Koh Lanta: for nature and escape

Made famous by the well-known TV show of the same name, Koh Lanta has developed considerably in recent years. And contrary to what the television program might suggest, it's far from being a deserted island. That said, it has managed to retain its soul and authenticity. You'll still find stunning traditional villages and local life with many fishermen and farmers on Koh Lanta Noi. Activities abound at Koh Lanta: trekking, beaches, mangroves, snorkeling, boat trips to discover the National Park, waterfalls…

Koh Tao: for diving and snorkeling

Located in the Gulf of Thailand, Koh Tao is a tiny island (only 7.6 km long and 3.4 km wide) that relies heavily on tourism. With its crystal-clear waters and exceptional marine life, it's among the top destinations for divers and snorkeling enthusiasts. It's at Koh Tao that you'll find some of the world's most affordable diving certifications.

Koh Phangan: for celebration and good vibes

Known worldwide for its famous beach party, the Full Moon Party, Koh Phangan attracts party-goers from all over. But this Gulf of Thailand island is so much more than just festivities. While the southern part of the island is dedicated to nightlife, the rest is far more peaceful and natural. With its welcoming energy, the island attracts a significant community of yoga enthusiasts. In any case, you'll find numerous dreamy beaches and hiking trails. Something to satisfy everyone!

Koh Lipe: for paradise beaches and relaxation

Fine sandy beaches, turquoise waters, endless coconut trees… The island of Koh Lipe is the very definition of a paradise island.

You'll love its laid-back atmosphere and tranquility for a vacation devoted entirely to relaxation!

Koh Kood: for peace and authenticity

If you're looking for a quiet island with few tourists, you'll love the still-pristine Koh Kood (also known as Koh Kut).
