Trip Advisor Rating '.$item_trip.' Our Rating 9.6
 

Ban Sainai Resort, a four-star retreat nestled in the heart of Ao Nang, Krabi, Thailand, embodies Southern Thai cultural philosophy through its contemporary rustic cottage design. This serene, adult-focused sanctuary, adhering to a dry hotel policy with no pork or alcohol served, is ideal for nature lovers seeking a peaceful escape surrounded by lush tropical gardens.

The 40 detached thatched-roof cottages, spread across 6.7 acres of coconut groves and verdant landscapes, offer cozy elegance with private terraces featuring hammocks and seating areas. Each air-conditioned cottage includes a flat-screen cable television with Netflix, a safety deposit box, an electric kettle, a fridge, and en-suite bathrooms with hot/cold showers, hairdryers, and deluxe toiletries. Select cottages, like the Sainai Jacuzzi and Grand Lake View, feature jetted bathtubs or stunning pond views. The resort's saltwater infinity pool, framed by limestone cliffs, invites relaxation, while a fitness centre and reflexology spa treatments rejuvenate guests. Complimentary bicycles enhance exploration of the surrounding greenery.

Dining at Sai Nai Restaurant delights with authentic Thai and international cuisine, including vegetarian and gluten-free options, served in an open-air setting by a serene pond. Guests can savour freshly prepared dishes like crispy prawn fritters or opt for in-cottage dining for added privacy. Pool Sala, the poolside café, offers non-alcoholic mocktails, freshly brewed coffee, and light bites with views of Krabi's iconic cliffs. The resort's attentive staff arranges curated tours to nearby islands or cultural sites, ensuring a seamless blend of relaxation and adventure.

Located 1.6 km from Ao Nang Beach and 1 km from Ao Nang's vibrant downtown, Ban Sainai Resort provides a complimentary scheduled shuttle service to the beachfront. Nopparat Thara Beach is a 15-minute drive, Krabi Town is 20 minutes away, and Krabi International Airport is reachable in 30 minutes. Note that renovations are scheduled from June to September 2025, with efforts to minimize noise and disturbance. This tranquil haven offers a perfect balance of nature, culture, and refined comfort.

A very nice quiet place in busy Krabi. Easy to get to the beach, 15 min walk, but feels in middle of a jungle. Lovely good restaurants in 5 mins walk.
