OUTRIGGER Phi Phi Island Resort opened in May 2026 on Laem Tong Beach, on the northern tip of Koh Phi Phi Don, within the protected boundaries of Hat Noppharat Thara-Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park.
The property was formerly Zeavola Resort, which closed for extensive renovation in May 2025 before reopening under the Outrigger brand. The resort is accessible only by boat, set on a white-sand beach fronting the Andaman Sea, surrounded by limestone cliffs.
The design concept is rooted in “Nit Thra,” a Thai term meaning the soul of rest, with handcrafted furnishings, organic textiles, and woven motifs drawn from the traditions of the Urak Lawoi sea community. The interiors use wood, rattan, rope, and stone alongside Southern Thai textiles and local crafts.
The project was carried out by OPENDESIGNER, a Bangkok-based creative studio, with the landscape of tropical foliage, white sand, and limestone cliffs preserved as the defining character of the resort rather than being cleared for construction.

Accommodation
Hilltop Ocean View Pool Villa
The Hilltop Ocean View Pool Villa sits on the elevated hillside with a private infinity pool looking out across the Andaman Sea and the surrounding limestone cliffs.
The position gives the most panoramic outlook of any villa category, with sea views from the bedroom, the pool terrace, and the outdoor living area. Interiors draw on handcrafted furnishings, organic textiles, and woven motifs from the Urak Lawoi sea community.
Beachfront Pool Villa
The Beachfront Pool Villa sits directly on the sand at Laem Tong Beach, with immediate access to the water and a private pool facing the Andaman Sea.
Wide openings connect the indoor and outdoor spaces, bringing the coastal setting directly into the room. It is the most immersive of the three categories, suited to guests who want the beach as a constant presence throughout the stay.
Family Garden Villa
The Family Garden Villa sits within the tropical gardens, wrapped in greenery and set back from the beach in a quieter position. The layout provides additional outdoor space for families or groups, with the same handcrafted furnishings and woven design details from the resort’s Nit Thra concept throughout.

Food & Drink
Mala Kitchen
Mala Kitchen operates under the Samrub Thai culinary philosophy, a Southern Thai approach built on the balance of taste, texture, and tradition, with menus drawing on the region’s spices, fresh produce, and coastal ingredients prepared by chefs with roots in the local food culture.
Edgewater Bar and Grill
The Edgewater Bar and Grill serves fresh local seafood, aromatic curries, and tropical cocktails at the edge of the Andaman Sea, with an open view of the water throughout the day and into the evening.
Spa & Wellness
Zeavola Spa grounds its treatments in Southern Thai wellness practices and local botanicals, with the spa’s design drawing on the colors of ancient beads, deep reds, earthy browns, and oceanic turquoise, believed in local tradition to strengthen the life force and enhance restoration.
Sunrise yoga sessions, known as Rub Aroon, run each morning by the sea. Two swimming pools include the main beachfront pool at 20 by 10 meters and a lap pool at 22 by 6 meters. A wellness zone with a gym and open-air yoga sala sits within the resort grounds.
