About Koh Tao

Any island-hopping adventure off Thailand's east coast should feature Koh Tao. The small, lush sister of Koh Samui and Koh Pha-Ngan, this jungle-topped island feels excitingly undiscovered in places. As well as living it up on its bar-filled beach, it's easy to escape civilisation and venture up into the hills to find unforgettable views across the island. Many travellers are drawn to Koh Tao by its easily accessed dive spots and vibrant coral reefs that are home to turtles and abundant sea life.

You’ll find lots of beachside hostels in Koh Tao as well as jungle retreats. You can base yourself in a hut next to Sairee Beach's white sands, in a traditional Thai bungalow surrounded by tropical greenery or in a hilltop Koh Tao hostel with island views. No matter how far they are off the beaten path, most Koh Tao hostels offer free Wi-Fi. Some also have swimming pools, on-site bars and rooftop terraces.

Unwind on the picturesque island of Ko Tao, where serene beaches and crystal-clear waters await throughout the year. Whether you have a day or two, the island offers a perfect escape. Discover more with our guides: Ko Tao, 24 Hours, or 2 Days.
