Phi Phi Island Village Beach Resort – “Phi Phi Model” support
Over the years, we have been working with the Thai National Parks Department in this region and actively supporting its “Phi Phi Model” management approach. This includes provided mooring buoys at Phi Phi Island Village Beach Resort to prevent boat operators anchoring and damaging coral reefs, and providing patrol boats for park officers that enable them to assist visitors and keep violators away.

In partnership with the developers of CROSSROADS, S Hotels & Resorts has established a Marine Discovery Centre. Among other things, corals are nurtured there and prepared for introduction to the sea. In addition, the centre serves as a think tank for further conservation measures to improve biological diversity in the ecosystem. All resort activities and goals are based on the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), especially with regard to life below water, focusing on zero marine debris.
