Baan Viva Villa

Details of the Villa

An inviting two-bedroom villa for four, Baan Viva is a beachfront gem nestled in the magical island of Krabi. Flanked by gorgeous views of Andaman Sea and Phi Phi, it offers the solitude and greenery of tropical Thailand with a wealth of vibrant attractions nearby. Tucked inside a serene, leafy eco-boutique resort that celebrates the theme of ‘a hideout in paradise,' it's committed to high sustainability and reducing waste production. Take long walks along private beaches and enjoy a rejuvenating Thai massage. Spend leisurely afternoons in the charming library or unwind with a cup of tea at the organic garden. Adrenaline junkies will relish the lapping waves that envelope the property. Go swimming, paddle boarding and island-hopping. Canoe through spectacular sea caves or kayak with lush mangroves in the backdrop. The resort has a quaint boutique store for some wonderful retail therapy. Try motorbiking and jet skiing, or check with the staff for special tour and travel services. The villa is just as striking. An amble from the beach and engulfed by 2000 m2 of fragrant gardens, it's made for cosy holidays with loved ones. Much like its neighbourhood, Baan Viva exudes a breezy, laid-back vibe, overlooking the magnificent ocean. Spread over three separate buildings, it draws inspiration from traditional Thai architecture — adorned with mostly natural materials like wood and stone. Its living area opens onto a delightful outdoor space, teeming with rustling trees and verdant foliage. Glossy wooden accents blend with soothing, earthy decor. A comfy seating area is surrounded by large folding doors and windows, offering a nearly 180-degree view. Settle down for cocktail soirees at the bar, sign up for private cooking classes in the villa's open-air kitchen and bond over hearty meals at the indoor dining table. A minibar, tea and coffee maker are also provided. While both bedrooms are detached from the main section of the estate, they remain true to the sumptuous ambiance of the rest of the house. Puffy king-size beds promise a good night's sleep, while en-suite bathrooms come with open-air showers that make you feel at one with nature. Baan Viva offers an effortlessly elegant and home-like experience with natural and understated tone of Thailand's tropical beauty. #### Features Villa interiors - Open-plan living and dining area - Kitchen - Bedroom with king-size bed, garden and beach view and en-suite WC - Bedroom with king-size bed, garden and beach view, and en-suite WC Outside grounds - Open deck with seating area - Garden and beach access Additional facilities - Internet - Minibar - Coffee machine - Kettle - Air conditioning - Mobile phone - Laundry #### Location Offering a myriad of eateries and scenic points, Baan Viva's location is ideal.

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 pickups from Phuket Airport, Ao Nang Beach and the neighbouring islands of Koh Phi Phi and Koh Lanta. A visit to Krabi Elephant Sanctuary is a big yes — where you can feed and swim with elephants for a truly once-in-lifetime experience. Head to The Aao Nam Mao Outdoor Aquarium for its dazzling exhibits of rare fish, turtles and sharks. Accessible only by boat, Railay Beach brims with stunning beaches and wonderful limestone formations. An all-season favourite among rock-climbers, it's home to over 700 climbing sites and the annual Krabi Rock and Fire International Contest. You can't miss Phranang Beach Cave, famous for its sacred image of Buddha. Island-hopping boat tours in Krabi Town and Ao Nang are highly recommended. Discover beguiling caves and ancient island paintings in the company of an expert local guide. Wildlife enthusiasts will delight in exploring Thung Teao Forest Nature Park. Home to the Crystal Lagoon, also known as Emerald Pool, this warm water spring is a popular spot for swimming against cascading waterfalls. A challenging, but 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. Witness 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 symbolise the Buddhist philosophy that all physical forms are transitory. Flung 43 kms west of Krabi, Koh Phi consists of six breathtaking islands. Check out rock paintings of Viking ships in Koh Phi Phi Leh. Spend time snorkelling in Bamboo Island and swim with dazzling coral reefs. Koh Phi Phi Don is home to the majestic black-tip and leopard sharks.
