Experience the Best of SAii Resorts
SAii Phi Phi Island Village is nestled in 70 acres of lush, tropical gardens on Koh Phi Phi Don, making it the perfect setting for guests who want to immerse themselves in the natural wonders of southern Thailand, both above and beneath the waves.
This eco-sensitive sanctuary features a dedicated Marine Discovery Centre, an interactive environmental hub where marine biologists are engaged in a wide range of responsible activities, including coral propagation, shark conservation, and clownfish breeding, among others, with colourful displays and live exhibitions.
Wildlife and nature lovers can learn all about these programmes, including the SOS (“Save Our Sharks”) initiative which sees the resort work hand-in-hand with experts from the Phuket Marine Biological Center to care for bamboo sharks in southern Thailand.
From incubating eggs and nurturing them at the Shark Nursery Pond to releasing the juveniles back into their natural habitat, the resort takes care of every detail. Active travellers can explore the enchanting marine environment with expert-led boat trips and mangrove kayaking expeditions.
Youngsters who want to be immersed even deeper in the marine world can visit the PADI-certified dive centre, which offers a “Bubblemaker” scuba diving course – an introductory session that lets little ones (eight or nine years old) learn how to breathe underwater, swim with fins and perform underwater tricks.
SAii Phi Phi Island Village is an oasis of adventure; with water sports, tennis, swimming, yoga and many more energising pursuits, every guest can find a new skill or rediscover a lost love.
