Infinity pool hotels in Krabi

Phulay Bay stands on the shore of the Andaman Sea at Tubkaek, on Krabi's quiet northern coast, with forested hills behind it. Its Outdoor Infinity Pool sits at beach level and is shared by all hotel guests. From the pool deck, the water appears to run straight into the sea, with the limestone islands offshore.

The resort bills itself as the world's first Ritz-Carlton Reserve, and it holds Three MICHELIN Keys in the 2026 selection. Guests stay in pavilions and villas with traditional Thai design, ocean or garden views and 24-hour butler service. The pool villas, including the Reserve Pool Villa Sea View, add a private plunge pool in their own garden area.

Children are welcome: the Phulay Bay Kids program runs activities for young guests, and there is a separate children's pool. The spa has a vitality pool, saunas and steam baths, and the beachfront lounge is set up for watching the sunset.

Best for: couples marking a special trip, and families who want a kids' program at a quiet beach resort.

At Banyan Tree Krabi the infinity pools are private: the Premium Ocean Pool Suite, the Two Bedroom Ocean Pool Suite and the Wellbeing Sanctuary Pool Suite each have a pool with an infinity edge, and in the two Ocean suites it faces the Andaman Sea and its limestone islands. The shared pool, open to all guests, is a 20 meter (66 foot) saltwater pool on the beachfront, lined with private daybeds and sun loungers.

The resort takes the northern end of Tubkaek Beach, next to Dragon Crest Mountain, with the green hills of a conserved forest behind it. It holds Two MICHELIN Keys, and each of its 72 suites and villas has its own private pool; for an infinity edge, book one of the three suites above. The spa's Rainforest hydrotherapy circuit, which the resort calls Krabi's first, adds a vitality pool, hot and cold plunge pools and a jet pool, and is listed among the spa treatments.

Many rooms are raised along a tiered hillside, so the resort asks parents of children under 12 to sign a safety disclaimer. Children are welcome all the same: the Kids' Club, for ages 4 to 12, is surrounded by a small waterpark with a slide.

Best for: couples who want a private infinity pool facing the sea, and families who will use the Kids' Club.

On a forested cliffside in the center of Ao Nang, Avani Ao Nang Cliff Krabi Resort has its infinity pool on the rooftop of the panorama wing. The pool is shared by all guests and looks out over the town to the Andaman Sea, its offshore islands and the limestone cliffs along the coast. For a private infinity pool, book the Avani Pool Villa, one of the villas set back in the hills.

The Cliff, the resort's Thai restaurant, serves lunch, snacks and drinks beside the infinity pool through the day, and The Peak Rooftop Bar faces the sunset over the sea in the evening. A second pool, the Orchid Pool, has its own bar for light bites.

The Superior Sea View rooms are in the same panorama wing, and the Avani Family Suite adds bunk beds for children. The resort sits on the hillside rather than on the sand: Ao Nang Beach is down through the town's shops and restaurants.

Best for: couples and groups of friends who want a sea-view infinity pool with the restaurants of Ao Nang around them.

The Breeze Pool is the resort's infinity pool, set at ground level on the beachfront of Klong Muang Beach and shared by all hotel guests. From the water, the view runs across the lawn and the palms to the Andaman Sea, and a swim-up bar serves cocktails and lunch. A second beachfront pool, the Cocovida Pool, has its own bar with snacks and evening entertainment.

The 240 rooms and suites sit in tropical gardens along the beach, and the view depends on the category. Deluxe Premium and Club Deluxe Premium rooms overlook the gardens and mangroves, while the Sea Facing rooms and suites look across the lawn toward the ocean. Private outdoor plunge pools come only with the Club One Bedroom Suite with Plunge Pool and the Club Two Bedroom Suite with Plunge Pool.

On the sand, the resort bills Breeze Beach Bar as Klong Muang Beach's premier sunset spot. Devarana Wellness runs the spa, the sports facilities include a Muay Thai ring and a watersports center, and Kidz R Kids Club welcomes children aged 5 to 12.

Best for: families who want a kids' club by the beach, and couples looking for sunset views from a beachfront infinity pool.

Limestone islands rise on the sea horizon in front of Amari Vogue Krabi, a beach resort at the quiet northern end of Tubkaek Beach. Its three swimming pools form a terraced chain through the tropical garden and step down toward the sand, ending in an infinity pool beside the beach, open to all guests, with elephant fountains along its sides and the islands beyond.

The resort opened in 2007 and was renovated in 2019. Its 64 rooms, suites and villas pair contemporary interiors with Thai craftsmanship, and many have a balcony or a Jacuzzi facing the sea. For a pool of your own, book the One Bedroom Pool Villa or the Two Bedroom Pool Villa, each with a private plunge pool. Children under 12 can share a room with their parents in every category except the Superior Room.

Sun & Soul Bar sits on the sand and faces west for the sunset, and Chaonang Spa offers traditional Thai massage and aromatherapy. The resort lies at the foot of Dragon Crest, whose hiking trail climbs to a viewpoint above the coast.

Best for: couples looking for a quiet beach stay, and families who want a two-bedroom villa with its own plunge pool.

The main swimming pool at Railay Great View Resort is an infinity pool set on a forested slope above Railay East, and it is shared by all hotel guests. Its far edge faces the bay through a line of trees, with views of the sea and the limestone cliffs around Railay, and a wooden deck with loungers runs along one side. The resort also has a separate children's pool.

Wooden cottages in traditional Thai style are spread over a hillside of tropical greenery, a short walk from the property's private beach. All rooms are cottages with a balcony and wooden furnishings, in two categories: the Deluxe Cottages face the sunrise with a partial ocean view, and the Grand Deluxe Cottages add a bathtub and a sun lounge.

The trees that give the pool its jungle setting also screen part of the sea view. The restaurant serves Thai, Chinese and Western dishes, and the hotel does not serve alcohol. Thai massage is offered in a massage pavilion, and the resort runs sea kayaking.

Best for: couples who want a green hillside setting, and active travelers planning rock climbing or sea kayaking around Railay.

Of the two swimming pools at Railay Princess Resort & Spa, the spacious rooftop infinity pool is the one with the view, and it is shared by all hotel guests. Its open edge faces the forested limestone cliffs of Railay. The second pool sits lower, in the gardens, and overlooks the surrounding lake and tropical greenery, a quieter place to swim away from the beach.

The resort stands on the east side of Railay, in the center of the peninsula, with its beaches, viewpoints and restaurants close by. Railay is known for rock climbing, and the resort's team helps guests choose climbing courses for beginners, kayaking and island-hopping trips.

The Standard, Superior and Deluxe rooms open onto a large private terrace, and the Junior Suite Corner adds an open upper-floor living area. The full-service Railay Princess Spa offers massages, facials and body wraps.

Best for: climbers and active travelers who want a central base in Railay, with a pool that looks at the cliffs.
