Attractions

Three unmissable local attractions are all within easy reach of the hotel:

• Maya Bay: Made famous by *The Beach*, this postcard-perfect sheltered bay boasts powdery white sand, turquoise waters, and towering limestone cliffs. Day trips from the hotel take just 45 minutes by longtail boat, and the protected ecosystem now limits visitor numbers to preserve its natural beauty.
• Phi Phi Viewpoint: A 20-minute uphill hike from the hotel rewards you with panoramic views of the entire archipelago, including the curved bays of Loh Dalum and Ton Sai. Go at sunrise to avoid crowds and capture golden light over the Andaman Sea.
• Viking Cave: Located on the northern tip of Phi Phi Le Island, this historic sea cave is home to ancient 1,000-year-old wall paintings and a traditional bird’s nest harvesting site. Guided longtail boat tours stop here to explore the cave and spot local sea eagles soaring overhead.

Travel Tips

Since Phi Phi Island is car-free, you’ll reach the hotel via a 45-minute speedboat or 90-minute ferry from Krabi mainland; the hotel’s tour desk can arrange convenient transfers for you. Pack sturdy walking shoes for the viewpoint hike and reef-safe sunscreen to protect local coral ecosystems. Book spa treatments in advance during peak season (November to February), as slots fill up quickly. Finally, remember to carry cash with you—many small local shops and tour operators on the island don’t accept cards.
