Enclosed by limestone cliffs, the location and relative isolation of Railay Beach has allowed the area to remain largely unspoiled. Nonetheless, there are some resorts where tourists can stay while enjoying the secluded setting.
1. Sand Sea Resort (from 2,673.25 THB (78 USD) per night for two persons)
Location, scenery, rear pool, sunset on west beach, walk to rock climbing area, seafood barbecue, great rooms, huge comfy bed. Amazing place - would highly recommend this resort.”

4. Rayavadee (From 11,652 THB (339 USD) per night for two persons)
All the villas were secluded from one another and no noise was noted other than the bird and monkey life. Breakfast included a wonderful array of different foods. Loved the location and landscape. The spa was excellent, professional and a perfect salubrious setting to relax in. All staff that we encountered were only too happy to assist as needed and were very professional and polite. You are guaranteed a perfect night’s sleep on very comfortable beds, in villas with air conditioning, great sized bathrooms and loved the decor of the villas. Geography and landscape is stunning, with the aqua coloured water, high limestone cliffs rising up out of the water. We were fortunate to organise a boat trip through the Rayavadee to island hop and snorkel, a trip we will always remember. Scott, Australia

5. Railay Garden View Resort (From 950 THB (28 USD) per night for two persons)
We loved Railay, and the natural beauty of this spot. Our bungalow was a delight. Yes, there are a lot of steps to get to your room, but this creates a view to be treasured. Do use the lift to move luggage. The bed was comfortable. There was almost always a nice breeze. We spent lots of time on the porch looking out over the water. Wi-Fi was pretty fast and functional. Breakfast was terrific! We felt looked after by the staff and secure. We could walk everywhere. We would definitely come back again. Susan, USA

8. Railay Bay Resort & Spa (From 2,940 THB (85 USD) per night for two persons)
Excellent location, amazing beach in front of the hotel and lively, beautiful area (lot of bars, restaurants and travel agencies nearby, walks to the other side of the peninsula, climbs, monkeys, etc. :) ). Boats are just outside the hotel on the beach, easy to visit any of amazing islands nearby. Water is clean and very warm. The pool at the beach side is amazing. We loved that they even provide beach blanket and towels and beach bag, which are very convenient! Lot of amenities in the room, cheap mini bar and free bottled drinking water every day. Breakfast is nice in the restaurant right at the beach, tasty and plenty of choice. The rooms are huge and comfortable. Medical service and mini market on site. Excellent hotel transport service from the airport, not even 1 step to walk or carry your luggage - for an absolutely competitive price. Staff always present, very helpful and flexible. The service they provide would be a 5 star in Europe. Lilla, Belgium
