SAii Phi Phi Island Village is a totally tropical island resort, superbly located.
SAii Phi Phi Island Village is a good, superior first-class resort with extensive facilities, super beach, and a genuine feeling of tropical escapism.
It is located within 70 acres of a coconut plantation, with an 800 m beachfront.
SAii Phi Phi Island Village is located on Phi Phi Don, which is the largest and most populated of the 6 islands that make up the Phi Phi group. Only two have full-time residents of more than 30 people. The total group has a local population of below 4,000, but this trebles at least in the peak tourist season.
Just to put things in scale, Phi Phi Don is 8 miles long and 3 miles wide and offers limestone mountains, forests, caves, small villages—and of course beaches. From the air it can resemble a butterfly with a long strand of beach connecting the ”wings.” It is on this strand that you find most of the island bars and nightlife activity. SAii is located across the island on the east coast, about 40 minutes by long-tail boat, or you can cycle along the pathway. Cars are still a rarity.
Phi Phi Don is located 25 miles southeast of Phuket and 18 miles west of Krabi. Most travelers will arrive by speedboat from Phuket, which takes about 65 minutes, daylight transfers.
SAii Phi Phi Island Village has 189 traditional thatched-roof Thai bungalows.
You have a choice of:
- Superior Garden View (45 sqm), larger deluxe and premium versions (50 & 59 sqm).
- Deluxe Sea View, Deluxe Jr. Suites (79 sqm with integrated living area).
- In addition, there are 12 one and two-bedroom Hillside Villas with private pool and spectacular views overlooking the resort and bay below.

The Phi Phi Islands became famous by attracting backpackers from around the world, turned on by the great beaches & the laid-back traditional style.
The film The Beach, made in 2000, further advertised the islands, with Maya Bay on neighboring Phi Phi Leh as the main location—it is just a short speedboat ride away from the resort.
This relaxed vibe is still the main drawing point, but SAii Phi Phi Island Village allows you to stay in considerably more comfort. It is not luxurious in maybe the usual sense, as the design style—mainly wood and thatch—is intended to reflect island simplicity. It is quite a large resort in both acreage and rooms, but this means the facilities are also extensive.
We particularly suggest a twin centre with Phuket, staying at the SAii Laguna Resort—a rather nice combination.
