Stay at a luxury hotel in Koh Phangan with Small Luxury Hotels of the World, where the tropical paradise portrayed in Alex Garland’s The Beach novel becomes reality. Spend barefoot days on jungle-backed sands or dive in clear Gulf of Thailand waters.
Luxury Koh Phangan beaches
Explore the secluded beaches Thong Nai Pan Noi and Thong Nai Pan Yai close to your luxury Koh Phangan hotel. You’ll find hidden temples, virgin rainforest and waterfalls thundering down rugged rock faces behind sandy coves. Watch colourful long-tail boats bring catches into the pier at the north-west bay of Chaloklum Beach, while you bask on the long stretch of sand.
Luxury things to do in Koh Phangan
Your five-star luxury dive boat anchors in Mae Haad Bay while you submerse or snorkel over the colourful table corals teeming with parrotfish and stingray. Follow your personal guide on the three-hour jungle hike to the hinterland mountain of Khao Ra, where you are rewarded with views across the azure Gulf of Thailand. Top Thai chefs show how to tell your galangal from your kaffir lime leaves and lemongrass at one-to-one cookery classes in Haad Rin.
Gourmet Koh Phangan
Enjoy views from the tree-shaded terrace overlooking sleepy Thong Nai Pan bay while you dine on seafood barbecues of succulent red snapper and giant king prawns. You can enjoy ice-chilled Chang beer and feasts of fiery yam talay seafood salad at bamboo-designed restaurants at Haad Yao.
Retreat to a luxury hotel on Koh Phangan with Small Luxury Hotels of the World and immerse yourself in Thai island life at a boutique resort. Cool off in the landscaped hot tub in front of giant waterfalls and coconut groves and pamper yourself with Thai massages in the exclusive spa.
