12 Best Hotels in Koh Phi Phi for Honeymoon: Romantic Island Escapes
Koh Phi Phi: quiet bays made for couples
Koh Phi Phi is made for couples. Think turquoise water outside your bungalow, sunsets over limestone cliffs and quiet beaches you can only reach by boat.
The trick is picking the right corner of the island. Tonsai and Loh Dalum are fun but loud. The best honeymoon stays are on the quieter north coast, hidden bays and Long Beach. Here are 12 romantic hotels in Koh Phi Phi, each with real guest reviews and a map link.
Best areas for a honeymoon
Laem Tong, Koh Phi Phi: the most secluded honeymoon area
- Laem Tong (north tip): The most luxurious and secluded area. Home to OUTRIGGER and Phi Phi Holiday Resort. About 30 to 45 minutes by boat from Tonsai.
- Loh Bagao Bay (north coast): Quiet and self-contained. Home to SAii Phi Phi Island Village.
- Phak Nam and hidden bays: Boat-only bays with real seclusion. Home to Phi Phi Relax Beach Resort.
- Long Beach: Calm with great snorkelling. It's a short longtail ride from Tonsai and good value for couples.
- Avoid: Loh Dalum and central Tonsai if you want quiet nights.
12 best honeymoon hotels in Koh Phi Phi
1OUTRIGGER Phi Phi Island Resort (Laem Tong)
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 from 2,860 reviews (Tripadvisor) | 9.4 out of 10 (Travelmyth)
OUTRIGGER, formerly Zeavola, is the island's top honeymoon pick. It sits on the quiet northern tip at Laem Tong with its own turquoise beach. Guests describe it as "Very secluded quite romantic and relaxing." They also mention "sandy paths and romantic lighting" in the evenings.
Villas have both indoor and outdoor showers. Rainforest Villas 1 to 4 come with a private pool. That's the closest thing to a honeymoon pool villa on Phi Phi. The Zeavola Spa sits on a hill with sweeping views. One couple who had stayed when it was Zeavola said the OUTRIGGER stay was even better.
Some reviewers felt the rooms didn't fully match the high price. One found their village suite a little dark. Travelmyth listed rates from US$141 a night at the time of research. Pick this if you want the most romantic, polished stay on the island.
2SAii Phi Phi Island Village (Loh Bagao Bay)
Rating: 4.3 out of 5 from 6,433 reviews (Tripadvisor) | 8.7 out of 10 (Travelmyth)
SAii is the most-reviewed resort on Phi Phi and a popular honeymoon choice. It sits on a long, secluded stretch of the north coast at Loh Bagao Bay. One Tripadvisor guest stayed "as part of our honeymoon trip." Another praised a staff member who "did her best to find us a solution that made our stay at SAii romantic and unforgettable!!"
The resort has five restaurants, two pools including an infinity pool, kayaks, a spa and daily activities. That makes it easy to stay put for days. Guests praise the beachfront setting, high-standard bungalows and breakfast.
The trade-off is distance. Tonsai is about 30 minutes away by boat. Travelmyth notes a free shared speedboat transfer for stays of 5 nights and longer, with rates from US$94. Pick this for a relaxed, all-in-one honeymoon.
3Phi Phi Holiday Resort (Laem Tong)
Rating: 4.1 out of 5 from 3,334 reviews (Tripadvisor)
Phi Phi Holiday Resort sits on the beach at Laem Tong, close to OUTRIGGER. One guest wrote, "Wow we arrived here for our Honeymoon and have the most amazing room which they decorated for us." Another enjoyed their bungalow and called it a "Fabulous location."
The resort offers all-inclusive options and several pools. It's also popular with families, with family suites and a kids' club. So it isn't adults only and can feel busy in school holidays. One guest who visited at the start of the rainy season enjoyed how quiet it was.
Prices swing a lot between booking sites, so compare before you book. Pick this if you want a full-service beach resort and don't mind some families around.
4Phi Phi Relax Beach Resort (Phak Nam Bay)
Rating: 3.8 out of 5 from 1,677 reviews (Tripadvisor) | 8.9 out of 10 from 44 reviews (Trip.com)
This is the pick for couples who want to feel stranded on their own beach. The resort sits in Phak Nam Bay. You can only arrive by boat. One Tripadvisor guest described "romantic bungalows right at the shore." A couple on Trip.com called it "A secluded and beautiful place with stunning sunsets and sunrises."
Bungalows have balconies, with fan or air-conditioned options. You can snorkel straight from the beach and book massages on site. Location scores 9.2 and cleanliness 9.1 on Trip.com.
Reviews do flag some issues. Fan rooms have no air conditioning. Longtail boats can be noisy near the shore. One family also reported food poisoning from the café. Book an air-conditioned bungalow. Pick this for seclusion over luxury.
5Phi Phi Phu Chalet Resort
Rating: 4.2 out of 5 from 91 reviews (Tripadvisor) | 9.1 out of 10 from 39 reviews (Trip.com)
Phu Chalet is a small, quiet resort reached by longtail boat. One guest wrote, "We can sit in our bed looking straight out at the beautiful turquoise sea." Another said, "The location is like being in your own private island." A Tripadvisor couple said that for a 3-star hotel it "had all the amenities we wanted as a couple."
There's a pool and a restaurant with a wide menu. Snorkel gear and kayaks are free. Staff get strong praise, with one couple calling them "exceptional, kind and so helpful."
The downsides are about distance. The village is about 1.5 km away. Transport is costly and the walk back to the pier is dark at night. There's also no private beach. Pick this for sea views from bed and a peaceful, small-resort feel.
6Mama Beach Residence (Adults Only)
Rating: 4.1 out of 5 from 1,231 reviews (Tripadvisor) | 9.0 out of 10 from 42 reviews (Trip.com)
Mama Beach Residence is adults only, which makes it a natural fit for honeymooners. It sits right on the beach about 750 metres from the main pier. Staff meet guests at the pier to help with luggage.
