The Elements Krabi Resort
Tucked away in the quieter Nong Thale area of Krabi, The Elements Krabi Resort operates as a full-service resort hotel with spa facilities, restaurant dining, and spacious accommodations suited to couples, families, and solo travellers alike. The property is consistently praised for its cleanliness, well-maintained grounds, and calm atmosphere — qualities that set it apart from busier, more tourist-heavy parts of the region. Guests can expect generously sized rooms with reliable air conditioning, attentive and friendly staff, and a peaceful setting that encourages genuine rest. Families travelling with children have noted that the team is particularly welcoming with young guests. The resort also benefits from its own restaurant, making it easy to settle in without needing to venture out for every meal. While some reviewers note that certain areas of the property show signs of wear, the overall standard of upkeep and cleanliness is frequently highlighted as a strength. Good to know: The resort sits outside central Krabi, which works in its favour for travellers prioritising quiet over convenience — but those planning to visit beaches such as Ao Nang or take island-hopping day trips should arrange their own transport, as the location is not within walking distance of major attractions. Booking accommodation in advance is advisable during peak season, which runs from November through February, when Krabi sees its highest visitor numbers.

Visitor Reviews
Wonderful Stay Despite a Chaotic Travel Situation Thank you so much to the whole team at Element Resort in Krabi. We finally made it back to Dubai after several consecutive flight cancellations due to the difficult situation in the Middle East. During that stressful time, the resort staff were incredibly helpful and understanding. They assisted us with our unexpected daily extensions and even our sudden checkout without any hesitation. We truly appreciated their kindness and flexibility. They even refunded our last night because we had to urgently leave for Bangkok to catch another flight with a different airline. It was a chaotic travel experience for us, but the resort made everything much easier and less stressful. The place itself is beautiful and perfect for relaxation. The beach is nearby, and there are cozy restaurants around the area. The rooms are very comfortable, spacious, and well designed , even the standard rooms feel like a suite, all at a very reasonable price. Most importantly, the staff are incredibly accommodating and friendly. They genuinely guide and assist you with everything you need. A special thank you to Joanna (or Joan) from the front desk who helped me so much, along with the entire team. I truly loved my stay here and will definitely come back in the future. I highly recommend this resort to anyone visiting Krabi. Thank you, Element Resort team , you are the best!
We had a wonderful stay at this hotel with our family. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and especially kind and playful with our kids, which truly made our stay extra special. The rooms were spacious, spotless, and cleaned daily. The quiet, peaceful location and lovely pool area made it very relaxing, and the breakfast was excellent with plenty of options for everyone. Outstanding value for money and easily one of our favorite stays in Thailand. On the downside, the restaurant prices are a bit high. Also, the location is quite remote. There are two small local restaurants and a 7-Eleven within walking distance, but for more choice you need a taxi to reach the main village with more restaurants and bars. The hotel does offer free bicycles and scooter rentals are available nearby, but with small kids these aren’t really practical options. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it, especially for families looking for a quiet and comfortable place, as long as you’re aware that you’ll need transport to get around.
This accomodation is good value for money. The rooms are spacious, the air conditioning is good, and it’s nice and quiet. The resort is looking a little tired - for example, visible damage on the sun loungers, cracked concrete, in need of a repaint. However, the resort grounds are lush, with a lovely pool, and a very relaxing vibe. The breakfast was good for the price, and there was a 7/11 very close by. The restaurant itself was only ok. This resort is relatively isolated and there are not many other restaurants nearby in walking distance, unless you got a grab. It was about 20 minutes drive to Ao Nang and the grabs were usually between 200-400 baht depending on the time of day. Because of the location, it sometimes took 10 minutes or so for a grab to arrive, and sometimes only premium grabs were available. This resort is good for people who want a quiet resort on a budget, and are happy commute into the main town.
Tips for Visiting Wellness & Spas
Learn Wat Pho First
Wat Pho in Bangkok is the birthplace of traditional Thai massage education. Their on-site massage pavilion offers excellent treatments from students and graduates at reasonable prices — and you know the technique is authentic.
Communicate Pressure Preferences
Thai massage can be intense. Say 'bao bao' for lighter pressure or 'nак nак' for harder. A good therapist will check in, but don't hesitate to speak up — suffering in silence defeats the purpose.
Book Longer Sessions
A 60-minute massage is fine, but 90 or 120 minutes allows the therapist to work thoroughly. The price difference is often only 200–400 THB for an extra hour — worth it for a deeper, more relaxing experience.
