Phulay Bay – Exclusive Ritz-Carlton Reserve in Krabi

Phulay Bay, a Ritz Carlton Reserve is an ultra-luxurious resort, located in Krabi, on southern Thailand’s west coast. Overlooking the ancient limestone sea-stacks of Phang Nga Bay, the resort features 54 pavilions and villas, all boasting views of one of the most extraordinary landscapes in all of Asia. Designed by local architect Lek Bunnag, the hotel’s design reflects Krabi’s Muslim heritage, blending peaked-roofed buildings and Thai artworks with Moorish-inspired pendant lamps.

Arrivals at Phulay Bay are ceremoniously announced by the sound of a Thai gong and the distribution of calming concoctions of lemongrass and ginger tea. Rooms are Dubai-level lavish, with interiors of cream granite and white linen. The bathrooms have lotus-shaped sinks, double-headed rain showers, and outdoor tubs, and most rooms have massive beds. Although the beach shallows are rocky, there is an expansive infinity pool, six dining options, private butlers and a luxurious spa.
