Our Sanctuaries
Providing a safe haven for Phuket's elephants
Immerse yourself in one of our ethical elephant encounters at Phuket Elephant Care. Choose from 3 unique sanctuaries, all conveniently located for easy access from your hotel on the entire Phuket island.
Naithon Sanctuary
Experience the wild side of Phuket
Tucked away in Naithon, Phuket Elephant Care sanctuary stands out for being the island's biggest sanctuary. We offer a one-of-a-kind "full day explorer program," perfect for those who want to truly connect with these gentle giants. Here, these gentle giants are no longer burdened by a history of toil in logging or tourist entertainment. Instead, the sanctuary prioritizes their well-being, offering a sprawling sanctuary that closely resembles their natural habitat.
Loch Palm Sanctuary
Mountain magic in the clouds
Nestled amidst the lush greenery of Loch Palm, Phuket Elephant Care sanctuary offers a unique opportunity to connect with these magnificent creatures. Unlike sanctuaries with a one-size-fits-all approach, Phuket Elephant Care caters to your individual preferences by providing a variety of programs, excluding the full-day experience. This allows you to create a personalized encounter that seamlessly fits into your Phuket itinerary, whether you're short on time or simply want a focused experience.
Sakhu Sanctuary
Serenity sheltered by Sirinat
Nestled near the pristine borders of Sirinat National Park, the Sakhu Elephant Sanctuary offers a rare and refined opportunity to connect with nature’s most magnificent creatures. This sanctuary is dedicated exclusively to an observation-only philosophy, catering to the conscious traveler who understands that the most profound way to honor these rescued giants is to simply witness them in their natural element. Unlike other facilities, Sakhu eliminates direct contact to prioritize the autonomy and peace of the elephants, ensuring a serene environment where the animals are free to forage, socialized, and wander through the lush tropical landscape without the pressure of human interaction.
