Nearby Attractions

Three unmissable local spots are just a short trip from the resort:

• Ao Phai Beach: A 10-minute walk from Green Bay, this crescent-shaped stretch of sand is one of Koh Samet’s quietest and most beautiful. With soft powdery sand, calm shallow waters perfect for swimming, and scattered shaded casuarina trees, it’s ideal for lazy afternoons picnicking or sunset walks.
• Koh Samet National Park Headquarters: A 15-minute scooter ride away, this protected park area covers most of the island’s interior and northern coast. It features well-maintained hiking trails that wind through tropical dry forest, with lookout points offering panoramic views of the Gulf of Thailand, and entry is just a small nominal fee for international visitors.
• Vongdeuan Beach: A 20-minute ride south, this lively stretch is home to some of Koh Samet’s best beach bars and seafood shacks. Come here in the evening to enjoy fresh grilled barracuda and mango sticky rice while watching fire dancers perform along the shore.

Travel Tips

Since the resort has no on-site parking, most travelers arrive via ferry from the mainland at Ban Phe, and the resort can arrange a transfer from the pier directly to the property. Many activities on-site, including diving, snorkeling, canoeing, and fishing, require an extra fee, so book these through the resort’s tour desk for discounted rates compared to third-party operators. High season runs from November to February, when temperatures are cool and rainfall is minimal – book at least four weeks in advance to secure your preferred room type, especially during holiday weekends. Finally, don’t forget to pack reef-safe sunscreen if you plan to join the resort’s snorkeling or diving trips to protect Koh
