Diamond Cave Resort
Limestone cliffs, a pool, and Railay right outside.
A resort in Railay Beach
Diamond Cave Resort is a 3-star property on Railay Beach in Krabi Province, Thailand. It has a swimming pool, a bar, and a selection of bungalows and rooms suited to couples, solo travellers, and families. Rated 3.9/5 across more than 1,500 guest reviews, it consistently draws praise for its location, staff, and reliable free Wi-Fi. Railay is accessible only by boat, so the car-free environment is part of the deal here. The resort's airport shuttle takes some of the logistical pressure off arrival and departure days, and each room category has a balcony or patio facing garden or mountain views.
Who it's a good fit for
A straightforward beach resort with a pool, honest three-star comfort, and easy access to Railay's limestone landscape.
Best for
- Families needing two beds
- Couples on a Krabi beach trip
- Travellers who want a pool without a luxury price tag
- Groups of up to four sharing a bungalow
Less suited to
- Travellers expecting four- or five-star facilities
- Those wanting to arrive by car or private transfer
The pool and surrounding grounds
The outdoor swimming pool is the social centre of the resort. Several bungalow categories look directly onto it, and the karst cliffs that define Railay form a backdrop that no pool designer could replicate.
Bungalow-style accommodation
Most room types here are standalone or semi-detached bungalows with private patios or balconies. Views lean toward the garden and mountain, giving rooms a greener, quieter character than a beachfront block would.
Mountain and garden views
Railay's limestone peaks rise sharply on all sides. From balconies and patios at the resort, the cliffs are visible without obstruction. Standard, Deluxe, Family, and four-adult Bungalow rooms all face garden or mountain aspects.
