Phuwadee Resort and Spa
Phuwadee resort sits in the middle of the beach on Thong Nai Pan. It’s hard to miss with its garish pinky/orange metal roofs. The bungalows are fairly bug proof and have decent bathrooms with hot water. There is a pool on site and a restaurant. Rooms start at 1800B which is more expensive than neighboring Koh Phangan hotels offering similar rooms.
It is recommended to read reviews before staying here.
Rasananda *****
Rasananda is Thong Nai Pan’s newest addition, and first truly five-star resort. Though the backpacker whines can be heard up and down the beachthe fact is you can’t stop progress, and all credit to them they have done an absolutely beautiful job.
With gorgeous décor and stunning design the whole of Rasananda resort has a five star feel without losing those essential Koh Phangan characteristics: swaying palms, pristine beachfront intact, rustic salas and beautiful bamboo and hardwood features.
Rasananda opened in December 2008 and has some excellent soft-opening promotions on their website. Talented executive chef, Nick Hall, creates great food and a delicious bistro menu on the beach, and is soon to open a fine dining restaurant upstairs.
Rasananda also has a beautiful spa offering a full range of fantastic treatments, and recently featured in Asia Spa magazine. There are a full range of activities on offer and transfer from Samui airport by speedboat can be organized.
Rasananda is the first resort of its kind on Koh Phangan and is absolutely spectacular. Luna Lounge has no hesitation in recommending them as THE destination on Koh Phangan Island. Guests will not be disappointed.

Sandee Bungalow **
As you head off the beachfront and into the village you come to Sandee bungalow.These are a great deal, starting at backpacker prices for basic huts, going up to air con and modern bungalows. The Sandee family are friendly and the rooms well maintained.Sandee are also the most reputable moped renters in Thong Nai Pan.
Other Backpacker options
Along the road heading out of the village are a couple of really cheap operations – Otto Hut and Ko Bow Bungalows, both have basic bungalows at rock bottom prices.
Santhiya Resort ***
Slightly around the headland from Thong Nai Pan proper is Santhiya Resort. Santhiya have a huge number of teak rooms, a few villas with private pools, and usual Thai resort facilities but with a slight Disney-ish feel. Staff has good English and decent service. Good deals on rooms are available but guests should be encouraged to explore outside the resort for better holiday and dining experiences, and better value for money.

A great place to stay and relax. Dolphin has nice bungalows at a very reasonable rate and a lovely restaurant right on the beach front with a nice menu in the daytime and tapas at night. The décor is wonderful and the landscaping and artistic touches are beautiful.
