Book the Phulay Bay Ritz Carlton with VIP Benefits

The Andaman Sea is the spectacular backdrop of many luxury hotels. However, Phulay Bay Ritz Carlton Reserve is outstanding among them. This lavish resort overlooks the beautiful sea-green waters of Phang Nga Bay on the Krabi Thailand coast. With stunning architecture, countless top-notch features, accommodation, and stellar service, Phulay Bay is a prime example of the Ritz-Carlton brand of global luxury properties.

Location

The Resort in Thailand sits on a quiet part of the coast of Krabi on the Andaman Sea that washes the west coastal areas of southern Thailand. The location is famous for gorgeous beaches. However, this resort has a different rocky shore but striking vistas of the sea and Dragon Crest Mountain. In addition, several lovely beaches are a short boat-hop away. These include those at the renowned James Bond Island, Hong Island, and Phi Phi Island.

Additionally, Krabi Airport is about 40 minutes away. Still, many guests arrive via Phuket International, used by many of the leading airlines.

The reception pavilion and fabulous peak-roofed guest villas seem out of Arabian legends, floating on a crystal sea. Moreover, beautiful, lush gardens surround the resort garlanded by palms and banyan trees.

Purple stone walls adorned with pink bougainvillea and scented frangipane by day are lit by thousands of candles after dark glowingly reflected in delightful lilyponds. Furthermore, attentive, warm staff provides the highest hospitality to all guests.
