Overview
Nestled in the white sand and limestone paradise of Krabi in Thailand, Baan Khating is a luxurious five-bedroom holiday home for ten. Only a walking distance from a 700-meter long private beach, it is a haven for water sport enthusiasts and sunset chasers. Spend days island hopping, sea cave canoeing and jet skiing.
Tucked inside an eco-boutique resort that celebrates the theme of ‘a hideout in paradise,’ the property is committed to high sustainability and reducing waste production. Make most of its sprawling swimming pool, and paddle board or motorbike rentals. Other facilities include tours and travel services, and a charming resort store. Sweat out the extra calories in the fitness room, followed by a relaxing massage in the spa center. For a quieter time indoors, head to the well-stocked library or enjoy a cup of tea in the organic garden.
The villa pays homage to traditional Thai architecture and is designed with mostly natural materials like wood and stone. Offering panoramic views of the Andaman Sea and Phi Phi islands, it features a private manicured garden and gorgeous beach frontage. The thoughtful layout ensures natural ventilation across the property.
The sweeping outdoor deck offers a leafy, tropical feel, with easy access to the private beach. Sit back on one of the lounge chairs and take in the beautiful sunsets.
The living area is open and breezy, with a refreshing summery ambience. Glossy stone floorings, elegant wooden beams, and traditional artworks and handicrafts create a unique sense of peace and harmony. Staying true to its philosophy of naturalism, the villa does not offer a TV. Comfy jute couches are surrounded by large folding doors and windows, which open onto a nearly 180 degree view of the outdoor garden and sea.
Enjoy intimate family meals at a 7-seater wooden dining table. The kitchen is roomy and well-equipped, with shiny countertops and wooden cabinetry. It includes a minibar and tea and coffee making facilities.
There are five bedrooms in all, three with king-size beds and two with queen-size beds. They boast sweeping views of the ocean. The villa also has elegantly attached open-air showers, which make you feel at one with nature.

Location
About the surrounding area of Baan KhatingTucked in the scenic province of Krabi, famous for its jagged limestone cliffs, mangrove forests and a constellation of over 100 islands, the resort is blessed with an enviable location. The most convenient point of arrival is Krabi International Airport. From there, a representative of the resort will ferry you to the resort in a private long-tail boat (35 mins) or private speed boat (20 mins). The resort also organizes pickups from Phuket Airport, Ao Nang Beach and the neighboring islands of Koh Phi Phi and Koh Lanta.
Accessible only by boat, Railay Beach is beloved for its dewy white sand, sapphire blue waters and awe-inspiring limestone formations. It’s a haven for rock-climbers with over 700 climbing sites and the annual Krabi Rock and Fire International Contest. Explore the Phranang Beach cave, which contains a sacred image of Buddha. Spend a leisurely time in the many beachfront shacks and breezy restaurants located on the beach.
Sign up for an island- hopping boat tour from Krabi Town or Ao Nang. Discover other-worldly caves, mangrove jungles and ancient island paintings in the company of an expert local guide. Wildlife lovers should not miss out on Thung Teao Forest Nature Park. Home to the Crystal Lagoon, also known as Emerald Pool, this warm water spring is ideal for swimming against a backdrop of cascading waterfalls. If you’re lucky, you might just spot the highly endangered, bright colored Pitta Gurney bird.
A challenging, but ultimately rewarding climb of 1,237 steps will take you to the Footprints of Buddha in the Tiger Cave Temple. The name is derived from a legend, which suggests that a fearsome tiger used to live in one of the many natural caves surrounding the temple. Get a glimpse into the lives of monks who used to live and meditate inside these caves. You will see fascinating stone tools, pottery relics and bizarre pictures of cadavers — which symbolize the Buddhist philosophy that all physical forms are transitory.
Flung 43 kms west of Krabi, Koh Phi consists of 6 beautiful islands. Check out rock paintings of Viking ships in Koh Phi Phi Leh. Go snorkeling in Bamboo Island and witness dazzling coral reefs. For those with a daredevil spirit, plunge into the waters of Koh Phi Phi Don with a qualified guide and observe majestic black-tip and leopard sharks.
