The Tubkaak Krabi Boutique Resort

We stayed 5 nights at The Tubkaak Krabi in a beachfront pool villa, and it was everything we hoped for – calm, beautiful, and deeply relaxing.

The setting is stunning: right on the beach, facing the limestone islands, with a peaceful, almost timeless atmosphere. Our villa was spacious, private, and perfectly designed for switching off. Having our own pool just steps from the beach made it very hard to ever want to leave.

Service throughout the stay was excellent – attentive, kind, and genuinely warm without being intrusive. The resort never feels busy or loud, which is exactly what makes it special. This is not a party resort; it’s a place to slow down, breathe, and enjoy quality time.

Food was consistently very good, both at breakfast and in the restaurant, and evenings by the beach were particularly memorable.

One practical tip: if you plan to do the Hong Island boat trip, leave early in the morning. The islands are beautiful, but they get extremely crowded later in the day – an early departure makes a huge difference to the experience.

Overall, The Tubkaak is perfect if you’re looking for peace, luxury without flashiness, and true relaxation. We would happily return.

Best hotel in Thailand - you won't be disappointed.
Everything is flawless here. They go to so much detail. The architecture is beautiful and the beach is the best I have ever been to.
Restaurants serve a delicious choice of food and the breakfast buffet is amazing.
Staff as so friendly and attentive.
We went with our 9 & 12 year old and there was plenty for them to do.
Free kayaking and paddle boarding in the amazingly warm sea and yoga in the mornings was great.

We had a fantastic stay at The Tubkaak Krabi Boutique Resort in a pool-view room on the second floor. The room was thoughtfully designed, with enough space for two people and luggage without feeling tight. Everything was spotless, and we especially loved the outdoor shower — it added a relaxed, tropical feel that made the experience even more memorable.

What made the stay even more special was the location. The resort sits toward the end of the road on Tubkaak Beach, away from the busier areas of Krabi. We truly appreciated that distance. It limited traffic, outside noise, and random foot traffic along the beach. The setting felt quiet, secluded, and calm — exactly what we were hoping for. It allowed the natural beauty of the beach and the sunsets to take center stage without distraction.

The service is what truly elevates this property. The staff are exceptional — not just polite or efficient, but genuinely warm, attentive, and proud of what they do. There is an authenticity in their hospitality. From reception to the restaurant team, housekeeping, spa therapists, and beach staff, everyone contributed to making the stay seamless. You feel recognized. Small details are remembered. Assistance is offered naturally, without being intrusive.

That level of care transforms a beautiful hotel into something personal. It makes you look forward to returning after a day out, knowing you will be welcomed with a smile and that everything is taken care of.

The breakfasts and dinners were excellent in both quality and presentation. Morning yoga, paddle boarding, long beach walks, spa treatments, and cocktails at sunset directly on the beach created a perfect daily rhythm. The hotel feels intimate, calm, and refined, without being overly formal.

A beautifully presented property with truly outstanding service. This is the kind of place you return to — not only for the setting, but for the people who make it special.

We just had a fantastic time here. Service was excellent. Location is great. The beach is relatively quiet and the set up of beach lounges is great for hanging out and sunset drinks. I did free yoga classes which were chill. Breakfast was great though dinner was a little disappointing.
Would definitely recommend this resort if you are after a fancy, stress-free holiday. We only stayed 2 nights but I could have stayed longer!!

We have had a fantastic stay at the Tubkaak in a pool view room. The hotel is one of the best we’ve ever stayed at and deserves its very high rating. The room was spotless and we loved the outdoor shower. The staff are truly amazing, there are too many names to mention, but we’ve had exceptional service from Liala, Nan, Mai, Guide, Thita, Supa and they have been great fun. The food has been excellent. I am a coeliac and my wife is vegetarian and we generally eat in the hotel. The staff have gone out of their way to make sure all my food has been gluten free and they remember what you like at breakfast. We’ve thoroughly enjoyed the gym, boat trips, paddle boarding, the sauna, beach walks, spa and cocktails at sunset on the beach. A truly impressive beautifully presented hotel. Thank you for a wonderful Holiday.
