Tropical Shores of Krabi

If you’ve been dreaming of white-sand beaches, turquoise waters, and the kind of luxury that makes you instantly relax, then this Thai escape is for you. Flying with Etihad Airways, combine pure indulgence with a touch of adventure, this 10-night getaway to Krabi offers the best of both worlds – serene days in a five-star pool villa and unforgettable moments exploring one of Thailand’s most beautiful national parks.

Tropical Shores of Krabi

Arrival

Begins your journey with flights from Dublin via Abu Dhabi with Etihad Airways, bringing you to the tropical haven of Krabi. On arrival, your private transfer will whisk you to the Banyan Tree Krabi, where you’ll spend nine luxurious nights in a Partial Ocean Pool Suite with breakfast included. This five-star resort, tucked between emerald jungle and the turquoise Andaman Sea, is the perfect base for both relaxation and adventure.

Why Krabi?

Krabi is Thailand at its most enchanting – dramatic limestone cliffs rising straight out of the sea, secluded lagoons accessible only by boat, and islands scattered like jewels across the horizon. Unlike its busier neighbour Phuket, Krabi offers a more laid-back atmosphere while still delivering the very best of Thai hospitality, cuisine, and scenery.

Experiences Included

During your stay, you’ll enjoy a full-day guided excursion to Cheow Lan Lake in Khao Sok National Park. Known as Thailand’s “Guilin” for its towering limestone karsts, this magical lake is surrounded by rainforest alive with exotic wildlife. Spend the day boating through emerald waters, swimming, and soaking up the tranquillity of one of Thailand’s most unspoilt landscapes.
