Santhiya Koh Phangan Resort and Spa

Loved every minute of our stay here for our honeymoon and they made it extra special. The hotel is huge which we did not realise until we got there. We stay in hotel 3 which has a private pool for the hotel with an incredible view. It is also where the gym is and it was the best gym in our entire 1 month stay in Asia. The sunset from the room was also amazing. Bed was comfy, designs of the rooms were traditional. They provide a free 24 hour truck ride from the reception to your room which was also amazing. Other reviews have said it is hard to get to the next beach because of the rocks and barbed wire however, they have sorted this out and the pathway is safe. It is only a 2 minute walk across the rocks to the next beach so do not let these review put you off. Would defiantly come back again.

Honestly from the start of our customer journey, Santhiya really blew our expectations off the roof. They were helpful on communications prior to our arrival as well as during. The resort is absolutely magnificent, the traditional Thai wooden architecture blends perfectly with the jungle surrounding it. You truly feel at peace in this resort, the pool suite sea view is exactly as the pictures show, we do recommend sea view as there is a lot more privacy then you’d have in the garden view. Now onto the employees, coming from a hospitality background, I must say we were so impressed by the attitude and kindness of the staff. Yes, it’s standard in Thailand for employees to be extra kind and nice, but something about the place and its people was just amazing. Special mention to Bruno who did an outstanding job at directing us through the hotel and our room, and Joel (not sure if I’m spelling it correctly 🫣) was our FB attendant twice and was really sweet and attentive to our stay. Overall, anyone looking for a peaceful and luxurious stay should definitely visit Santhiya. We have made it our mission to visit all of the Santhiya resorts in Thailand. 🥳

Santhiya is a stunning and truly luxurious resort surrounded by nature and set right on its own private beach. The property is huge yet beautifully maintained, with a perfect balance of comfort and traditional Thai charm. Our villa had a modern Thai design with lots of beautiful wood details, a private pool, and great attention to detail. The beachside restaurants offer amazing views, and the small cars that take you around the resort make it easy to get anywhere. Everything is done with great respect for nature. Breakfast was plentiful, the staff were incredibly friendly, and communication via WhatsApp made arranging anything effortless. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Koh Phangan.

We stayed at a beautiful and romantic wooden villa with a large private terrace, a private pool, an outdoor bathtub, a fantastic and very large semi-outdoor bathroom, a very comfortable bed. Very clean and well maintained; the villa alone is worth the trip and the price. The staff is outstandingly warm and welcoming. The resort is so incredibly beautiful that we never went out in three days. The beach is amazing and swimmable, and there are free SUPs and kayaks. The included breakfast was delicious, varied and abundant. Additionally, our rate included a 1,000 baht credit per day to spend in the restaurants. Room service is very fast and well executed. The massage by the pool is extraordinary.

The hotel and villas are absolutely beautiful — exactly like the photos. The property is well-maintained, with great facilities including a relaxing spa, a private beach, and kayaks available for guests. The breakfast was good, and the staff were mostly helpful and friendly, especially those who spoke English. We especially enjoyed our stay in one of the older villas, which was in great condition and had a lot of charm.
