About Sofitel Krabi Phokeethra Golf & Spa Resort
- The par-28 course, 1,495 yards from the white tees, rises from the beach through water and jungle, a rare sea-to-forest hotel layout in Thailand.
- Khlong Muang Beach sits off the main Krabi circuit, so the shoreline facing Koh Hong stays among the quieter Andaman stretches.
- Entry-level rooms start at 484 sq ft (45 m²).
History
Sofitel Krabi Phokeethra Golf & Spa Resort opened in 2013 on Khlong Muang Beach in Nong Thale, between the Andaman and the forested slopes of Naga Head Mountain. A par-28, nine-hole course climbs from the sand through lakes and streams; Koh Hong sits offshore. The 276-room house is a 14-kilometre hop from livelier Ao Nang, with the Phokeethra Spa on the same grounds.
The setting
Sofitel Krabi Phokeethra Golf and Spa Resort sits at 200 Moo 3, Nong Thale, on Khlong Muang Beach, a tranquil Andaman shoreline where outlying islands including Koh Hong dot the horizon and golden sand is barely a minute's walk from the lobby. Pressed between the beach and the forested slopes of Naga Head Mountain, the resort incorporates Thailand's finest 9-hole golf course — a par-28 layout climbing from shoreline through lakes and streams. Designed with colonial tropical elegance blending French art de vivre with Thai hospitality, the property commands sweeping sea views. Nearby landmark resorts confirm Nong Thale as Krabi's premier luxury address, with Krabi International Airport reachable in around 40 minutes.
