3. OUTRIGGER Phi Phi Island Resort — best new barefoot-luxury option

OUTRIGGER Phi Phi Island Resort occupies the former Zeavola site on Laem Tong Beach. The resort opened in May 2026 after a full transformation of the former Zeavola property and now operates as OUTRIGGER Phi Phi Island Resort.

Remote Phi Phi resorts buy you a quieter shoreline but make hotel transfers and dining choices more important.

4. Phi Phi The Beach Resort — best Long Beach stay

Phi Phi The Beach Resort sits on quiet Long Beach facing toward Phi Phi Le. Hillside villas have private balconies, and the resort provides pool, beach restaurant, bar, massage and water activities. Long Beach gives it a useful middle ground between central convenience and resort seclusion.

Best for: couples, beach-focused travelers and guests who still want reasonable access to Tonsai. Trade-off: luggage transfer is typically by long-tail boat rather than a simple pier walk.
