Rayavadee

The only way in is by boat, which tells you everything about what kind of resort this is. Rayavadee sits on the Phranang Peninsula, ringed by limestone cliffs rising straight from the jungle, with roughly a hundred circular pavilions and villas scattered across the grounds. Large windows pull the greenery inside, some units have private plunge pools, and the spa leans into traditional Thai wellness. Four restaurants and a boutique round out a place designed to make leaving feel unnecessary.
