An Archipelago of 11 Tropical Gems

The Similan Islands are made up of eleven tiny isles – each a dream of white sand and turquoise sea.

Where Exactly Is Paradise?

Roughly 70 km northwest of Khao Lak – reachable by speedboat in about 90 minutes.

The Name “Similan”

“Similan” comes from the Malay word for “nine.” Two more islands were added later.

A Protected National Park

Established in 1982, Mu Ko Similan National Park preserves marine diversity and stunning landscapes.

Why So Popular?

Crystal-clear water, vibrant reefs, and deep tranquility make the Similan Islands truly special.

A World Away

As you land, nature takes over – no traffic, no hotels, no mopeds. Just waves and wilderness.

Visiting Season

The park is open from mid-October to mid-May. Closed during the rainy season to allow recovery.

Respect the Rules

No plastic, no soap in the sea, no touching animals – that’s how we protect paradise.
