Location
About the surrounding area of Baan SharmarNestled in scenic Krabi, famous for its jagged limestone cliffs, mangrove forests and a constellation of over 100 islands, the resort possesses an enviable location. The most convenient point of arrival is Krabi International Airport. From there, an official 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 popular for its dewy white sand, turquoise blue waters and sublime limestone formations. It is 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. Try out local cuisine in the many beachfront shacks and breezy restaurants on the beach.
Enroll for an island- hopping boat tour from Krabi Town or Ao Nang. Explore mysterious caves, mangrove jungles and ancient island paintings in the company of an expert local guide. Nature lovers should head to 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 are 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 rustic stone tools, pottery relics and bizarre pictures of cadavers, which symbolize the Buddhist philosophy that all physical forms are transitory.
Situated 43 kms west of Krabi, Koh Phi Phi consists of 6 beautiful islands. Discover 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, dive into the waters of Koh Phi Phi Don with a qualified guide and observe fascinating black-tip and leopard sharks.

I'm already dreaming of our return
We are a family of six arrived 5 days ago and are still amazed by the peaceful and beautiful surroundings. We are used to high-end beach resorts but this is something else, one of a kind.
The villa is located perfectly on a sandy beach inside lush gardens, it is well styled and furnished with high quality but simple and natural looking furnitures and decorations. Spacious and comfortable. David, the Operations Manager, is kind, attentive, knowledgable and helpful. Always making sure we are having a good stay and everything we need. The entire staff is AMAZING! Food is really good and everything is well maintained even during this time of less guests and after a long period of restrictions.
We have to leave this paradise in two days and I'm already dreaming of our return.
Luxury that cleverly seem simple located perfectly on one the best unspoiled islands. -
Would recommend highly!
We stayed on Koh Jum (in a different resort) 12 years ago and returned, hoping it was still a peaceful, quiet place. We were delighted to discover it still is. Our 4-bedroom villa with pool, and by the beach, was excellent. I'd like to specifically praise the restaurant - not only good food, but there were specials each night, which we didn't get at the larger places we stayed, and meant there was always variety. I'd also like to thank David for identifying good travel options for our kids. Outside of the villas, we loved Mr O's fishing trips - I'd highly recommend them to parents wanting to take out a budding fisher!
