Krabi (Thailand) – November 21, 2016 (travelindex) – ShellSea, a five-star resort on a white sand beach next to Krabi's famous fossilized shell beach, is expected to open in mid-December this year. Reservations are now being accepted. Prices for a Shellsea Garden Room start at 5,500 THB, plus an 18.70% service charge and government taxes. Book now until March 31 for stays from January 10 to April 30, 2017.

The price includes breakfast for two people, Wi-Fi internet access and a free shuttle bus to Aonang Beach, which runs twice daily according to a fixed timetable.

The beachfront resort offers 72 spacious guest rooms, 12 luxurious villas, and a grand villa with 180-degree panoramic views of the Andaman Sea. Amenities include a lap pool, a family pool, a spa, restaurants, a beach bar, and a selection of non-motorized water sports equipment. Guests can work out in the state-of-the-art fitness center with floor-to-ceiling windows and panoramic ocean views.

ShellSea is owned and managed by Aonang Ville Co Ltd. Aonang Ville Co Ltd also owns and operates Aonang Villa Resort, one of the most traditional resorts on Aonang Beach in Krabi.

“Our resort offers spacious rooms and luxurious villas that ensure maximum privacy,” said Mr. Chatchawan. “Our culinary concept is particularly appealing, and we offer recreational activities for couples, families, and small to medium-sized groups.” Chatchawan Pankudrua, Group General Manager of Aonang Ville Co., added: “We are pleased to present an attractive range of culinary delights. Our resort features a diverse range of recreational activities that appeal to couples, families, and small to medium-sized groups alike.”

"We also have a beautiful, small event space that is perfect for smaller meetings or celebrations."

"This is a very exclusive part of Krabi, and our location right on the beach as well as the proximity to the world-famous Shell Fossil Beach gives us a great advantage in attracting guests to the increasingly popular tourist destination of Krabi.

“Our sister resort in Aonang opened almost 30 years ago and consistently enjoys the highest occupancy rates in Krabi, so we are very confident in the potential of The ShellSea,” he said.

ShellSea is situated directly on a 300-meter-long white sandy beach, which is directly connected to the famous shell fossil slab, thus offering guests classic relaxation in a beach resort as well as the opportunity to explore one of Krabi's main attractions.

“Our sandy beach leads directly to the shell fossil beach, which is easily accessible on foot,” says Mr. Chatchawan. “Only two other fossil beaches of this kind are known worldwide, so it is a source of fascination for everyone.”

The elegant interior design of ShellSea for rooms, restaurants and public areas was designed by the Thailand-based August Design Consultant Co.

The guest rooms include sea-view and beachfront rooms, each with a private balcony; ground-floor rooms with direct pool access on the beach; Sea Villas, each with a private pool and terrace; and a Grand Villa with a private pool and 180-degree panoramic sea views from its beachfront location.

The Cerulean restaurant, open all day, is located in the lobby and serves breakfast as well as Thai and international cuisine on an outdoor terrace and in an air-conditioned dining room.

The Fin Bar and Restaurant is a beachfront restaurant with an outdoor terrace, serving grilled seafood, western dishes and a selection of light meals.

The resort is family-friendly and offers a kids' club, a pool for families with young children, and a separate 36-meter swimming pool for adults. The resort is discreetly divided into different zones, ensuring that couples and guests seeking privacy are not disturbed by families with young children.

The Otium Spa offers six treatment rooms in a separate building in the garden, as well as a fitness center on the spa building's rooftop terrace. Other leisure activities include jogging, yoga, billiards, kayaking, and windsurfing.

A free shuttle service is available to take guests to and from Aonang Beach and Krabi Town.
