The resort

The Cove Phi Phi

The Cove Phi Phi is a small resort on Ranti Beach (Rantee Beach) on the east coast of Koh Phi Phi Don. It was formerly called Rantee Cliff Beach Resort.

The resort can only be reached by boat. Its own boat runs from Tonsai Pier in about 20 minutes, so the bay stays quiet and far from the Tonsai crowds.

Accommodation ranges from simple bamboo bungalows by the beach and in the garden to cliff bungalows and ocean villas above the bay. Interiors are wooden and set among tropical greenery, each with a private balcony.

A coral reef with fish lies about 150 metres off the beach, close enough to snorkel from the sand. Rantee Restaurant serves Thai food on the beach.

The resort has about 36 rooms. There is no pool, guests swim in the bay.
