The neighbourhood

Find your way around

Spice sits on Haad Tien, one of three bays on Koh Phangan's wild south-east coast — reachable only by boat or jungle track. Remote, yes. But there's a whole little community out here: places to eat, swim, get a massage and dance till sunrise, all a walk or a short boat away.

Canopy Village

Haad Tien

A jungle eco-retreat with something genuinely unusual — the R.E.S.T. Pyramid, a custom-built floatation tank for sensory-deprivation therapy, tucked into the trees. Worth it for the curious.

Hours and party nights shift with the season and the weather out here — always worth asking us at the restaurant for what's on while you're staying.
