Hotels in Ao Nang Beach, Krabi
Ao Nang is the main tourist town in Krabi, with the widest selection of hotels, restaurants, and tour agencies in the area. Most hotels are within walking distance of the beach and the main strip of shops and bars. The beach itself isn’t Krabi’s best (Railay is nicer), but Ao Nang works well as a base because longtail boats to Railay, the islands, and other beaches leave from here.
Hotels range from beachfront 5-stars to budget guesthouses on the back streets. The closer to the beach, the higher the price. Some of the inland resorts are set against limestone cliffs with their own pools, which can be a good trade-off if you don’t need to be on the sand.
Centara Grand Beach Resort & Villas
Centara Grand is a 5-star beachfront resort on a private section of Ao Nang Beach. Tropical gardens, multiple pools, full spa, fitness centre. Rooms, suites, and villas available, all with modern amenities. Several dining options including an all-day restaurant, beach bar, and pool bar.
One of the more upmarket options in Ao Nang. Railay Beach is a short longtail ride away. Good for families or couples who want resort facilities without leaving the property.
