In November 2021, the marine biologist at SAii Phi Phi Island Village launched the "SOS" (Save Our Sharks) project, an exciting new conservation initiative. The resort works closely with experts from the Phuket Marine Biological Center (PMBC) to care for bamboo sharks. From incubating the eggs and raising the larvae to releasing the young sharks into their natural habitat, this initiative contributes to the preservation of this important species and the long-term improvement of marine ecosystem health.

This is the latest in a series of campaigns initiated by the Marine Discovery Centre, an innovative facility that serves as a hub for the environmental efforts of SAIi Phi Phi Island Village. This interactive center features indoor and outdoor exhibits, video rooms, and aquariums, offering a fascinating glimpse into the underwater world. It drives important projects such as coral propagation, mangrove planting, and breeding and reintroduction programs for native species, including clownfish.

To celebrate the launch of SOS, SAii Phi Phi Island Village has developed a new package that offers Thai and foreign “inSAiiders” – including curious young explorers and budding marine biologists – an exciting island adventure with many family-friendly activities and excursions to the fascinating marine park.

The "Marine Discoveries" package is available for bookings until December 23, 2021, and allows families to travel together in style. Up to two children under 12 years of age* receive free accommodation and meals. Guests also enjoy a guided tour of the Marine Discovery Centre and an introduction to the SOS program, a half-day longboat trip around the island, and complimentary use of the fitness center, tennis court, and non-motorized water sports such as stand-up paddleboarding and sea kayaking. All guests also benefit from daily breakfast and a 25% discount on food, beverages, and spa treatments throughout their stay.

Prices start at just 6,750 THB net per room per night for a Superior Garden Bungalow. A minimum stay of two nights is required. Other options include the Deluxe Bungalow with Sea View (8,000 THB net), the Junior Suite right on the beach (14,000 THB net), the One-Bedroom Pool Villa on the Hillside (18,000 THB net), the Family Bungalow with Two Bedrooms (19,000 THB net), and the Spectacular Two-Bedroom Pool Villa on the Hillside (26,000 THB net). Details of the offers can be found here.

“Young people today are passionate about the environment and want to actively contribute to protecting our planet. At SAii Phi Phi Island Village, we can support them in making a difference. Our Marine Discovery Centre offers fascinating insights into the underwater world. From beach cleanups to caring for baby sharks, we let our young guests actively participate in conservation efforts, giving them a sense of accomplishment and perhaps even inspiring the next generation of conservationists and marine biologists,” said Nantiphat Saechao, marine biologist at SAii Phi Phi Island Village.

“We are delighted to present the SOS project in collaboration with the Phuket Marine Biology Centre. Bamboo sharks are listed as vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), so this breeding and release program will play a crucial role in the conservation of this important species. We look forward to welcoming families to our resort in the coming weeks,” he added.
