Koh Pha Ngan is one of those tropical island paradises that were first discovered by backpackers and which have subsequently become popular tourism destinations, although in Pha Ngan’s case, the island is remote enough to have remained unspoiled yet accessible enough to provide a real barefoot luxury holiday.

Located 20 kilometers directly north of Koh Samui in the Gulf of Thailand, this is an ideal hideaway for travelers who prefer empty beaches and a laid-back atmosphere. However, this is also a very hip place to be, as the island hosts the world-famous, and perhaps the biggest beach party on this planet, the Full Moon Party on Rin Beach.

Rin Beach is ranked as the third most beautiful spot in the world to view the full moon, which is why a great number of tourists from all over the world flock here to take part in the famous celebration every full moon night.

Centara Pariya Resort & Villas Koh Pha Ngan is the first boutique resort to be located on Yuan Beach, a snowy-white stretch of sand 5 minutes by boat from Rin Beach and accessed via a 25-minute speedboat ride from Koh Samui.

Framed by the lush jungle-clad mountains to the rear of the resort and with a clear, cobalt-blue ocean on its doorstep, the accommodation consists of 39 beach villas.

There are 19 Deluxe Villas and 15 Deluxe Ocean Facing Villas set along the slope of the hill leading down to the resort, each providing for a maximum of 3 persons. Three Deluxe Spa Villas are located among the resort gardens, each designed for up to three persons, and with a private Jacuzzi. There is one Deluxe Spa Ocean Facing Villa, equipped with a private ocean-facing Jacuzzi and very suitable for a honeymoon couple or a couple celebrating an anniversary. There is also a Two-Bedroom Villa with a private Jacuzzi, suitable for a family or a group of up to 6 people traveling together.

Thai and international cuisines are served at The Palms restaurant, and many guests like to enjoy the comfort of dining in their villas, which is available 24 hours.

Other than just relaxing on the fine white sand beach of Yuan, the resort offers more by featuring recreational facilities including a free-form beachfront swimming pool and a children’s pool, and a spa with a wide range of natural therapies and treatments to rejuvenate the mind, body, and spirit.
