Santhiya Koh Phangan Resort & Spa ( Koh Phangan )

Luxie

We spent our honeymoon at the Santhiya Resort & Spa on Koh Phangan and it was truly a dream! Everything was perfect from start to finish, and we honestly can’t understand some of the negative reviews here. The staff were incredibly warm, attentive, and professional. We immediately felt welcome and completely taken care of. Our Hideaway Pool Villa was absolutely stunning - beautifully designed, with so much attention to detail and thoughtful little extras that made our stay unforgettable. From our own beach bag to the mosquito-repellent lamps filling the villa with a scent we’ll remember for a lifetime. The resort itself is breathtaking, nestled in the jungle and wonderfully designed. Guests are taken anywhere on the property 24/7 with the wooden buggies; a service that’s both practical and fun. Anyone criticizing the location of the hotel or the long distances simply didn’t do their research beforehand. The food was absolutely delicious and consistently high-quality - both at the breakfast buffet and in the restaurants. In short: it was simply perfect. An unforgettable trip and an unforgettable time that we will carry in our hearts forever. 💛 We wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone looking to experience paradise.

Santhiya Resort in Koh Phangan is truly breathtaking. The entire property is crafted in stunning wooden details that make you feel as if you’re staying in an authentic traditional Thai villa — but with the comfort, luxury, and flawless attention to detail of a true 5-star resort. Every corner feels magical. I also want to highlight the young Indonesian team members at The Sea Restaurant. Their kindness, warmth, and attentive service made our meals even more memorable. They genuinely go above and beyond, and their welcoming smiles made us feel at home every single day

This is one of the best hotel I’ve ever stayed at. Every inch of Santhiya is carved wood : doors, pillars, ceilings, even staff cars; telling stories of Thai history and mythology through its details. It feels less like a resort and more like a living artwork suspended between jungle and sea. The villas feel private and peaceful, surrounded by jungle and birdsong, yet fully soundproof for perfect rest (quiet is rare in Koh Phangan) Service is exceptional: quick, kind, and seamless through WhatsApp with perfect english. The infinity pool blends into the forest, the food and cocktails are excellent, and the 24-hour wooden taxis make every ride part of the experience. Special thanks to Kai, Party, Belle, and Lily for making my stay flawless. A place that achieves a rare balance between luxury, peacefulness and authenticity.

We had the most perfect honeymoon stay at Santhiya! Our room was absolute stunning, so well appointed with great amenities. The resort was spotless, with a great range of activities and food. This place is paradise. The staff could not have been more helpful and friendly - service was great, nothing felt like too much to ask. They were so professional, as you would expect from a resort of this standard. We had fantastic massages by the lovely ladies in the spa. There was loads of evening entertainment, from live music, to traditional dance, to fire shows on the beach. Santhiya is a must-stay, we are already planning on coming back!

The rooms are amazing in my eyes I loved all the "wood authentic Thai style" However... if you come with kids this is not the place for you The beach is narrow and barely has sand, it's far from the center and a bit borking for the kids The food isn't good at all! Not more than 2 stars Oh! And also! The bath and toilets are outside I personally didn't feel comfortable using it at night
