Sand Sea Resort
Compare prices
Sand Sea Resort holds one of the best positions in southern Thailand — directly on Railay West's sand, facing the sunset between the peninsula's limestone towers, at rates far below what the setting suggests. Rooms run from simple garden bungalows to renovated deluxe cottages around two pools; the beachfront restaurant does front-row sunsets every night. Like all of Railay it's reached only by longtail boat, and Phra Nang Beach, the climbing walls, and the Princess Lagoon trail are all a flat ten-minute walk. For mid-range travelers who want to sleep inside the postcard, this is the practical pick.
