Location

Hotels in Sairee Beach

Kohtao Heritage Hideaway stands on a steep, wooded hillside above Sairee Beach, a 1.8 km stretch of sand on Koh Tao’s west coast. Sairee Beach is 750 m away, and the resort is about 2.9 km from Koh Tao’s centre. The beachfront has dive schools, restaurants and bars, with sunset views across the Gulf towards Koh Nang Yuan. The grounds have a quieter jungle character than the main beach strip; a local restaurant and shopping area is a five-minute drive away.

Koh Tao has no airport: visitors arrive by boat at Mae Haad pier on the west coast. Lomprayah Koh Tao Pier is 2.8 km from the resort. The final approach climbs a steep hill, and guests have noted that a vehicle is useful for access. A free shuttle service is offered, and free public parking is available nearby. Samui International Airport is 66.2 km away and Chumphon Airport is 83 km away; reaching the island from either requires a boat connection.

For snorkelling and diving, Sairee’s shoreline and the island’s dive sites are the main draws; Koh Tao has more than 25 dive sites and dozens of dive schools. Top Point is 700 m from the resort, Koh Nang Yuan Beach is 1.2 km away, Mango Bay Beach is 1.8 km away, and Mae Haad Beach is 2.4 km away. Koh Nang Yuan’s three islets are joined by sandbars and make a popular boat excursion from Sairee or Mae Haad. Sairee and other west-coast beaches are generally on the calmer side from November to March, while rough seas can disrupt ferry services, especially from November to January.
