Where to Stay in Koh Tao

Voted as the top island destination in Thailand, this 25 sq.km exotic rock allows you to stay on many beaches and hidden coves, most of which offer befitting wood and bamboo cabins to luxury venues and cheap accommodation. We hope our abbreviated rendition and list of recommended resorts will help you decide where to stay in Koh Tao for your expectations to be met.

Being as small as it is, almost all locations will see you within moments of Sairee Beach, the primary entertainment area featuring a big concentration of restaurants, bars and a modest nightlife. Sairee Beach accommodation include an assortment of dive resorts, affordable pool villa resorts like Koh Tao Cabana, many budget hotels and, all of them are moments from the vibrant town centre.

On the southern side of Sairee is Jansom Bay featuring the popular Charm Churee Villas. It is an intimate cove flanked by rocky outcrops and the perfect place to snorkel in water which sees limited other tourists. Freedom Beach on the southern tip of the island is the most secluded, pristine, 15 minutes from town and one of the best places to stay for couples on honeymoon.
