An Andaman Surprise in Krabi



Situated in a quiet corner of tranquil Tubkaek Beach and facing a spectacular panoramic vista of uninhabited limestone islets, Banyan Tree Krabi is an idyllic venue for a special Valentine’s evening surprise. The resort’s beachfront lawn provides an intimate setting for couples with a candlelit dinner under the moonlight. On February 14th, for one night only, the resort offers an outstanding “Scent of Love” 5-course set dinner (9,900 THB per couple, inclusive of one bottle of sparkling wine). An amuse-bouche of crispy beer-battered oyster and rose jam is followed by homemade smoked beet-cured Salmon Gravlax, served with black caviar and salad. After soup and a sorbet, the main dish will be roasted Wagyu Beef Tenderloin Embraces Slow-Braised Beef Cheek in Red Wine Sauce, Asparagus, Truffle Purée, Risotto and Brandy Beef Jus or, alternatively, a fish dish which includes Krabi lobster. The meal will be rounded off with delightful sweets and fresh berries, and, hopefully, some memorable moments of magic.
