Island Dialogue

Where serene Phuket elegance meets Phi Phi’s secluded magic, SAii Hotels offer an immersive escape into Thai sophistication and soulful tranquility.

Tucked along the curve of Bangtao’s golden coastline, SAii Laguna Phuket emerges like a quiet revelation. A resort that knows how to whisper luxury rather than shout it, it offers a sanctuary between ocean and lagoon. Moments begin slowly here—perhaps with a sunrise paddle-boarding session guided by a SAii Guru or a leisurely breakfast beside the pool’s 55-meter water slide, whose playful curves contrast with the serene stillness of the lagoon beyond.

This is a destination that honours nuance: powdery beaches, panoramic Club Lounge views, and the restrained elegance of rooms that overlook either tranquil waters or lush gardens. Culinary experiences unfold in chapters—from the Mediterranean charm of Miss Olive Oyl to the unmistakably Thai spices of Mr Tomyam. At the heart of the resort lies SAii Spa, where treatments draw from earth and ocean alike. Rooted in Thai tradition and attuned to modern wellness, it is an invitation to realign—both physically and emotionally.

What sets SAii Laguna apart is its embrace of mindful luxury. In partnership with wellness visionary Susanna Edini, guests can experience guided breath-work or wander the Zen Garden, where Japanese karesansui design invites contemplation through raked sand and symbolic stone. For families, Mafeung and Mafai’s Junior Club offers thoughtfully curated programming, balancing joy with cultural discovery.

Weddings and events feel organic here—nine unique venues including a 6-meter-high ballroom or beachfront ceremonies framed by Andaman sunsets.

Just beyond Phuket’s bustle lies another kind of paradise. After a scenic resort boat transfer, SAii Phi Phi Island Village awaits on the unspoiled shores of Loh Ba Gao Bay. Set amidst a coconut grove within the Nopparatthara National Park, this retreat reframes the idea of seclusion. Hillside villas offer sweeping sea views and private pools, while beachfront bungalows breathe with the rhythm of the tides.

The atmosphere here is understated yet immersive. Spend mornings kayaking across turquoise waters or exploring nearby coral gardens with a marine biologist from the resort’s own Marine Discovery Centre. Certified as a 5-Star PADI Dive Centre, SAii Phi Phi offers underwater adventures where nature still reigns supreme—whether swimming with clownfish or diving among reef-covered rock formations.

Dining, too, follows the flow of the island: light, seasonal dishes at bean/Co café, open-air dinners at Api Restaurant & Bar, and elevated Thai cuisine at Ruan Thai, nestled in a traditional stilted house above the forest.

At Lèn Forest Spa, Thai wellness rituals meet intuitive treatments in a setting that feels sacred. Forest-inspired interiors, indigenous oils, and the quiet hush of the surrounding landscape restore balance through sensory immersion.

The resort also celebrates local culture through handcrafted ceremonies—be it a Western celebration overlooking the ocean or a traditional Thai wedding among whispering palms.

Together, SAii Laguna Phuket and SAii Phi Phi Island Village represent more than a holiday—they reflect a way of life that prioritises presence, connection, and quiet indulgence. In each moment, whether by lagoon or ocean, you are invited to slow down, to rediscover stillness, and to luxuriate in landscapes where nature is not merely a backdrop but a central character.
