Villa overlooks the garden, while the Royal Beach Villa gives direct access to the cerulean beachfront. Every villa is meticulously designed to offer privacy and breathtaking views. True luxury lies in the details. It will be a task to leave your villa, we say.

For the Love of Fine Dining

If culinary experiences are what you live for, Phulay Bay is just the spot. Our five restaurants and the bespoke service Dining Beyond offer a diverse range of international cuisine, Mediterranean dishes, and local fare. Helmed by Michelin-starred Executive Chef Christian Herrgesell, the menu is an artwork complemented by fresh ingredients sourced locally. Savour contemporary fine dining at the rooftop lounge of Lae Lay Seafood Restaurant, or choose a chef’s table at Jampoon for an exclusive look at preparing Mediterranean-inspired cuisine in the kitchen and craving Thai food with a modern twist. Go to Sri Trang to enjoy traditional dishes served directly to you. Admire the sunset with crafty cocktails at Chomtawan Beach Bar or lounge around the pool at Plai Fah. Looking for an intimate setting to pop the question? With the help of the personal host and Phulay Bay’s Dining Beyond concept, create an unforgettable memory as a curated dinner menu is served in Sala Srichan, illuminated with 2,000 candles. It would be a dreamy yes!

Embrace the Island Vibe

Begin your day with a mindful session with in-house yoga expert Himani Pal on the beach and end it with a restorative spa session in peaceful open-air treatment rooms. Immerse yourself in local culture at local temples, a blessing ceremony by Buddhist monks, or drive to the Tiger Cave temple. Don’t miss out on learning Muay Thai, Thai cooking, and Batik painting by experts. Snorkel near Bamboo Island to see stunning marine life, including colourful coral reefs, take a long-tail boat ride to Hong Island, or kayak through lush rainforests to discover hidden coves. If adventure is your thing, hike to the nearby Naga Mountain to catch the sunrise or trek to the Hang Nak Mountain summit for panoramic views of the beaches, town, and even the Koh Phi Phi islands on a clear day. Return to the resort for relaxing laps in Phang Nga Bay’s infinity pool. There are no dull days in Krabi.

Phulay Bay invites you to slow down, reconnect with nature, and indulge in the quiet luxury of a truly exceptional experience.
