Baan Don Thailand

Nestled amidst the turquoise blue waters and majestic limestone formations of Thailand’s Krabi province, Baan Don is a luxurious three-bedroom holiday home for six. A small, tranquil pathway takes you to a sprawling 700m beach, with picturesque views of Koh Pu island on the east. The region teems with fun-filled activities like island hopping tours, sea cave canoeing, jet skiing and ATV adventures.
Tucked away inside an eco-conscious resort adhering to the theme of ‘a hideout in paradise,’ the villa encourages high sustainability and minimal waste production. Its many facilities include a luxurious swimming pool, paddle board and motorbike rental, tours and travel services, and a boutique resort store. Work up a sweat in the well-stocked fitness room, followed by a relaxing massage in the spa center. For some peaceful me-time, head to the cozy library.
Inspired by traditional Thai architecture, the villa is designed with mostly natural materials like wood and stone. The thoughtful layout ensures natural ventilation and abundant light across the property. Offering panoramic views of the Andaman Sea and Phi Phi islands, it features a private tropical garden which is a perfect spot for your morning tea. All the rooms are fully air-conditioned, with large ceiling fans.
The spacious outdoor deck gives off a leafy, Balinese feel and boasts a luxurious swimming pool. Sunbathe on lounge chairs, against a backdrop of golden sunsets.
The 135 square meter living area is open and breezy, with glossy floorings, elegant wooden beams and pastel-hued decor. Dewy white couches are surrounded by large folding doors and windows which open onto a nearly 180 degree view of the outdoor garden and sea.
The kitchen is roomy and well-equipped, with shiny countertops and wooden cabinetry. It includes a minibar and tea and coffee making facilities. The 8-seater wooden dining table is perfect for intimate family meals, while the three bar stools are great for evening cocktails.
There are two bedrooms on the lower level, one of them with a king size bed and the other with a queen size bed. The master bedroom feels like a wing in itself. It features a large en-suite bathroom and an outdoor double shower. Tucked 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 pick ups 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 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. 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 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 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 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.At Excellence Luxury Villas we pride ourselves on going that little bit further for our guests.
