A total escape that provides serious pampering, this resort nestles on the hillside above Sairee Beach. Far enough from town to feel tranquil, it's nevertheless convenient to restaurants, bars, shops, and the island's longest beach. The accommodations are nine luxury villas, each with its own infinity pool and veranda facing the sea.
On the far northern end of Sairee Beach, this is one of Koh Tao's few boutique resorts. Choose between the circular, thatched-roof villas or Mediterranean-style with tile and wood floors, four-poster beds, and panoramic windows. The wooden cottages, which are farther up the hill and away from the beach, have bamboo-frame beds, native art, and decks that face south toward Sairee Beach. Rooms on the hill have stairs leading down to a snorkeling spot. The stylish restaurant, just above the water, is open for dinner.
