A Soothing Getaway to the Best of Koh Phi Phi: Find Your Perfect Piece of Paradise.
Nestled away in the tropical paradise of the south of Thailand, Koh Phi Phi is the idyllic island destination that many travellers find themselves seeking out. With its rocky outcrops and stunning beaches, pearly whites sands, azure turquoise waters, and stunning backdrop of jagged limestone cliffs, the area offers a stunning setting for a perfect break away from the hustle and bustle of modern life. But what really makes Koh Phi Phi so special is just how much it offers to visitors, no matter their style or preferences.
For history enthusiasts, Koh Phi Phi boasts several archaeological and historical sites, from the remnants of the original village of Phi Phi Ley, to the dramatic limestone chapel of Phi Phi Don, to the rocky outcrops littered with ancient Chinese pottery, and more. In terms of modern attractions, the area features excellent shopping opportunities – from the bustling markets of Tonsai Bay, to the eclectic shops and eateries of Longtail Beach. There are plenty of activities to be enjoyed, including fishing in the azure ocean waters, scuba diving, and kayaking in the emerald bays. Nature lovers will find plenty to discover too, from the abundant wildlife to the beautiful national parks with their lush foliage and wild orchids.
Of course, no trip to Koh Phi Phi would be complete without visiting some of its iconic beaches. On the west of the island, you’ll find two of the most popular beaches: Long Beach and Monkey Beach. Both offer excellent swimming, snorkelling and sunbathing, without the larger crowds of the other beaches. Head a little further north and you’ll find the twin beached of Maya Bay and Laem Tong – both of which have superb swimming areas and an abundance of scuba-diving locations.
The resorts and hotels in Koh Phi Phi are excellent for a bit of luxury. Most have private beach access and lovely views over the ocean, as well as access to fitness facilities and spas. The good news is there’s something for all budgets, from the cheaper bungalows to the more luxurious five-star resorts. For a real local experience, consider spending a few nights in one of the local guesthouses or campsites, or even one of the beach resorts on the south of the island.
If you’re looking for a getaway that lets you truly relax in a stunning environment, surrounded by welcoming locals and with plenty of opportunities for enjoying its natural beauty, then Koh Phi Phi is the perfect destination. With its stunning limestone cliffs, tranquil beaches, bustling markets, excellent eateries, and its wealth of cultural experiences, there’s something to suit every taste.
