Hotels and Accommodation in Koh Pha-ngan

Koh Phangan is where mountain trails lean into beach bars, and gongs from sunrise yoga at Srithanu ring out not far from the moonlit thump of Haad Rin. Wedged between Koh Samui and Koh Tao, this jungle island is all swimmable shores and sweat-slick hikes - except once a month. Then, thousands come from worldwide to lose sleep raving under full moons. Others, choose to keep stretching it out in Srithanu or sink into slow mornings in Thong Nai Pan’s sand.

Whether you're in Koh Phangan for snorkelling, hiking, healing or happy hour, Koh Phangan makes it easy to find your scene - and sleep style. From $30 bungalows to private plunge pool villas, you will find a place to crash on Koh Phangan that matches your vibe.

Where to stay in Koh Phangan

• Haad Rin: The island’s best-known beach and full-time party zone. If you're here for the Full Moon, Haad Rin puts you close to the action (and the hangover smoothies).
• Sri Thanu: Koh Phangan’s chillest pocket. Think gongs, green juice and beachfront bungalows. A favourite for yoga-goers, long-stayers and those who came for a week and stayed all month. 
• Thong Nai Pan: These curved bays and remorse resorts on the northeast coast feel away from the action - but in a good way. Perfect for couples or travellers chasing space and a hearty helping of indulgence.
• Haad Yuan: Reachable only by boat or a jungle trail, Haad Yuan is perfect for travellers chasing sunrise swims while maintaining those off-grid vibes. 
• Ban Tai: Balanced and central. Right between Thong Sala and Haad Rin, Ban Tai blends party-adjacent energy with beach clubs, scooter rentals and plenty of mid-range stays. A good shout for a mid-range stay.

Tips for finding the perfect accommodation in Koh Phangan

• Filter by vibe: From pool villas to party hostels, use Traveloka filters to match your mood - be that beachfront views, free brekkie, or wellness perks.
• Time it right: Prices spike over Full Moon weekends and Thai holidays. If you’re not here to party hard on the beach, avoid the peak of the lunar cycle.
• Check the map: That beachfront villa might be boat-access only. Zoom in on Traveloka to check the location.
• Book early: Affordable picks and high-rated mid-range stays book out quickly in peak months (Dec-March, July–Aug). Secure your spot early, then settle into dreaming about your holiday on the horizon.
