There are not many places on earth that are so stunningly beautiful and famous; The Phi Phi archipelago consists of six picturesquely beautiful islands full of limestone hills, turquoise lagoons and dream beaches, in the middle of the Andamen Sea Marine National Park.
With the exception of Phi Phi Don, the tourist hotspot with hotels, restaurants and bars, all the islands are undeveloped, but thanks to their fame they are very popular. Visitors flock from all over the world to admire Maya Bay (the film set of "The Beach"), to pose for photos in front of breathtaking scenery or to plunge into the crystal-clear underwater world to admire the magnificent coral reefs and their inhabitants.
It's worth hiring a private yacht to see these beauties in their true splendor off-peak.
