Santhiya Koh Phangan Resort & Spa ( Koh Phangan )

Adi Thoma

This is such a beautiful resort! And the private beach is one of the most beautiful beaches on the island. We stayed in an ocean view, private pool room and it was amazing! The pool and the rest of the amenities were 10/10. The food at breakfast and at the restaurants was delicious and had many vegetarian options. Overall a great stay and we will definitely be back again!

A magical and unique experience in Koh Phangan! This hotel is truly special and unlike any other, located in a magical part of Koh Phangan. At first, I was hesitant to book because the rooms are made almost entirely of wood — and that often means musty smells. But I was pleasantly surprised to find a beautifully designed room, with every corner thoughtfully crafted. And the best part? The room smelled amazing — like fresh lemongrass! The staff even comes in to light a lemongrass-scented oil that fills the space with the most relaxing and refreshing aroma. The staff is the sweetest — every single person was kind, helpful, and genuinely caring. I honestly can’t say a single bad word. The hotel itself is huge — it’s a joy to get “lost” among the tropical jungle paths, discovering pools, a lagoon, gym, lush greenery, and the hotel’s own thriving ecosystem. And if you’re feeling lazy (no judgment!), they’ve got a 24/7 shuttle service that picks you up in minutes. Just a 15-minute beach walk away is a charming little village — don’t miss it! We had the best massage in all of Thailand there (and we tried a lot), plus amazing food, cooking classes, nail salons, fun bars, and a convenient 7/11. The only thing I didn’t love was the breakfast — quite basic and not very inviting. If I had the choice, I’d book without it. 💛 Highly recommended. A truly refreshing, relaxing, and unforgettable stay.

h --- The hotel is quite far from the center of Koh Phangan; a taxi from the pier costs 1500 Baht. There is also a service to reach the hotel via a speedboat from Koh Samui at a good price, which takes you directly to the hotel without having to go through the pier and take an expensive taxi need to book with the hotel directly. We arrived at the hotel, and the check-in time was 3 PM, but we only received our room at 4 PM after waiting a whole hour for the check-in process. The hotel itself is very authentic; if you are looking for a modern hotel, this is not the place. The hotel features large villas with pools, there is a central pool, and a private beach. The downside is that the sand is rocky, so you need shoes to enter the water. The staff is very helpful and friendly. We enjoyed a lovely evening with a music performance and a good meal. The food at the pool is also decent and reasonably priced. However, the breakfast was not to my taste; there were almost no cheeses and the food was primarily Asian-based, which may not suit European preferences. There is a very nice village with excellent restaurants just 5 minutes from the hotel, with affordable massages and everything you need at very low prices. I highly recommend visiting there, but the hotel charges nearly 1000 Baht for a round-trip taxi ride. The hotel has stunning views, and the location is very beautiful. There are a lot of mosquitoes, so it’s essential to bring mosquito repellent. For those who love a traditional Thai-style hotel, I highly recommend Santhyia Hotel.

The Santhiya is a really lovely hotel. The staff are plentiful and ultra polite and helpful. Our room (hideaway villa) was really comfortable, with a lovely pool and patio area. The bathroom is also very nice with a lovely, high pressure and hot outdoor shower. I loved the shower! The bed and pillows are comfortable and the aircon works superbly. The only slight negative is that the hotel is just outside the nearest village. Ideal for getting away from it all, but you do want to visit the village for food and drinks, and as the previous boardwalk collapsed some time ago, you have to clamber over rocks to get to the next beach. Not a huge issue but could be relatively easily fixed. I would definitely stay here again, it has been a wonderful holiday

This was the dreamiest place to stay during our honeymoon! We LOVED this resort. We got a room with our own little pool and bathtub on the patio. The pool was chilly and refreshing, the bathtub was amazing for a private soak. The design of the room was beautiful and traditional- it made us feel like we were in White Lotus! Little trucks are always available to drive you all over the property, which came in handy since we always wanted to go to the two AMAZING pools. The pools were so peaceful and felt like mermaid lagoons. Plenty of lounge chairs and space. Once the sun would leave the lower pool, we would go up to the higher pool for at least another hour of sun. The breakfast was included and delicious! The best part of this resort was that there is a secret little path that is very walkable- it takes you to the local beach town where you can get massages, sample local restaurants, eat banana ice cream, or just enjoy the sandy beach!
