THAILAND – OUTRIGGER Hospitality Group has officially acquired Zeavola Resort, a premier beachfront escape nestled on the northern tip of Thailand’s famed Phi Phi Island. Set along a secluded stretch of powdery white sand and framed by swaying palms and the emerald waters of the Andaman Sea, the property is poised to undergo a full transformation and rebrand as OUTRIGGER Phi Phi Island Resort – a five-star sanctuary defined by barefoot luxury and authentic island charm.
“The addition of a new OUTRIGGER Resort on Phi Phi Island represents a landmark moment in our strategic growth across Asia Pacific,” said Jeff Wagoner, President and CEO of OUTRIGGER Hospitality Group. “Thailand remains one of the world’s most beloved travel destinations and we are thrilled to bring our signature style of beachfront hospitality to this extraordinary location. With our established operational presence in Thailand, we’re well positioned to enhance the guest experience and further strengthen our roots in this vibrant, culturally rich market.”
As Phi Phi Island transitions to its shoulder season, the resort will temporarily suspend operations as it embarks on an extensive renovation to reimagine both accommodations and shared spaces. The revitalized resort will feature 63 suites and villas and reflect OUTRIGGER’s signature approach – blending barefoot luxury with meaningful cultural experiences and environmental stewardship – offering a refined yet relaxed retreat for global travelers seeking an immersive island experience.
OUTRIGGER Phi Phi Island Resort is scheduled to reopen on 1 October 2025, welcoming guests to a refreshed vision of tropical island hospitality.
With award-winning resorts currently operating in Koh Samui, Khao Lak and Surin Beach, Phuket – the addition of Phi Phi Island marks OUTRIGGER’s fourth operating property in Thailand. The company previously operated four acclaimed resorts across the country, reflecting a long-standing dedication to the Thai hospitality sector. This renewed expansion highlights OUTRIGGER’s enduring connection to the destination and its continued investment in curating unforgettable beach escapes throughout the Asia Pacific region.
Details on the renovation timeline and grand reopening of OUTRIGGER Phi Phi Island Resort will be announced in the coming months. For sales inquiries, please contact sales.phiphi@outrigger.com or to learn more, visit www.outrigger.com/thailand/outrigger-phi-phi-island-resort.
