Where to Stay and Best Hotels in Koh Tao

Rainy season at the beach? Who says you can't travel! Did you know this is actually the best time for deep diving at Koh Tao? It's an experience not to be missed.

For all divers, Gother recommends two must-visit diving spots when you come to Koh Tao. The first is Chumphon Pinnacle, a large underwater rock formation rich with various coral species, colorful sea anemones, and abundant marine life such as batfish, barracudas, and giant grouper. The second is Sail Rock, the land of whale sharks that divers seek. Though it takes over two hours to reach from the shore, the chance to see a whale shark in person is worth the journey.

When it comes to accommodation on Koh Tao, we would like to introduce you to 5 beautiful and cozy hotels. This trip offers not only the stunning underwater beauty but also the comfort and unforgettable experience of these exceptional places to stay.

Accommodation on Koh Tao with a stunning sea view in a very private atmosphere. One of the charms of Cape Shark Villas is that each room is positioned several meters above sea level, cascading down the high cliffs, with all rooms facing the wide-open sea. Therefore, no matter which room you choose to stay in, you can be confident that you'll enjoy the sea view from morning till evening, and you will never get bored of looking at it all day long.

A Koh Tao hotel with a great vibe and beauty in every corner, perfect for photos. This place comes with the concept of Barefoot Luxury, offering luxurious villas on white sandy beaches contrasting with turquoise waters. It allows us to fully relax in a private tropical atmosphere. The highlight here is the seaside pool that runs parallel to the beach, surrounded by gardens and coconut trees. It can be said that this is one of the most beautiful swimming pools on Koh Tao.

A luxurious Bali-style resort with an atmosphere that’s a perfect ten, even though the accommodation is not beachfront. It’s incredibly private and charming. Besides being a place to stay, it’s also a PADI Dive Resort. Students here will practice in the pool to get accustomed to the equipment, balance, and various skills before heading out to the open sea. Plus, they have their own diving boat, so there's no worry about overcrowding on the boat.

A luxurious resort in the south of Koh Tao, a true haven for relaxation on a private beach. This resort is beautifully designed to blend seamlessly with the local way of life.