One Tripadvisor guest called it a "Very very relaxing & idyllic stay." A Trip.com guest described "a laid back and quiet place to just enjoy the sunshine and recharge out batteries." Another said "the views from this hotel are some of the best I have ever encountered." Rooms are clean. Staff also help with tour bookings.
On the downside, one guest found "the AC isn't great in the room." Some also mention dated facilities. Breakfast costs ฿400 per adult. Pick this for a calm, child-free stay within walking distance of Tonsai.
7Phi Phi Natural Resort (Laem Tong)
Rating: 3.5 out of 5 from 740 reviews (Tripadvisor)
One Tripadvisor guest called Phi Phi Natural Resort "a beautiful, romantic hotel at the very end of the island." It sits in a calm, quiet spot in the far north. The main pool and breakfast restaurant are right by the beach.
Guests praise the warm welcome and the free kayaks and snorkelling gear. Some rooms sit almost on the sand. One reviewer recommends it for snorkelling.
Reviews are mixed, though. Some guests say parts of the resort are dated and poorly maintained. The grounds are also hilly. The villas are surrounded by greenery, so bring mosquito repellent. Pick this for a quiet, nature-filled stay at a lower price than OUTRIGGER.
8Paradise Pearl Bungalows (Long Beach)
Rating: 3.7 out of 5 from 1,056 reviews (Tripadvisor) | 8.5 out of 10 from 3,186 reviews (Agoda, per Travelfish)
Paradise Pearl is the northernmost resort on Long Beach. Travelfish describes its newer deluxe bungalows as Thai contemporary designs with lots of wood. They have canopied beds and large bathrooms with dressing areas. The beachfront bungalows have large balconies and sea views, which suits honeymooners best.
A Tripadvisor guest praised the "lovely chilled beachfront restaurant that serves nice western and Thai food." Rooms set further back only get "glimpses of azure through the trees." Book a beachfront or deluxe bungalow instead.
Travelfish recorded walk-in rates of ฿3,000 to ฿4,000 for deluxe bungalows and ฿4,100 to ฿5,300 for beachfront bungalows. Online rates were lower. Pick this for a romantic bungalow on Long Beach without luxury prices.
9Phi Phi The Beach Resort (Long Beach)
Rating: 3.7 out of 5 from 1,974 reviews (Tripadvisor)
Phi Phi The Beach Resort sits on a hillside above Long Beach with a private beach below. One guest wrote, "The bungalows facing the ocean views are amazing, great view, large terrace." Another found their room "decorated with a honeymoon display which was lovely."
Reviewers praise the views and the great snorkelling right off the sand. There's a dive centre on the beach. A family-friendly fire show starts at about 9pm.
One guest noted their stay felt less special in a family room than in a couples room. Ask for an ocean-view bungalow and mention your honeymoon when booking. Pick this for sea views and snorkelling at a mid-range price.
10Paradise Resort Phi Phi (Long Beach)
Rating: 3.6 out of 5 from 869 reviews (Tripadvisor)
Paradise Resort has beachfront villas a few steps from Long Beach. One couple wrote, "We paid extra for a beach front villa and it was worth every penny with the white sand and clear water." Another guest enjoyed daily massages at the resort's massage spot.
Staff helped book onward ferries. There's also a handy minimart on site. It's a relaxed, practical base rather than a luxury resort.
Book a beachfront villa rather than a garden room for the honeymoon feel. Pick this for a simple beachfront stay on one of the island's calmest beaches.
11Viking Natures Resort
Rating: 3.8 out of 5 from 1,951 reviews (Tripadvisor)
Viking Natures Resort is the most unusual stay on this list. It's known for its quirky, nature-built design and private beaches. One reviewer called it very special and original.
Another praised the "Fantastic balcony with a view of the sea, lovely interior plus all windows and door with screens." A Tripadvisor guest noted the crowd is "Mostly couples or young families."
It suits couples who want character and seclusion over standard resort polish. Don't expect a big pool or spa. Pick this if you want a memorable, rustic honeymoon with sea-view balconies.
12PP Princess Resort (Loh Dalum)
Rating: 3.9 out of 5 from 1,824 Google reviews | 7.8 out of 10 (Travelmyth)
PP Princess is the most central honeymoon option, with pool villas on Loh Dalum Bay. Some villas are on two levels with sea views and waterfront locations. Be aware that some pools are shared by three villas. Some guests found that awkward.
The resort also has two main pools. One has a swim-up bar overlooking the beach. Phuket 101 calls it "comfortable, well-maintained" and "a clear step above the budget guesthouses."
The big drawback for honeymooners is noise. Music from the Loh Dalum beach bars can be heard from rooms closest to the beach. Ask for a villa set back from the beach. Travelmyth listed rates from US$72. Pick this if you want pool-villa romance and easy access to restaurants.

Honeymoon tips for Malaysian couples
- Mention your honeymoon when booking. Several resorts decorate the room for free.
- Visit between November and April for calm seas and sunny days.
- Book boat transfers with the resort if you stay at Laem Tong, Loh Bagao or Phak Nam.
- Hire a private longtail for a sunset trip to Maya Bay or Pileh Lagoon.
- Muslim couples should plan meals. Halal food is mostly in Tonsai Village, so remote resorts may have limited options.
- Carry cash for longtails, tips and island fees.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Booking Loh Dalum or Tonsai for a quiet honeymoon.
- Assuming every "pool villa" has its own private pool.
- Booking a garden or back-row room when the sea view is the point.
- Forgetting that remote resorts mean extra boat costs for every trip to town.
- Choosing a family-focused resort during school holidays.
