 Constructed in 2004, this is the first boutique all-suite resort on Phi Phi Island, authentically recreating the rural style of a southern Thai village. The concept of simple rustic charm is designed to create an atmosphere of traditional local hospitality, as if guests are being hosted in a private home. This principle extends to all the elements of the hotel, from the service and dining to the spa, which offers treatments and therapies performed according to the rituals and traditions of ancient Siam. The resort offers a total of 48 accommodation units and a wide range of facilities, including an entrance hall with 24-hour reception, tour desk and concierge service. It also provides a hotel safe, currency exchange facilities, a bar, a restaurant, Internet access (charges apply), room and laundry services and a playground.
The hotel is situated on the quiet northern coast, on a prime stretch of long, white-sand beachfront on one of the Phi Phi Islands. Maya Bay is just 40 minutes away on public transport, while guests can reach both Tonsai Bay and Bamnoo Island within around half an hour. It is only an hour by speedboat from either Phuket or Krabi and 2/2.5 hours by ferry.
All villas are laid out in the style of a Thai village from bygone times, combining an extraordinary level of luxury and a wide range of amenities behind a rustic facade. Villas are available in 3 categories: Beachfront Suite, Garden Suite and Village Suite. Each unit comes fully equipped with an en suite bathroom with hairdryer, direct dial telephone, satellite/cable television, hi-fi system, Internet access, minibar and tea and coffee making facilities.
