About

The Lighthouse is not a polished resort, but a living project on the cliffs of Koh Tao. Perched above the sea and surrounded by jungle, it’s a place where mornings begin with yoga on the deck, evenings end with movie nights under the stars, and days are shaped by shared meals, music, and the sound of goats wandering nearby.

Life here is raw and simple. You’ll sleep in a rustic dorm or bell tent, shower under the sky, and watch storms roll across the bay. Expect unfinished corners—gardens still being planted, bamboo beams waiting for their next layer, projects in motion that you’re welcome to join.

This is not for everyone. The Lighthouse is remote and reached only by motorbike on a steep, rough road. Nature is everywhere: geckos on the walls, insects at night, chickens and creatures moving through. Facilities are basic, but community is strong, and the magic is in building together.

If you want infinity pools and cocktails, look elsewhere. If you want starlit skies, jungle silence, and the chance to be part of something growing—welcome home.

Super nice place great vibes all around really good food at meals. Hard to get to you can’t be inexperienced on a scooter and taxis don’t like going up the hill but if you take your time you’ll be fine. Very remote nice to get away from the crowds and people down in the city. WiFi didn’t always work very well. Lots of animals all around, ants in tents and lizards in showers and dogs all around. Ultimately it was a great stay but take some time elsewhere to see the rest of the island.

Beautiful view and atmosphere which we loved!! The bathrooms were very nice and always clean however it was very hot in the dorms as when we arrived the room fan was broken- just something to consider if you are not good with heat when sleeping etc. We also did not mind the drive at all as we have motorbike experience, but if you can’t ride it would be very difficult to get too.
