SAii Phi Phi Island Village is a 201-room, 5-star resort spread across low-rise, single-storey buildings on Koh Phi Phi Don in Thailand's Krabi province, according to Traveloka's listing data. The property was first built in 1988 and was most recently renovated in 2023 - a long history paired with a recent refresh. Rather than rising up as a tower block, the resort is laid out horizontally along the shore, with bungalows, villas, suites and hillside pool villas set among trees on the edge of Loh Ba Gao Bay.
The resort is part of SAii Hotels, a small group whose other properties include SAii Laguna Phuket, SAii Koh Samui Villas and SAii Lagoon Maldives. On its official site, SAii describes the Phi Phi property as nestled amid a coconut plantation in secluded Loh Ba Gao Bay, with Thai-style suites, bungalows, villas and hillside pool villas fronting a private 800-metre stretch of white-sand beach. The secluded setting suits travellers who want a beach-focused island stay.
Traveloka lists the property's address as 49 Moo 8, Koh Phi Phi, Mueang Krabi, Krabi 81000, within the Phi Phi Don area. Standard check-in is from 15:00 and check-out is by 11:00. Because the island has no road connection to the mainland, every arrival is by boat, and the resort itself publishes scheduled speedboat transfers from both Phuket and Krabi (covered in the location section below).
The official SAii website groups the accommodation into four families: bungalows, villas, a beachfront suite and hillside pool villas. The sizes and bed configurations below are taken from the resort's own accommodation page. The exact room names offered for a given date on Traveloka can differ from this list, so always check the room selector on the property page before booking.
The most compact category on the official list at 45 square metres, the Deluxe Garden Villa comes with a king bed or twin beds plus a sofa bed. The resort lists a private terrace and a Nespresso coffee machine for this villa type, and it suits couples or a small family who want a garden setting rather than a sea outlook.
At 50 square metres, the Deluxe Garden Bungalow offers a king bed or twin beds and, according to the official site, sits among tropical gardens with a private balcony and garden views. It is a straightforward choice for two adults who plan to spend most of the day on the beach or out on boat trips.
Both Deluxe Premium categories measure 59 square metres and come with a king bed or twin beds plus a sofa bed. The resort lists a private terrace for each; the bungalow version also mentions a rain shower and minibar, while the villa version mentions a coffee machine. The extra space over the garden categories makes them a sensible step up for a family with one child.
The two Sea View categories are also 59 square metres with a king bed or twin beds and a sofa bed. The official site describes the bungalow with a private terrace, deck chairs and a rain shower, and the villa as sitting steps from the beach with its own terrace. These are the categories to look at if a view of Loh Ba Gao Bay is the priority.
For larger groups, the Two Bedroom Family Bungalow covers 102 square metres with a king bed in one room and twin beds in the other, plus a private terrace, a rain shower and garden views. Two separate sleeping rooms under one roof help families with older children.
The Beachfront Junior Suite measures 79 square metres with a king bed and a sofa bed. SAii describes a spacious deck and an outdoor dining area overlooking the water, and the official site notes 14 beachfront suites in total.
At the top of the ladder are three hillside pool villa types, of which the resort says there are 12 in total. The Hillside Pool Villa and Oceanview Hillside Pool Villa each measure 125 square metres with a king bed and two sofa beds and a private swimming pool, while the 2 Bedroom Oceanview Hillside Pool Villa reaches 150 square metres with two king beds, a sofa bed, a private pool and an outdoor swing. Being set on the slope behind the beach, these villas trade direct sand access for privacy and elevation.
In-room amenities vary by category. Traveloka's listing does not publish a per-room amenity list for this property, so check the room details at booking for items such as air conditioning, minibar or bathtub.
Traveloka's facility data for SAii Phi Phi Island Village reads like a full-service beach resort, and the official site confirms most of the headline items. Highlights confirmed in the listing include:
There is also a designated smoking area, which means the rest of the public space is easier to enjoy for non-smokers. Traveloka records parking as available, although most guests arrive by boat rather than by car. Facility schedules on a small island can change with the season, so it is worth confirming opening hours for the spa and dive centre with the resort on arrival.
SAii Phi Phi Island Village sits on Loh Ba Gao Bay on Koh Phi Phi Don, the larger and inhabited island of the Phi Phi group, in the Andaman Sea between Phuket and the Krabi coast. The resort describes Loh Ba Gao as a secluded bay, and the official site notes that Maya Bay, which it calls iconic, is about 45 minutes away by boat.
The resort publishes two main transfer routes on its official site:
Boats generally arrive directly on the beach at high tide; at low tide guests may need to walk a short distance or take a small boat, and in rough seas the boat may dock at Loh Lana Bay instead, which can cause delays. On departure day, the resort recommends leaving at least three and a half hours before a domestic flight and four and a half hours before an international one. Both Phuket International Airport and Krabi International Airport are workable gateways, and you can compare flights to Phuket or Krabi on Traveloka to line up your arrival time with the transfer schedule.
Transfer schedules and fees are set by the resort and can change, so confirm the current timetable directly with SAii Phi Phi Island Village before travelling.
Traveloka's listing for SAii Phi Phi Island Village records one restaurant and four bars, together with a poolside bar, a snack bar and a coffee shop, and breakfast is offered. The official SAii site goes further and names several outlets, including some that operate as bars or casual counters, which explains the different counts between the two sources:
Not every outlet may be open every day, particularly outside the peak season, so check with the front desk for current hours. With the resort set in a secluded bay, having this range of outlets on site means guests do not need to leave for every meal. If you want to fill a day beyond the resort, browse island-hopping tours and things to do around Krabi on Traveloka, from snorkelling trips to day cruises.
The clearest reason to choose SAii Phi Phi Island Village is the combination of scale and seclusion. With 201 rooms it is a sizeable property, yet its single-storey layout and position on Loh Ba Gao Bay keep the atmosphere low-key, with an 800-metre private beach rather than a crowded public strip.
The spread of room categories is the second strength. The categories run from a 45-square-metre garden villa all the way to a 150-square-metre two-bedroom pool villa, so couples, families and small groups can all find a fit within the same resort. The two-bedroom family bungalow and the children's pool with a waterslide make it a practical choice for families, while the hillside pool villas and the beach dinner set-up suit honeymooners.
Third, the activity mix keeps guests busy without leaving the property: diving and snorkelling, a tennis court, a fitness centre, a spa with a steam room, a library and multiple pools. For travellers who would rather not commute across the island every day, that self-contained offer matters. The long track record since 1988, combined with a 2023 renovation, gives it a sense of continuity that is worth noting.
Booking through Traveloka keeps flights, stays and activities in one itinerary, with booking details available in the app.
