Phi Phi Holiday Resort

This beautiful Hat Laem Thong resort is designed to make you forget the rest of the world. It sits along a pristine, powdery-white private stretch of beach, fringed by palm trees and facing the stunning blue expanse of the Andaman sea. Like most resorts in this part of the island, it is completely remote, accessible only by boat, placing you worlds away from the rowdy nightlife in Ton Sai.

All the rooms are modern and elegant, combining dark polished woods with comfortable furnishings. However, if you’re going to enjoy Phi Phi in style, you might as well go all out. Opt for a private beachfront bungalow to wake up every morning with the sound of the waves, or book one of the new hilltop Ocean Sunset Villas. These come with your own pool and a deck from which you can enjoy the best sunsets on the island in complete privacy.

There are three pools to choose from, including two gorgeous infinity pools, as well as a range of activities to keep you busy during the day such as yoga, Thai cooking classes, and Muay Thai boxing. The resort can also help you discover the beauty of Phi Phi with experiences like diving, snorkelling, island hopping, and even fishing. If you like to keep up your workouts on vacation, there’s a compact but well-equipped gym sitting among the tropical gardens. Then, wind down with a massage, either in the spa or right on the beach.

You may not be able to get to the bars on the other side of the island, but that doesn’t mean there is nothing to do at night. The resort boasts several great bars and restaurants, from the low-key beachfront Mongthalay Bar to Cha Bah, where you can dine on fresh grilled seafood with your feet in the sand.
