Staying in Phi Phi Don

Phi Phi Don is the inhabited half of the Phi Phi islands, and almost everything happens on the narrow isthmus that joins its two halves. Ton Sai Village is the arrival point, the commercial centre and the busiest corner of the island, with the highest concentration of shops, restaurants and nightlife, while Loh Dalum Bay lies a short walk away with a longer beach and calmer water. Beaches, snorkelling, diving, hiking and rock climbing draw most visitors, and the viewpoints on the isthmus look over both bays.

The hotels on this list sit right across that isthmus and its edges. Phi Phi Villa Resort, Panmanee Hotel, Phi Phi Andaman Beach Resort, Phi Phi Island Cabana Hotel and Phi Phi Andaman Legacy Resort are all within 1 km of the centre, convenient for the ferries and for evenings out. Phi Phi The Beach Resort (2 km), Phi Phi Phu Chalet Resort (2.7 km) and PP Erawan Palms Resort (4.3 km) trade that convenience for quieter sand and sea views. Couples and divers are well served by the beach properties, families by the resorts with pools and family rooms, and short-break visitors by the village hotels.

Plan your stay

Getting there and around

Phi Phi Don has no airport. Most visitors arrive by ferry from Phuket or Krabi, with services from both provinces. From Krabi, ferries depart from Klong Jilad Pier and take about 1.5 to 2 hours. From Phuket, ferries leave from Rassada Pier and take around 2 hours. Speedboat services are also available. Once on the island there are no cars or motorbikes: getting around is done on foot or by bicycle, paths connect the main areas, and longtail boats can be hired for trips to nearby beaches and islands.

When to go

The dry season, from November to April, brings sunny weather and calm seas, ideal for swimming, snorkelling and diving. December to February are the peak months and the busiest. The monsoon season runs from May to October, with occasional heavy rain and rougher seas; some boat services may be limited, but crowds thin. Check weather forecasts before planning boat trips.
