SAii Phi Phi Island Village

Reached by boat across the sparkling waters of the Andaman Sea, Koh Phi Phi has long been a classic Thai island stop-off. This is the Thailand of popular imagination, complete with long-tail boats framed by craggy limestone peaks, tropical jungle and white sandy beaches. SAii Phi Phi Island Village is a small, secluded resort on a private, 800-metre stretch of pristine beach, backed by 70 acres of coconut palms.

Individual bungalows are scattered around the coconut plantation or perched on the hillside to reflect the style of a traditional Thai village. We especially love the Hillside Pool Villas, whose spacious terraces and private pools offer some of the best sea views in Asia. If you need space for the whole family then opt for the two-bedroom Oceanview Hillside Pool Villa, complete with indoor whirlpool, outdoor swing, generous private pool, two king-size beds and sofa beds for kids.

Dining and entertainment reflect the laidback vibe of Koh Phi Phi. Restaurants are all close to the water and offer an excellent selection of Thai, Asian and international dishes, including freshly grilled seafood sustainably caught in the surrounding waters. Kayaking, diving and snorkelling are all world class, there’s an excellent hillside spa, plus a Marine Discovery Centre developed around the UN’s sustainability goals.
