Varana Hotel 

What's included

Breakfast at Nook

There are four swimming pools here, including an Olympic-sized pool and another dedicated to wellness, with a ten-step aqua therapy programme for guests to follow.

The Faa Spa features treatments that go beyond what you’d usually find at a hotel spa. An open-air Onsen provides oxygenated skincare, and a three-step Thai herbal steam ritual said to boost your emotional wellbeing and promote mental clarity.

Relaxation is complemented by an active lifestyle here, with Yogilates on offer as well as a gym and a one-kilometre outdoor walking trail.

Trek through the forests up Dragon Crest Mountain for 360° degree views, enjoy the challenge of the climbing wall or take a lesson in Thai boxing.

Dive into Krabi's first Olympic-size swimming pool. Here you can join a paddle-fit class to improve your core strength. The coastline and surrounding islands are famed for their white sandy beaches, coral reefs, diving and snorkelling opportunities.

The sustainability initiatives at Varana are wide-ranging. For instance, locally sourced food to reduce the carbon footprint associated with transport. Varana strives for zero waste, sorting leftover vegetables and eggshells to make fertilizer and fermenting lemons and orange peel, making them into citric acid or a multi-purpose cleaner.

Varana prioritises reducing chemical usage in its hotel and has built its own laundry facility to ensure they have control over the process and minimize environmental impact, using organic detergents and water is recycled for watering its trees through its wastewater treatment system.

An innovative system is used to manage the water supply. The system stores clean water underground, keeping the soil moist and promoting tree growth while reducing wasteful irrigation. To ensure the safety and cleanliness of the water supply, a cutting-edge nanotechnology system is used to process all water used in the hotel.
