Good to know
Sustainability is central to Rayavadee’s philosophy. The resort actively works to protect the environment through regular beach and ocean clean-ups, replacing single-use plastics with reusable materials and taking part in the annual Earth Hour. Its organic herb and vegetable garden supplies fresh ingredients for the kitchen and spa. On the neighbouring island of Koh Klang, guests can plant mangroves as part of an eco-tour and experience sustainable tourism first-hand. Rayavadee also champions local produce such as nutrient-rich Sangyod rice and serves a homemade welcome drink made with its own coconuts.
In keeping with this philosophy, Rayavadee recently received Travelife Gold certification for sustainable accommodation, the highest award in the Travelife certification programme for sustainable accommodation. This certification recognises the resort’s long-standing commitment to environmental awareness, social responsibility and sustainable practices.
A host of other awards reflect Rayavadee’s continued efforts to promote better, more sustainable ways to live, work and travel.
THE GARDEN AT RAYAVADEE
Rayavadee’s garden covers 26 hectares of tropical landscape in Krabi Marine National Park, surrounded by dramatic limestone cliffs. The resort’s garden is home to more than 120 species of plants and tropical trees, as well as over 250 species of ferns and medicinal plants. Some are edible and provide key ingredients for many traditional Thai recipes. The garden is also home to a variety of medicinal plants, including the sea lily, white bat flower and spiral flag, whose healing properties have been used for centuries in traditional Thai remedies for toothache, sore throats, stomach complaints and coughs. Other plants, such as the lotus, have religious significance and are used in Buddhist ceremonies and offerings.
