Where to start? Six Senses Krabey Island is the definition of paradise. My parents and I planned a two week trip in March 2020 where we would travel to Cambodia and Vietnam, The Six Senses was not one of our planned destinations. Due to the recent global pandemic, the Vietnam side of our trip had to be cancelled. Two days before our departure from the UK, my father contacted Ateeb with regards to us redirecting our second half of the trip to Krabey Island, and he was more than helpful, making us feel very welcome. We stayed at Six Senses for 6 nights in the end, and what a fantastic time we had. The staff were friendly and caring, the food was fantastic, and the whole island itself where the resort is based is beyond magnificent. We enjoyed our stay so much, we were deeply considering staying for a month as we just did not want to go home. Our only tiny complaint is the main pool requires a thorough cleaning, however due to each villa having its own private pool and the Gulf of Thailand at the end of your fingertips, we did not see this as a disruption. We hope to revisit Six Senses Krabey Island when we are next heading East, and encourage anyone who has the opportunity to go and experience this breathtaking resort. A massive thank you to all the staff including Ateeb, Andre, Gem and Jessy for being so overly welcoming to myself and my parents. No question was ever too much to ask. We hope to see you all again soon!…
Beautiful hotel isolated in a private island just 5 minutes by speed boat from the mainland. Very nice staff always with a smile. The hotel has 40 villas with simple but cozy decor and beautiful private pools with a nice view. Small and rocky beach but with amazing warm sea water. All the food from the breakfast till diner in both of the hotel restaurants is delicious. Wines are a bit expensive. Beautiful spa and gym.
We stayed for 4 nights in December at Six Senses Krabey Island and we loved it!!! The place is truly beautiful, the atmosphere is very serene (own private island, just 40 something villas, Six Senses ethos with a focus on sustainability, luxurious but laid back...), the amenities are great (swimming pool with views over the sunset, spa, yoga, beach...), the water around the island is pristine (superb snorkelling over the reef just a few meters away from the beach, paddle board, kayak), the service was fantastic (very friendly and efficient), the villas (lots of space, some with direct access to the sea) blend well into the nature etc. We had been to Six Senses Yao Noi in Thailand 2 years ago - which we loved - and we were even more blown away by Krabey Island. We loved it so much that we didn't feel the need to be venturing too much outside and we did only one excursion whilst staying there (a jungle walk on the nearby island, very pleasant). To be fair, we were also lucky to come before the Christmas high season and the resort was far from full, so we sometimes felt we had the place to ourselves! But arguably, there are not a lot of villas anyway and plenty of space for everybody, even at full capacity. My only small criticism is re: the variety of food (and maybe also the quality sometimes): only a short menu and very similar between the various restaurants/options, hence a lack of options if one stays more than a few days.…
My friend and I stayed at the resort for 3 nights, but wish we could have stayed longer! The resort is beautiful, the staff are so nice, and the level of service is very high. This was our first stay at a Six Senses resort and couldn’t recommend it more highly. We joked while we were there that we had found paradise! We were met at the airport by a Six Senses representative who had cold towels and water in the van. We drove about 10-15 minutes to the Six Senses dock, where staff was waiting with delicious welcome drinks. The welcome center is beautiful, and we knew from then on we’d have an amazing time! Once we got to the island we had an easy check in and were shown around the resort. All of the facilities at the resort showcase nature and indoor-outdoor living. Indoor and outdoor spaces take advantage of the views and are all beautifully designed with high quality finishes. The whole villa could be controlled from an iPad! The service was amazing. My friend mentioned to Jessie, the sustainability manager, on our first night that we had seen monkeys and an interesting looking bird at our villa. The next morning at breakfast, Jessie brought over the resort’s bird watching guide. Wait staff remembered our names and our orders and were so kind and attentive; our water glasses were always full. Am, the front desk manager, was also so nice to talk to and very friendly. Anything we needed was taken care of quickly and with a smile. The food was delicious, fresh and beautifully presented. The resort makes/grows a lot of ingredients themselves. The in-villa dining always arrived promptly. We especially enjoyed watching the sunset at the Sunset Bar. The drinks and bar snacks were really good and the bartenders were very friendly. Be sure to eat ice cream in the afternoon! We enjoyed the green tea ice cream and raspberry sorbet but you can get as many flavors and scoops as you want! The food and drinks overall were outstanding. Our one, extremely minor, piece of feedback, which we’ve seen noted elsewhere, would be to include the water at lunch and dinner in some other charge (or make it free). Water is free at breakfast, at the beach/pool and in your villa, so it’s a bit annoying for there to be a charge for it at lunch/dinner. We could not recommend this resort any more highly. We were so sad to leave and already hoping to return!…
Having stayed at Six senses Con Dao last year and had a great experience, we wanted to try another resort. Crabby island was even better. From the arrival experience by boat to the first class fitness centre, everything had been carefully thought through to maximize the guest experience with emphasis on wellness, sustainability, and luxurious tranquility. The pool villas are superb and well laid out, providing maximum privacy but still with ample sea views. The restaurants and bar were great, with ample choice and great tasting food from Chef Todd and his brigade. For us the highlights included the fitness centre, ocean-side boardwalk (a must at sunrise) and the spa. Every day we had treatments and were never disappointed. One of the best spa experiences we have ever had. Kudos to GM Ateeb and team. He was highly visible and engaged with the guests and ensured that personalized service from his team was led from them front. We highly recommend and already have spoken of returning.…
