Varana krabi Hotel

Our trip to Krabi was extra special as we chose Varana Hotel to celebrate Valentine’s Day together 💕 We stayed 3 days and 2 nights in the Presidential Suite, which comes with a private pool and a private steam room — and it truly exceeded our expectations. The room is incredibly spacious at 150 sqm, yet it feels warm, cozy, and very private. Every detail is thoughtfully designed, making it a place where you genuinely don’t want to step outside once you’re in. The resort consists of 7 accommodation buildings. Even though the hotel was fully booked during our stay, it never felt crowded or overwhelming. The atmosphere remained calm and relaxing throughout. All the staff were kind, attentive, and genuinely caring, which made our stay even more enjoyable. Breakfast wasn’t overly extensive, but it was well-prepared, satisfying, and perfectly sufficient. One of the highlights is the three swimming pools, especially the Olympic-size pool, which is truly impressive. The hotel offers a fully equipped fitness center and a wide range of activities, with Naam Wellness being a standout for relaxation and rejuvenation. The resort is very spacious, making it ideal for couples, families, and wellness-focused travelers. For guests staying farther from the main areas, EV golf carts are always available and convenient. This stay turned a special occasion into a truly warm and memorable experience 💖 We would absolutely love to come back again.

My first time in Krabi and it turned out to be the best experience! The room was beautiful and comfortable, and the service was truly outstanding. Everyone was so warm and welcoming. I especially loved NAAM Wellness and FAA Spa — it’s the perfect place to relax, recharge, and truly unwind. I left feeling refreshed and happy. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Krabi!

This hotel has good value for money and offers a wellness experience without the usual high price tag. The grounds have marked walking paths and the stairs give you calorie burn counts as you climb. There are also outdoor areas to do things like pull ups or circuits. The outdoor reflexology walkway is an added bonus! Then there are the activities - a daily schedule of things like yoga and pilates to fill your time, most of them free. There's a fully equipped muay thai area and though the classes are at a small fee, it's worth it! There are two breakfast restaurants and both offer serene nature views (mountains versus the sea). Breakfast quality is OK, but standouts were the soups and local fruits. The food at the cafe is on par with the good quality you can get outside, and we ended up trying their Thai menu a few times. The mocktails are also expertly crafted and some of the best I've ever had. There were a few slightly disappointing things, but the benefits far outweighed them. These were; the entire property being painted a dull grey with an industrial feel which took away from the natural surroundings; the beach club being a straight up party vibe with a DJ which contradicted the wellness feel of the hotel, and; the in-room amenities being limited and basic. Overall, because of the service, activities offered and price, I would recommend Varana for a stay.
