Overview
This is the resort in Krabi's own Pai Plong Bay, around the headland from Ao Nang — long known as Centara Grand Beach Resort & Villas Krabi and now redesigned and rebranded by Centara as Centara Reserve Krabi. Take care not to confuse it with Centara Ao Nang Beach Resort & Spa Krabi, a separate Centara hotel roughly two kilometres away on the Ao Nang strip. Centara's own key facts put the reimagined resort at 120 suites and villas, fewer than the 192 keys its April 2024 factsheet listed, across deluxe rooms, pool suites, family duplexes and beachfront pool villas. As of August 2026 Centara's own page says reservations are opening soon rather than open, so the indicative monthly figures below are the historic long-stay range for the property and not a currently published rate — confirm directly before planning a stay. Ao Nang itself has the province's widest choice of everyday rentals — see the Ao Nang area guide.
BAANLYY is a data-and-tools platform, not the property's broker or operator — listings are not guaranteed unless from a verified partner. Krabi has very limited freehold condo stock, so confirm tenure, foreign-ownership quota and current pricing before committing to any purchase or long stay.
