OUTRIGGER Phi Phi Island Resort, the five-star sanctuary nestled on the powder-soft sands of Thailand’s Phi Phi Islands, is set to open its doors this May 2026, unveiling a new beachside sanctuary that showcases authentic Southern Thai design and introduces guests to the concept of “Nit Thra” – the “soul of rest,” which encourages harmony, relaxation and restoration. This newly-rebranded seafront retreat has been imagined by OPENDESIGNER, the acclaimed Bangkok-based creative studio, to immerse visitors in the essence of the Phi Phi Islands and the Andaman Sea. The entire project was approached with a mindset of preservation – the notion that the landscape of tropical foliage, sandy shores and limestone cliffs define the resort, rather than vice versa. As a result, OUTRIGGER Phi Phi Island Resort appears to grow organically from the coastal environment. This impression is especially powerful when guests arrive by boat – the only way to reach the resort – as the low-rise buildings gradually emerge like a shimmering mirage on the shoreline. Upon arrival, travellers will be greeted with a traditional “Rub Kwan” ceremony and a handcrafted bead bracelet – a warm welcome ritual inspired by the local Urak Lawoi community.
