Where to Stay in Koh Tao ? – Hotels

Note : Koh Tao is a small island and there is a big demand for the hotels. Be specially attentive in periods of feasts. I visited Koh Tao around the New Year and there was 0 offers left for the 31 of December.

Let’s look at the following Map :

Option 1 : Sairee Beach

This is a great zone to stay. It is Animated + Beautiful + Central.

Sairee is the most animated zone on the island. The road which is parallel and adjacent to the beach is full of restaurants and cafés. It is especially live in the evening.

The beach is long and beautiful. In the evening, there is music from some bars on the beach and even some dancing and fire plays.

You can catch from here a small boat to the famous tiny island Koh Nang Yuan.

Option 2 : Near Mae Haad Pier

The second most animated zone in Koh Tao. There are restaurants and diving schools along the road. There is some life here at night, but not as big and joyful as at the zone of Sairee.

There are at least 2 reasons for which you may want to stay here :

  1. You are at the pier. You don’t need to travel with a Taxi at the arrival day and the departure day.
  2. Strategic position on the island: Close to Sairee, close to the beautiful south and close to the main road. Also, on the day that you will make a boat excursion (yes, you will), you don’t need to travel, you are already near the pier.

There are some budgets hotel here, some restaurants and some motorbike rental.

Option 3 : Around Shark Bay

The south of the island is very beautiful.

You can stay in one of the wonderful resorts in one of the beaches adjacent to Shark Bay.

Koh Tao is small, so it is not a problem to travel to Sairee Beach for the nightlife, when you want.

Option 4 : Anywhere on the island

There are wonderful beaches around Koh Tao. Because Koh Tao is small it is not a huge problem when you live far from the center.

Note the Hotel, Dusit Buncha Resort :

It is located in front of the famous tiny island Koh Nang Yuan, so there is a nice view

Also : There is an Hotel right in Koh Nang Yuan, the tiny island. The hotel is called Nangyuan Island Dive Resort
It is very beautiful to stay here but it is also a special situation with some disadvantages : You need to take a boat each time that you want to be in Koh Tao (for having a variety of restaurants for example). You can see the hotel on the following photo.
