The Haad Tien Beach Resort

This is a boutique resort nestled amongst the palm groves on the southern tip of Koh Tao. The club resort is totally private as it is situated in its own natural bay, with granite cliffs on both sides and jungle behind, yet the resort is only a kilometre away from the nearest village with local shops and restaurants. The resort is situated on the beautiful Haad Tien Beach, also known as Shark Bay. This beach is over 400 metres long and the resort is lucky enough to have the whole beach to itself. The beach itself is one of the most outstanding beaches on Koh Tao with brilliant white powdery sand and crystal clear, warm waters. It opens out onto a crystal blue shallow lagoon which is perfect for swimming and snorkelling, and at night all that can be heard is the lapping of the waves and the whistling of the breeze.

Privacy and a pleasant ambience set the 43 villas/houses apart. The friendly staff at the reception desk are happy to answer any questions. Amenities include a baggage storage service and a safe.
