Viking Natures Resort

Top choice in Ko Phi-Phi


If it's character you're after, Viking's driftwood-clad, dark-wood, thatch-and-bamboo bungalows are just the ticket. They're decorated with shell curtains, colourful art, stone-cut sinks and hammock-decked lounging spaces that enjoy fabulous views of Phi-Phi Leh, and are set around a steep, jungle garden (which you will sometimes be sharing with monkeys) that runs down to a small but lovely beach.

Splurge on the large wooden lodge rooms that open onto inviting verandas.
