Phi Phi Island

Koh Phi Phi, known as Phi Phi Island, is one of the most famous destinations in Thailand thanks to its stunning natural beauty and a beach life that is second to none.

Famously featured in the Leonardo DiCaprio movie ‘The Beach’, Phi Phi Ley offers idyllic golden sands and crystalline waters, with Maya Bay’s limestone cliffs offering a slice of photogenic paradise.

Visitors can explore leopard sharks and other tropical marine life off Phi Phi Island through snorkelling and scuba diving excursions, whilst those looking to indulge in pure relaxation can simply enjoy the world-class beaches of the Island. At night, the resort comes alive with the bars, restaurants and clubs of Tonsai Village and Tonsai Beach offering hours of holiday fun. Phi Phi Island also contains some more laid-back resorts, meaning that the island has great appeal to backpackers, families, honeymooners and solo travellers alike.
