Overview
A charming two-bedroom villa for four, Baan Nest is lovingly-restored in the delightful island of Krabi in Thailand.
Nestled inside a luscious eco-boutique resort that celebrates the theme of ‘a hideout in paradise,’ it’s committed to high sustainability and reducing waste production.
The resort welcomes you with a breadth of landscapes and a wealth of facilities. Flanked by glorious views of Andaman Sea and Phi Phi National Park, it’s a cocoon of peace and tranquillity.
Take marvellous walks along a 700-meter-long private beach or enjoy leisurely afternoons in the adorable library. Kickback with a cup of tea in the organic garden, and indulge in a refreshing Thai massage for an especially relaxing time.
Adrenaline junkies are spoilt for choice! Try swimming, paddle boarding and motorbiking. Take island-hopping tours, or canoe through fascinating sea caves. Jet ski for hours and kayak across lush mangroves.
If you choose to stay indoors, make sure to hit the resort’s state-of-the-art fitness centre. A darling boutique store promises wonderful retail therapy. Other facilities include tours and travel services provided by the resort.
Engulfed by stunning horizons of Koh Pu and a gorgeous beach just steps away, the villa is second to none.
Drawing inspiration from traditional Thai architecture, it’s designed with mostly natural materials like wood and stone. Offering panoramic views and verdant foliage, it boasts two spacious terraces that ooze a serene, leafy ambience — perfect to stretch out on lounge chairs and bask in glorious sunsets.
The living area is open and breezy, with glossy floorings, elegant wooden beams and soothing beige-coloured furnishings. A comfy seating area is surrounded by large folding doors and windows, which open onto a nearly 180-degree view of the outdoor garden and beach.
A cosy wooden dining table is ideal for family meals. Enjoy a round of cocktails at the bar or whip up your favourite recipes in the roomy, well-equipped kitchen. It also includes a minibar, and tea and coffee making facilities.
There are two bedrooms in all, one of them is the master suite. Both feature king-size beds, while the master has a sleek en-suite bathroom.
The villa also has elegantly attached open-air showers which make you feel at one with nature.
Offering a myriad of eateries and scenic points, this incredible estate is blessed with an enviable location.

Location
About the surrounding area of Baan NestSet amidst jagged limestone cliffs, lush mangroves and a constellation of over 100 islands, Baan Nest could not be better located.
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 neighbouring islands of Koh Phi Phi and Koh Lanta.
Accessible only by boat, Railay Beach remains ever-popular for its tropical beaches and wonderful limestone formations. A haven for rock-climbing, it’s home to over 700 climbing sites and the annual Krabi Rock and Fire International Contest.
You can’t miss the Phranang Beach cave, famous for its sacred image of Buddha.
Island-hopping boat tour from Krabi Town or Ao Nang is a favourite among tourists. Forage through beguiling caves and ancient island paintings in the company of an expert local guide. Wildlife enthusiasts can’t miss Thung Teao Forest Nature Park. Home to the Crystal Lagoon, also known as Emerald Pool, this warm water spring remains ever-popular for swimming against cascading waterfalls.
A challenging, but 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. Witness 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 symbolise the Buddhist philosophy that all physical forms are transitory.
Flung 43 kms west of Krabi, Koh Phi consists of six remarkable islands. Check out rock paintings of Viking ships in Koh Phi Phi Leh. Go snorkelling in Bamboo Island and swim with dazzling coral reefs. Koh Phi Phi Don is home to the majestic black-tip and leopard sharks.
