Baan Wajda

Details of the Villa

Perched on the sun kissed island of Krabi, Baan Wajda is a luxurious, family-friendly villa with three bedrooms for six. Engulfed by views of the Andaman Sea and Phi Phi, this striking retreat rests inside a serene eco-boutique resort that's committed to high sustainability and reducing waste production. Savour the breathtaking beauty of tropical Thailand or spend a cosy afternoon in the comfort of an elegant holiday home. Go motorbiking, surfing and snorkelling, and treat yourself to some much-deserved spa time. Curl up in the comfy, well-stocked library and forage through lush organic gardens. Indulge in a day of retail therapy at the resort's lively boutique store. Adventure junkies will have a gala time exploring the surrounding islands. Spend hours swimming, paddle boarding and jet skiing. Sign up for scenic boat rides, canoe through dramatic sea caves and kayak with dense mangroves in the background. Make sure to also check with the staff for their exclusive tour and travel services. Located a few steps away from the beach, the villa has a charm of its own. It stays true to the breezy, relaxed vibe of the island while boasting a decor that's stylish yet home-like. Drawing inspiration from traditional Thai architecture, it's a space of white-washed walls and earthy fixtures using mostly natural materials like wood and stone. Set inside a cocoon of fragrant gardens, it welcomes you with a shimmering private pool. Bask outside in the sunny veranda, or discover a 4km stretch of golden coastline. Cosy lounge chairs make for relaxing siestas by the pool. The airy indoor-outdoor living room is ideal for an evening of family bonding. Settle down in the plump seating area with wooden folding doors and windows that offer almost 180-degree views of outdoorsy beauty. Take cooking lessons in the adjoining open-air kitchen, kitted with a minibar, and tea and coffee maker. Dig into sumptuous family meals in the dining area and unwind with a round of cocktails at the bar. All three bedrooms are stunning and feature puffy king-size beds. While two are located in different buildings altogether, the third is the main villa — with calming pool-side views and open-air showers that make you feel at one with nature. Spend time in the resort's lively restaurant and bar, hobnob with travellers in the community pool area or experience the neighbourhood's marvellous mix of activities and scenic walks. #### Features Villa interiors - Open-plan living and dining area - Kitchen - Bedroom with a king-size bed with en-suite WC - Bedroom with a king-size bed with en-suite WC - Bedroom with a king-size bed, pool views and en-suite WC Outside grounds - Swimming pool - Open deck with seating area - Private garden - Beach access Additional facilities - Internet - Minibar - Coffee machine - Kettle - Air conditioning - Mobile phone - Laundry #### Location Known for its lush mangroves, bouldering limestone cliffs and a wealth of over 100 islands, Baan Wajda could not be better located. The most convenient point of arrival is Krabi International Airport.

The resort also organizes pickups from Phuket Airport, Ao Nang Beach and the neighbouring islands of Koh Phi and Koh Lanta. Accessible only by boat, Railay Beach offers staggering limestone formations and an array of activities. A haven for rock climbers, it has over 700 climbing sites and hosts the annual Krabi Rock and Fire International Contest. Krabi Elephant Sanctuary is where you can feed and swim with elephants for a truly memorable experience. The Aao Nam Mao Outdoor Aquarium offers incredible exhibits of rare fish, turtles and sharks, while Phranang Beach Cave remains famous for its sacred image of Buddha. Island-hopping tours in Krabi Town and Ao Nang are famous among tourists from around the world. Witness fascinating caves and hidden gems in the company of an expert local guide. Wildlife enthusiasts won't get enough of the Thung Teao Forest Nature Park. Home to the Crystal Lagoon, also known as Emerald Pool, this warm water spring promises you a chance to swim 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 remarkable islands. Check out rock paintings of Viking ships in Koh Phi Phi Leh.
