Selling Rayavadee to your clients
Rayavadee suits honeymoon, anniversary and wedding files, and families who want space in a setting guests reach by boat from the resort's own pier. Pool Pavilions are the natural couple's choice; Family Pavilions and Family Villas cover groups of four, and the beach villas with butler service suit top-end files. Our destination weddings team can build a ceremony around the resort's lawn and beach packages.
Plan the arrival in detail: guests transfer by road to the resort's pier and then by boat, and the resort runs no boat transfers between 23:00 and 05:00, so late flights need an overnight elsewhere or a check with the hotel. Our Thailand DMC transfer team handles the connection. The resort has announced 2026 works on its main pool, tennis court and some restaurants, so ask us to confirm outlet status for your dates. See our Krabi destination guide and the other Explera partner hotels.
