Phulay Bay Ritz-Carlton Reserve Hotel

Phulay Bay in Krabi on the Andaman sea is a seriously stunning 5 star resort, and the perfect place for a luxury retreat.

The decor is typically Thai with lots of dark wood, and the linen is so fresh and white that you’ll just want to sink into it and not get up again! But you must – there’s so many dreamy parts of this hotel to explore like the infinity pool, spa and lush grounds.

There are a bunch of restaurants serving up Thai and international cuisine, and there’s a lounge bar that’s perfect for cocktails and watching the sunset. The villas are super spacious and you can even get butler service if you want it.

Choose a giant one-bedroom bungalow with two extra-large double beds and a freestanding bath tub with views of the garden or the sea (from £429 per night).

For a more premium stay, there are a number of larger villas, offering private pools and views of the sea or the beach (from £859 per night).
