Description

The AVA Resort Koh Tao is a resort on Sairee Beach, Koh Tao, with an infinity pool overlooking the sea. Set on a quiet hillside, it is about 2.8 km from Koh Tao's town centre.

Accommodation ranges from compact double rooms to suites and villas, with a family room for up to three.

Suites and villas offer more space, with selected options adding a bath or private pool.

The resort has an outdoor pool, sun terrace and garden, plus snorkelling and an on-site coffee house. Free private parking is available, and WiFi is free in the rooms. Sairee Beach is 650 m away; guest feedback notes that steep hillside roads can make walking difficult without a scooter.

The AVA Resort Koh Tao sits on the hillside above Sairee Beach, on Koh Tao’s west coast. Sairee is the island’s main beach strip, with white sand, dive schools, restaurants and beach bars along its 1.8 km shore. The resort’s quieter uphill position is close enough for beach visits—Sairee Beach is 650 m away—but guest feedback notes that the steep roads can make walking back difficult without a scooter. Rooms and shared spaces have views across the sea and towards sunset, with Koh Nang Yuan also visible.

Koh Tao has no airport; ferries arrive at Mae Haad pier on the west coast. Lomprayah Koh Tao Pier is 2.7 km from the resort, and local pick-up truck taxis run from the pier to Sairee; scooter rentals are another way to manage the island’s steep roads. The crossing from Koh Samui takes around 1.5–2 hours. Free private parking is available for those travelling by road, and the resort asks you to share your expected arrival time in advance; check-in is from 14:00 to 18:00.

Top Point is 750 m away, and the mapped Viewpoint is 1.2 km from the resort. Ao Hat Sai Ri is 1.4 km away, while Nangyuan Island is 1.7 km away; long-tail boats from Sairee or Mae Haad usually take 10–20 minutes, and day visitors leave the islets by about 17:00. Snorkelling and diving are popular island activities, with coral close to shore in several east-coast coves. From November to March, Sairee and the west coast are generally on Koh Tao’s calmer side.
