Crystal clear waters, lofty green cliffs and pristine beaches – the Phi Phi Islands in Thailand are an exquisite paradise.

The archipelago of six islands is home to a wealth of marine life. Go scuba diving or snorkelling and explore the expansive coral reefs beneath the surface, or venture into the lush jungle just off the soft sandy beaches and look out for exotic wildlife.

Then board a long-tail boat and visit the prehistoric cave paintings in Viking Cave, or head up through the jungle to the Phi Phi View Point to enjoy the stunning vistas of the aquamarine bays and the village below.

While there are secluded spots for you to enjoy the idyllic scenery to its full, the main island of Phi Phi Don is a vibrant hub, boasting a variety of restaurants and beach activities.

Phi Phi offers the perfect combination of tranquil relaxation, natural beauty and entertainment, making it the ideal island escape.
