Phi Phi Island Resort
Barefoot luxury meets Southern Thai culture. Think handcrafted rattan and teak, soft open-air layouts, sand paths between villas, and a pace set by the tides rather than a schedule. Evenings bring live Thai musicians on the beach. It's intimate, eco-conscious, and properly remote.
Book the speedboat transfer directly through the resort — departs Royal Phuket Marina at 2pm, arrives ~3pm. Arrive at the marina by 1:30pm for check-in.
Why It Matters
One of very few resorts operating inside Hat Noppharat Thara-Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park, where development is strictly controlled. Boat-only access means no day-trippers wandering through. The property carries the soul of the former Zeavola Resort — a cult favorite for repeat guests — while adding OUTRIGGER's infrastructure and the GHA DISCOVERY loyalty program. The indigenous Urak Lawoi community's heritage is woven directly into the welcome rituals and design.
OUTRIGGER Phi Phi Island Resort sits on Laem Tong Beach on the northern tip of Phi Phi Don — inside a protected national park, reachable only by boat. It's the reimagined version of the beloved Zeavola Resort, reopened under OUTRIGGER in May 2026 after a full renovation. Sixty-three suites and villas, limestone cliffs rising from jade water, no cars, and a design philosophy rooted in the Thai concept of 'Nit Thra' — the soul of rest.
Where You'll Stay
4 room types available
Beachfront Pool Suite
A suite-level option positioned steps from Laem Tong Beach with a private pool. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the sea, and the open layout is designed specifically for romance and relaxation. Contemporary island elegance with refined furnishings.
Beachfront Pool Villa
Positioned directly on the sand with a private pool. Step from your terrace straight onto the beach — the most direct connection to the water on the property. 32-inch LCD TV with satellite channels, DVD player, eco-friendly toiletries, hair dryer, bathrobes, and slippers.
Family Garden Villa
Wrapped in tropical gardens rather than facing the sea directly, making it better suited for families who want privacy and green surroundings over front-row water views. Spacious layout with separate sitting areas and all the same handcrafted design touches as the other villa categories.
Hilltop Ocean View Pool Villa
Elevated on the hillside with a private infinity pool and sweeping, uninterrupted views of the Andaman Sea. The best views on the property — though it means a short uphill walk from the beach. Natural light, handcrafted furnishings, organic textiles, and woven motifs inspired by local island craft traditions.

On Property
How you'll actually spend your days.
The resort's dedicated kids' retreat offering structured activities and weekly programs for younger guests. Paired with a teen zone for older children.
Eco-sensitive boat excursions to islands and coves that see limited visitor traffic within the protected national park. Includes access to areas near Maya Bay and the wider Phi Phi archipelago.
Private long-tail boat picnics through the mangrove channels of the Phi Phi archipelago, traveling at a pace that suits the landscape. One of the more special on-water experiences — slow, personal, and far from the tourist crowd.
A fully equipped gym with modern fitness equipment. Available 24 hours per day per OTA listings. Adjacent to the lap/fitness pool in the resort's wellness zone.
A dedicated open-air yoga sala in the wellness zone for morning and daytime classes, adjacent to the fitness center and lap pool.
Guided sunrise yoga on the beach, honoring the stillness of early morning on the Andaman Sea. Part of the resort's 'island the Thai way' wellness programming.
Kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and snorkeling equipment available for guests to explore the calm waters around Laem Tong Beach at their own pace.
Expert-led PADI-certified scuba diving excursions to coral formations within the national park, where sea turtles, manta rays, and reef sharks are regular sightings. Open to beginners and experienced divers alike. Note: the Dive Centre was still completing final fit-out as of the May 2026 soft opening.
Guided snorkeling trips directly from the beach into Laem Tong Bay's clear waters. One of the more accessible coral reef spots in the Phi Phi archipelago, right on the resort's doorstep.
Private cooking lessons with resort chefs by the sea, focused on Southern Thai techniques and coastal ingredients. A hands-on way to take some of the flavors home.
Traditional bead-making sessions tracing the craft's origins along the island's historic trade routes, rooted in the heritage of the indigenous Urak Lawoi community. Each arriving guest also receives a handcrafted bead bracelet as part of the welcome ritual.
