An exquisite location

The 39-key Varivana Resort Koh Phangan began operations under Centara’s management on Monday, 16th September.

Originally opened in January 2020, the resort gained acclaim for its distinctive loft-style design and commitment to providing an exceptional guest experience.

 Drawing inspiration from its name, with vari meaning sea and vana meaning mountain, Varivana Resort Koh Phangan embodies a harmonious blend of nature and modern comfort. As the place where the mountains meet the sea, this serene retreat offers guests panoramic views of the lush landscape and the glistening waters of the Gulf of Thailand, a 28-metre rooftop saltwater infinity pool, a rejuvenating spa, and stunning restaurant and bar. 

With easy access to Thong Sala Pier and an array of island adventures such as cycling, snorkelling, island-hopping excursions, and the world-famous Full Moon party, Varivana Resort masterfully blends privacy and relaxation with the thrill of local exploration.
