Paradise Pearl Bungalow

Ko Phi-Phi


This sprawling complex of dark wood Thai chalets, decked out with art, is tucked into the rocky headland on the northern curl of lovely Hat Yao. Delightfully old-fashioned beach-facing wooden 'houses' have four-poster beds, lace curtains and tea/coffee stands. The restaurant, typically packed with young couples, rambles to the edge of the sand.
