A DELIGHTFUL ‘HOME FOR VISITORS’
Guarded by limestone cliffs, protected by the mighty Hang Nak Mountain, sheltered by seaward islands and bathed in sunshine, Tubkaak is indeed a delightful ‘home for visitors’.
Secluded and low-key with a sublime setting on the west coast of southern Thailand, this gorgeous boutique resort makes for a dreamy escape. Overlooking a pristine beach and the striking Hong Islands in Krabi, this is a place where you can chase your cares away while enjoying luxury accommodation, gourmet dining and the utmost privacy.
Blending beautifully into Krabi’s natural landscape, Tubkaak’s design reflects distinctive southern Thai architecture. During construction, all mature trees on the site were preserved, and the fresh water mountain allowed to run through the resort as it always has. Rooms and villas are designed to feel like home, with the addition of outdoor sunken baths for evening stargazing sessions. The distant islands provide shelter from the monsoon winds, creating safe, swimmable waters for guests to dip into year-round. Scuba diving, hiking and longboat trips to nearby islands are all options, as are pampering sessions in one of the cocooned treatment rooms at L’escape Spa.

We had a wonderful safari experience in South Luangwa, Zambia this September. Despite a few unexpected setbacks behind the scenes, everything ran seamlessly for us. Our driver and guide were outstanding, and the standard of accommodation was truly first class.
