Coral View Resort

...Coral View Resort is located on Haad Sai Daeng, an idyllic golden sand beach on the south coast of Koh Tao. There are only two resorts that share the beach which is just a stones throw away from the infamous Shark Island, regarded as Koh Tao's best dive site and amongst the finest in the Gulf of Thailand.

...The Thai and Australian couple who manage the resort are so hospitable that it has been listed in the both English and French guide books whilst the beautiful cove of Haad Sai Daeng provides the perfect picture of paradise. Whether you want to spend your days exploring the amazing underwater world on your doorstep or relaxing on a secluded beach, Coral View Resort fulfils all your desert island dreams.

The Local Area...

...If you're looking for things to do and see around Had Sai Daeng, the south coast of Koh Tao is well connected and in a good position to explore the island. The region is fairly mountainous away from the coast, and there are a number of trails and walks to follow; the beautiful beach of Aow Leuk is just 15 minutes walk away and Chalok Baan Kao, the local village with a busy beach, is 20 minutes walk in the other direction. Here you'll find a variety of local shops, restaurants and bars; a few of which throw regular parties. Venus Park, the island's biggest and most popular nightspot is also within walking distance, but fortunately the hills ensure that it is well out of hearing distance.

...There are several great viewpoints in the region and also numerous other attractions including the King Rama V Rock just outside Mae Haad Village which is 10 minutes drive away and is the main port and centre for Koh Tao. Mae Haad has grown from humble beginnings into a bustling market place, with a host of restaurants, boutique shops and loads of bars. It's a great place to spend the day shopping or go for a night out and it's also the main point of entry or exit on Koh Tao; so its proximity makes leaving a little bit easier, though when you arrive at Coral View, you'll wonder why anyone would ever want to leave!

...The Coral View restaurant is an amazing structure that is built into the hillside amongst huge granite boulders. It has scenic views out to nearby Shark Island and two different levels offering a great variety of seating options to enjoy the excellent food or wind down with a beer or a tantalising cocktail. The upper level houses the main dining area whilst the lower level has a pool table and traditional Thai raised seating area.

...The experienced team of chefs are equally at home cooking both Thai and Western cuisine, using imported cheeses, spices and herbs for authenticity and only the freshest vegetables, meats and seafood. There is also a beach bar, which is the perfect place to cool off after a hard day sunbathing or stargaze to the sounds of the sea lapping up on the beach.

::  Our Facilities  ::

...The resort has its own dive shop running trips to all of the best local dive sites; and with Shark Island just a short distance from the beach, it's a great place to take a relaxed dive in a small group. There are PADI courses available and also snorkelling, fishing and boat trips. Coral View Resort has glass bottomed kayaks and snorkelling equipment for hire, a variety of beach sports and can even arrange water skiing for thrill seekers.
