With a prime location on a secluded stretch of white-sand beach in the south of Koh Tao, close to some of Koh Tao’s best snorkelling & dive spots, the Haad Tien Beach Resort is the best of the few upmarket accommodation options on the island. The land the hotel is built on has been in the family for several decades, and was used as a sanctuary to escape the bustle of the city before being transformed into a stunning boutique hotel.

There are 70 beautifully designed villas, some with private pools. The resort has been built in a rustic style in order to minimize impact on the natural environment, but with contemporary design giving the rooms and shared areas a stylish upscale vibe. The resort has its own dive centre, and plenty of activities can be arranged with the help of hotel staff, including snorkeling trips, guided nature walks, and sea kayaking.  Other highlights are the luxurious spa, inviting outdoor swimming pool, fun Beach Bar, and the exceptional restaurant options offering both Thai and Western cuisines.

The Beach Club is a new extension to the Haad Tien Beach Resort. Located on the same stretch of beach, guests staying at either resort can use the facilities of both. Enjoying a slightly elevated position, rooms at The Beach Club boast fantastic views over the bay.
