| UPDATE : 14 December 2009 | |||
Located by the Andaman Sea along the southwestern stretch of Ao Nang Beach, the stylish resort of Phulay Bay provides a luxurious experience within an unspoiled natural environment, as well as offering its guests the chance to sample a variety of interesting cultural and adventure activities nearby. The stunning landscape and natural environment surrounding the resort includes incredible limestone cliffs, while this particular stretch of coast boasts more than 200 islands. Managed by the world-class hotel brand Ritz-Carlton, the Krabi-based resort gets its name from phu ('mountain') and lae ('the ocean'). Located just a 40-minute drive from Krabi International Airport, or a two-hour drive from Phuket International Airport, Phulay Bay, which officially opened its doors in October, is the world's first Ritz-Carlton Reserve property. An idyllic retreat The resort's boutique pavilions and villas have been sheltered from prying eyes through the clever use of aubergine plants and hedges created using other native shrubs, ensuring guests enjoy absolute privacy during their stay. The architectural structure, designed by architect Lek Bunnag, has created a harmonious mix of modern styling and traditional Thai features. You'll find examples of Lanna architectural designs, along with decorative features and paintings, while the doors at each villa's entrance truly reflect distinctive aspects of Thai culture.
Fire is represented in the use of candlelight throughout the resort, creating an extremely romantic setting. The refreshing sound of water is also apparent, particularly in areas where guests can bathe or swim. Air is represented through the clever use of space, which provides guests with plenty of areas where they can simply gather their thoughts, while the earth, reflects the resort's tasteful use of the area's natural environment and stunning scenery to provide an ideal landscape. Attention to detail As well as boasting an incredible natural environment, you get the feeling the resort has spent considerable time ensuring that every detail is 'just so'. From the welcoming drink to the choice of traditional Thai music, silk furnishings and coverings, great care has been taken to ensure guests truly 'experience' the luxury resort. As well as being able to choose from a range of accommodation options in order to meet your individual needs, you can also personalize your visit by means of participating in a range of interesting activities. You may wish to try a personalized BBQ lunch within your own space, or sign up for a meditation class with local monks.
To celebrate its opening, Phulay Bay has several special rates for its various accommodation options. Rates for its Resort Pavilion, Ocean Pavilion, Beach Villa, Reserve Villa, or Royal Beach Villa range from 19,550 baht (US$593) at entry level to 68,000 baht per night at the top end.
