Travel Guide: Beachfront Pool Villa and Apartment, Ko Chang

Introduction

Nestled on the quiet, laid-back northeastern coast of Ko Chang, Thailand’s second-largest island, Beachfront Pool Villa and Apartment delivers the secluded tropical escape most visitors dream of, without sacrificing the convenience of modern amenities. Tucked in the low-key village of Ban Dan Mai, this property trades the crowds of Ko Chang’s busier west coast resorts for unobstructed Andaman Sea views and gentle ocean breezes, making it ideal for romantic getaways, family holidays, and long-term stays with pets in tow.

Hotel Overview

Located at 23170 Ban Dan Mai, this collection of standalone villas and apartments caters to every travel style, from short-stay vacationers to slow travelers who want to settle into island life. All units feature private entrances, soundproofing, fully functional kitchens (complete with a fridge, microwave, coffee maker, washing machine, and all necessary cookware), private bathrooms with hot showers, and free WiFi throughout the property. Pet lovers can bring their four-legged companions at no extra charge, with only advance notice required.

Outdoor spaces are the property’s star attraction: every villa has access to a private plunge pool, and the shared year-round outdoor infinity pool comes with a poolside bar, sun loungers, and shaded umbrellas overlooking the ocean. Additional perks include free private on-site parking, paid airport transfers, car rental services, a small on-site mini-market, barbecue facilities for guest use, and a multi-lingual staff fluent in English, Thai, and German ready to help with tour bookings.

Local Attractions

Three standout nearby attractions make this location unbeatable. First, *Dan Mai Beach* is a five-minute walk from the property: a quiet, powdery stretch of sand almost untouched by mass tourism, perfect for morning swims, sunset picnics, and long walks without the crowds. Second, *Khlong Phlu Waterfall*, a 20-minute drive inland, is Ko Chang’s most accessible waterfall, with tiered swimming holes surrounded by lush rainforest and gentle hiking trails for all skill levels. Third, *Bang Bao Fishing Village*, 30 minutes away by car, is a charming stilted fishing village where you can book snorkeling and diving day trips to the surrounding Mu Ko Chang National Park marine parks, and eat fresh grilled seafood at waterfront restaurants.

Travel Tips

Book a private pool villa for a romantic getaway, and opt for a two-bedroom apartment if you’re traveling with family or friends. Paid airport transfers from Trat Airport (the closest gateway to Ko Chang) take the hassle out of island travel, but you can also rent a car directly through the hotel to explore the island at your own pace. If you plan to cook or barbecue, stop at the local fresh market in central Ban Dan Mai for cheap, fresh seafood and tropical produce before heading back to the villa. Finally, don’t skip waking up early to catch the sunrise over the Gulf of Thailand from your private terrace – it’s one of the best free experiences the property has to offer.
