Suwan Palm Resort Facilities

Hotel Facilities at Suwan Palm Resort :

The nine islands building the Similan Archipelago are only a few hours by boat away and stretch in a straight line from south to north like tropical jewels in the crystal clear blue of the Andaman Sea. The largest one is the northern island number 8, featuring the safest harbor with a beautiful lagoon and sandy beach. Here you will also find the so often photographed landmark of the Similan Islands - an easy to climb pile of huge granite boulders from which you will have an excellent panorama view over the picturesque bays of island number 8 and 9.



The impressive boulder formations also continue below the water line. They form - covered with coral in beautiful colors - a breathtaking underwater architecture which at some places reminds of sunken cities. Although all dive sites vary much in appearance, Christmas Point and Elephant Head Rock are the ones with the most impressive underwater boulder formations. Here you can find swimthroughs, small caves and caverns with visibility often around 40 meters, making these reefs certainly the best spots for wide angle photography. Sharks and other bigger pelagics can be encountered frequently at the Similan Islands. The best spots for big fish are Shark Fin Reef, and Deep Six. The most attractive coral formations, featuring huge sea fans and sponges, can be found at the dive site romantically named East of Eden.
