The ShellSea Krabi is an upscale boutique resort on the beach between Railay and Krabi Town. Its 85 rooms and villas are some of the most stylish in the area, with beachy-chic decor and Thai-made furnishings. They shine on their amenities, too -- every room types features king beds, minibars, balconies or terraces, and big bathrooms with rainfall showers and soaking tubs. Common areas are equally excellent, with three restaurants and bars (including a beachside lounge with sunset views), two ocean-facing pools (one for adults and one for families), and a gorgeous spa. Daily activities for adults and kids include yoga, bike tours, and Thai boxing. A few loungers are set up on the hotel's beach, which connects to a geological site that's home to mollusk fossils. Despite all these pros, it's worth comparison shopping with Nakamanda Resort & Spa, a boutique hotel on a private beach in Nong Thale.

The Krabi Tropical Beach Resort is a small, family-friendly property with fewer than 20 rooms. As a value resort, it's not overly fancy but offers a great escape from the crowds in Ao Nang. The resort is located about six miles from the port village of Ao Nam Mao, where boats leave for East Railay Bay. It's on a tranquil and undeveloped beach; while not white sand it's refreshingly devoid of the beach-umbrella and water-sport crowd. Rooms range from Family Apartments with full kitchens to Deluxe and Superior Sea View Rooms, all decorated in contemporary Thai style with patios or balconies, and air-conditioning. There is a small saltwater-treated pool in the garden, a whirlpool, and a restaurant with an open-air section on the deck.
