Opened in January 2006, the KRABI TROPICAL BEACH RESORT (formerly known as K.T. Bay Resort) is one of the few resorts with direct beach access in the area of Ao Nang and Ao-Namao.
It offers the perfect location to relax and to spend a memorable time here in Krabi. Our resort is located in a very private and quiet surroundings, sharing this whole beach with only another single eco resort .
Privacy can be assured at our resort since we only offer 15 units. If you like it quiet and far away from the crowds, this is the right place. Our small resort suits young families as well as couples and all friends of nature, but is far from entertaining and shopping (Ao Nang 6 km).
The Beach of Ao-Namao is located directly at our doorstep, providing a breathtaking view over the surrounding islands and the famous rock formations. You may also want to watch the long tail boats departing for the famous Rayavadee Resort at Railay Beach.
During low tide (no typical swimming beach, cf. beach pictures) you can relax in our SALT TREATED SWIMMING POOL (minimal amount of chlorine), enjoy the fantastic view in our beach front jacuzzi and have your children play in the sand or kids pool.
Our family-friendly resort is just a 5-minute drive away from the famous main tourist centre Ao Nang. Within a few minutes you can reach the Islands PODA and CHICKEN as well as the popular SANDBANKS and the famous RAILAY BEACH by boat.
At our resort we offer you FREE OF CHARGE onside facilities and services such as high speed internet at the lobby, mountain bikes and kayak.
Our resort offers WiFi internet access at all areas at reasonable prices.
At our TOUR DESK you can book various trips and activities such as diving, snorkeling, rafting, elephant- and horseback riding, rock climbing, Thai cooking classes as well as pampering massages.
Our FREE OF CHARGE TRANSFER SERVICE from/to Ao Nang (once daily) as well as the local busses that depart every 15 minutes, are offering a good connection to the tourist sites Ao Nang and Krabi Town.

Lavinia House
Opened in 1996, it was the first Guesthouse in Ao Nang. There was a huge demand for rooms and breakfast.Upon many requests of visitors 'walking in', we just had to open our private beach houses for the visitors.The building at the front road has become our well-known Lavinia Restaurant & Bakery and our two houses behind the front building are now known as Lavinia Guesthouse.
Dawn of Happiness Beach Resort
The Eco Resort 'Dawn of Happiness' was founded by Thom Henley about two decades ago.
When he decided to move on in 2002, the resort was taken over by the owners of Krabi Tropical Beach Resort.Nearly no changes were made and the resort remained in a natural setting, which also means that comfort might be lacking for some visitors.The small bungalows are kept very simple without western comfort and standard norms. Instead, the visitor will find herself in a lush green, very natural surrounding without the noise of a TV or cooling fridge. The bungalows are not equipped with hot water showers and the toilets are very simple, although some bungalows offer a cooling air-condition.For natural lovers, this is absolutely a paradise, for comfort seeking people, this place might be a nightmare.
The resort is managed by a Thai lady (Pee Sa or Pa Sa), who was one of the lucky people that had a chance to learn how to cook and blend the world's best recipes with one of owners of Krabi Tropical.

The Views' by Lavinia Italian & Thai Beach Restaurant & Bar
Located at the beach road of Ao Nang, Lavinia House & Cafe opened in 1996. It was the first Cafe on the beach road and since then we have been trying to improve the standards in Ao Nang, using only imported and the best ingredients available on the local market. We have then re-opened the place as Lavinia Bakery, Pizzeria and Restaurant.
Not satisfied with the quality and taste of some supplied products, we started to produce our own pastry and fresh pasta.
For our bakery, we imported a professional German Stone oven (Winkler Wachtel) - croissants for instance taste good baked in such an oven only- and the first and only stone oven in Krabi from Italy, Modena.We believe that Pizzas made in wood-fired ovens do not meet international health and hygiene standards, especially if not built by professionals.
*** IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT ...... WE WILL MOVE ***
Lavinia Restaurant will move to the beach! Re-opening as Lavinia by the Sea our famous restaurant will be located directly at the beach of Ao Namao, just 6 km from Ao Nang Beach. Offering a wider range of Thai and Seafood, we will offer free transport service from our old spot in Ao Nang to Ao Namao.
However, we will still operate a small Lavinia to Go, offering quick and delicious pasta meals, sandwiches, smoothies and coffees to go.
