Rayavadee
This exclusive resort has sprawling grounds that are filled with banyan trees and flowers, dotted with meandering ponds, and navigated by golf buggies. It’s arguably one of the best hunks of beachfront property in Thailand.
Railay Phutawan Resort
This place doesn’t really know its name yet (it’s also called the Railay Phurit Valley Resort and the Highland Resort), so just call it a great place to stay.
Dream Valley Resort
Bamboo bungalows are as rustic as the rest around here while wooden ones with terracotta tiled bathrooms are a step up in comfort. A new block of rather pricey air-con rooms was under construction when we visited.
Sand Sea Resort
The lowest-priced resort on this beach offers everything from ageing fan-only bungalows to newly remodelled cottages with every amenity.
Anyavee
A quirky resort but one with more style than most on this beach. Bungalows here have lots of windows making them bright but not private. Interiors are country chic, with cream-and-beige plaid duvets and plenty of hardwoods.
Railei Beach Club
Hidden in forested grounds at the northern end of the beach, this is a collection of Thai-style homes, each unique in size and design, rented out on behalf of foreign owners.
Sunrise Tropical Resort
Bungalows here rival the better ones on Hat Railay West but are priced for Hat Railay East – so we think this is one of the best deals in Railay.
Andaman Nature Resort
A very shabby outfit back in the jungle but this place also manages the old bamboo Mambo bungalows, and these are the closest budget offerings to the beach.
Ton Sai Bay Resort
The poshest option on Ton Sai is also the busiest and the only one fully established on the beach (although only the restaurant is beachfront). Big, concrete bungalows with terraces are comfy although a little dated.
Diamond Private Resort
Although the name sounds a bit like a strip joint, Diamond Private is a family-friendly resort with a swimming pool high on the hilltop with a deck that sports great views of the bay below.
Highland Resort
In the middle of a natural basin above Hat Rai Leh East, you'll find spacious, bamboo, stilted bungalows with stylish, elongated glass windows, mosquito net and fan.
Railay Bay Resort & Spa
The amoeba-shaped blue pool here faces onto the best bit of the beach, so you can switch between salt and fresh water.
Diamond Cave Resort
It's pretty cheesy and the grounds are heavy on the concrete but these air-conditioned bungalows, up a hill and well off the beach, are OK if elsewhere is full.
Rapala Rockwood Resort
Ramshackle bamboo bungalows have verandahs, bathrooms, mosquito nets and fans. The delightful location atop a hill means breezes and views of the sea (and your neighbours).
Rapala Cabana
Superbly located deep in the jungle and high in the hills in a bowl of karst cliff, this uber-rustic, Rasta-run place is the cheapest place to crash in Railay.
Railay Cabana
Superbly located high in the hills in a bowl of karst cliffs, this is your hippy tropical mountain hideaway. Simple, clean thatched-bamboo bungalows are surrounded by mango, mangosteen, banana and guava groves.
Railay Ya Ya Resort
The large wooden-panelled rooms are a bit dark, and some seem to shudder with every footstep, but the treehouse vibe works. Fan-cooled rooms are dingy but the air-con rooms are brightly painted, clean and good value.
Bhu Nga Thani
The newest, splashiest and easily the priciest spot on Railay East. The entry is elegant with louvred bridges over reflection pools.
