While Thailand is beautiful all year-round, the best time to fly in to visit Phi Phi Islands is from November to March, when the heat and humidity are lowest. You’ll want to steer clear of traveling to the islands from May to October since the rains during this season can be very intense and frequent, averaging about 20 rainy days a month.

You’re in luck because the islands are home to many beautiful accommodations that you can choose from! Here are a few of the best hotels on Phi Phi Island which you can stay at for your trip.

With coconut palms lining the coast and the sound of the Andaman Sea’s waves in the background, cozying up in any of their tropical-yet-modern rooms will make you undoubtedly want to stay here longer. 

Strategically located on the waist of the island, the main island’s top destinations are within your reach! Phi Phi Harbour View Hotel is surrounded by Ton Sai Bay’s cliff and lagoon, so you’ll definitely have the best views anywhere you go. Stay in one of its 80 guest rooms, dip in the outdoor pool near the sea, and indulge in the finest Asian and International dishes at Anchor, their in-house restaurant.

Another hotel within the locale is Chaokoh Phi Phi Hotel & Resort. Marvel at the quirky artworks and ocean-themed woodworks adorning the property, from common spaces to their upscale suites.
