Most will&nbsp;spend their time on <strong>Phi Phi Don<\/strong>, the largest of the six islands. The&nbsp;coasts of <strong>Yao, Lanti<\/strong> and <strong>Hin Khao<\/strong> are where you&#8217;ll find avid beach-goers soaking up the tropical vibes.

With colourful beach bars, great dive spots, spa parlours, seafood restaurants and calm waters, there&#8217;s something for every traveller here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And it&#8217;s not all about the sun, sand and sea. Tear yourself away from the beach to visit attractions like the Khao Mai Kaew Caves, Lanta Old Town and Sea Gypsy Village.

And some of the highlights inlcude: East of Eden (you&#8217;ll find a&nbsp;long swim through lined with gorgeous coral and marine life), Deep Six (large fishes and sharks are spotted along the deep boulders and archways), Anita&#8217;s Reef (here you&#8217;ll set sight n reefs, boulders and a Chinese junk).<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-layzr=\"http:\/\/blog.villa-phuket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/koh-phangan-yoga.jpg\" alt=\"koh phangan yoga\" class=\"wp-image-2432\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Koh_Phangan\"><\/span>Koh Phangan<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mention Koh Phangan, and the words &#8220;full moon party&#8221; comes to mind.
