OUTRIGGER Phi Phi Island Resort

Alexey

Until May 2025, this was the famous and well-known Zeavola Resort; I have stayed here many times since 2008 and always looked forward to returning. Now, following the reconstruction and transformation into the new Outrigger resort, I had the unique honor of being the first guest on the soft opening day, May 4th, 2026. It was thrilling to return and see that the "spirit of Zeavola" is alive despite the significant updates. Outrigger still embraces the "barefoot luxury" style with its sand paths and quiet atmosphere, but the standards have been elevated significantly. I especially liked: Team: Sincere service and much of the original Zeavola team. Chef Satya, Andrew and restaurant team proudly serve delicious dishes and drinks (the coffee is beyond praise), Rhys (Dive center) easily organizes cool sea trips, and Teddy (Spa) gives a wonderful massage. Renovated Villas: High-quality renovation. The interiors are fresh and premium with high-end materials, thoughtful lighting, quiet AC, and exceptional sleep comfort. New Areas: An expansive new pool right by the beach with plenty of comfortable sunbeds, a new fitness center, and a new restaurant with both indoor seating and an open terrace overlooking the sea. The Vibe: It is still that same quiet corner away from the crowds, only now with modern 5-star comfort. This is the place for those seeking a unique blend of Thai tradition, tranquility, and modern luxury. It was quite emotional for me to see a legend return so fantastically under Chris's (General Manager) leadership. Overall highly recommended!

My 5-night stay at OUTRIGGER Phi Phi Island Resort was honestly one of the most unexpectedly special resort experiences I’ve had in Thailand. Before arriving, I had stayed at several other 5-star luxury properties throughout Thailand and had never experienced an Outrigger resort before, especially one that had recently gone through such a major renovation and rebrand. From the moment I arrived by speedboat, the hospitality stood out immediately. Multiple staff members greeted me warmly, helped with my luggage, and made the arrival feel seamless and welcoming. The property itself is beautiful. The landscaping, white sand walkways, and overall atmosphere create a calm luxury feel without feeling overly commercialized. But the biggest surprise was the villa interior. The design felt modern tropical minimalist with warm wood finishes, soft lighting, vaulted ceilings, and a peaceful indoor-outdoor layout. The villa was spacious, spotless, and incredibly relaxing. I honestly caught myself thinking several times, “I wish this was my home in Portugal.” What truly makes this place special though is the people. Everyone — from landscaping staff to housekeeping to restaurant staff — greeted me warmly every day and genuinely made me feel taken care of. The food was exceptional. I’ve eaten at Michelin-star restaurants before and honestly preferred many of the meals here. Some favorites were the beef tenderloin, tiger prawns, green curry, fresh seafood, and the incredible breakfast every morning. The restaurant’s modern tropical design, open kitchen, and fresh seafood displays made the experience even better. The spa was another highlight. Tum welcomed me with such kindness and made the entire experience relaxing from the start. Varn gave one of the most calming massages I’ve had, and Teddy was equally wonderful during my second treatment. I also spent several days scuba diving, and Rhys was incredibly helpful getting everything organized and always took time to stop by and say hello throughout my stay. The app, concierge communication, and overall service were excellent throughout the entire trip. Luxury is easy to build. Creating warmth, peace, and genuine hospitality is much harder — and this resort achieved both. Thank you to everyone at Outrigger Phi Phi for making these 5 nights so memorable. I will absolutely be returning.

Attention: Be aware that the resort is a construction zone right now (January 2026) and the beach is full of dirt, trash and pollution from industrial boats delivering construction material. We can't understand the newest 5 star evaluation from this week. The resort surely isn't open. Be aware if you want to book a stay there.

We had an amazing time at Zeavola in Dec 2019 and returned for another unforgettable family trip in Dec 2024. The stunning location with its pristine beach and lush greenery was loved by everyone, offering the perfect backdrop for relaxation and adventure. The resort staff made my mom's birthday incredibly special with a surprise celebration, adding a personal touch that we greatly appreciated. Dining at Zeavola was a highlight of our stay. Chef Satya and his team crafted amazing dishes that were both delicious and beautifully presented, while the service was impeccable—warm and attentive. Overall, Zeavola Resort provided us with a perfect blend of luxury and comfort, creating cherished family memories. We can't wait to visit again!

I recently stayed at a wonderful resort and spa that exceeded expectations in so many ways. The room was immaculate—spacious, modern, and filled with thoughtful touches that made the stay feel luxurious. The views were breathtaking, and the amenities, especially the heavenly bed, added to the overall sense of relaxation. Service at the resort was exceptional. Every member of the staff was warm, attentive, and genuinely eager to make our stay memorable. From check-in to dining and spa treatments, the team went above and beyond to ensure a seamless experience. However, despite the incredible room and service, I had to give the location 3 stars. The resort itself is set in what should be a pristine paradise, but unfortunately, the surrounding beach and sea are marred by plastic waste. It was disheartening to see such a beautiful natural environment neglected, with no enough effort to clean up or preserve the area. I believe it’s crucial to protect the environment, especially in a place as stunning as this, and I hope the management will take steps to address this issue. Preserving this paradise for future guests should be a top priority.
