Koh Phangan has matured into a truly restorative and magical island. Options for spiritual growth are resplendent, and there really is an amazing selection of tasty restaurants throughout the island. If you want to eat vegan, Italian, French, you name it; there is a restaurant for you here, and the owners of Hemmingway’s are regulars of and friends with many of them.

We believe that a transformation is occurring on the island, and people are taking a more holistic approach to their lifestyles. As well as spiritual and gentle pursuits, there are more and more “hard” activities on the island, from Muay Thai to MMA, Kitesurfing to cycling, the island is becoming a home and mecca to more and more people who are interested in balancing flexibility and strength, spirituality with functional fitness, meditation with creativity and, we hope, partying with fuelling the body in the best possible way.

To this end we aim to help provide a space where people can enjoy something approaching a personal nutritionist, in an easily digestible form.

We are incredibly happy to be sharing the amazing space with the good people from Footprint Cafes, who’s mission is a little different to ours, and truly quite remarkable, we’ll let them tell you all about it. There is a new food court and social hub in town; we can’t wait to welcome you!

Hippocrates (the “father” of modern medicine, who’s name is leant to the oath all doctors must swear), is  is often credited with the line “Let food be thy medicine”, and while this credit is erroneous, it does sum up the intent of his message. We are built by what we consume, and the building blocks we use can both cause and alleviate health issues.

Top athletes will use personal nutritionists to guide them as they strive to create the perfect performance machine. We aim to allow you a similar experience, by letting you know precisely  what is in every dish we serve, so that you can ascertain if it will serve you.

We try not to make ethical judgements on diet choices; we have vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian  and omnivorous options, but we do try wherever possible to make sure our ingredients of the best and most sustainable quality.

Nutrition science is a constantly evolving area, and experts in the field frequently argue about many complex issues. We aim to create our dishes using the best available, current and consistent advice for keeping you in great health.

You may want to lose weight, build muscle or maintain – but whatever your pleasure, we will help make sure you do it in the most fabulous way.

Located on the picturesque Laem Son Lake in Sri Thanu, just next to the entrance for “Zen Beach”, Hemmingway’s is not just about nourishing your body.

We have free wifi and electricity for those digital nomads who want to unleash their creativity in stunning surroundings, with delicious nutrition available on tap.

Some evenings we will be blessed with the finest musicians and artists on the island to keep you entertained while you eat or drink

We are also proud to host events such as Writers collaborations, educational talks (TED talks KPN syle), music workshops and more in our secluded “Creative Cave”.

Mindfulness and spiritual practices can also be enjoyed in small groups on our stunning “Upper Deck”, overlooking the lake from a wonderful elevated platform.
