Coral View Resort

Coral View Resort is a 3-star resort on Shark Bay & Sai Daeng, Koh Tao, with Sai Daeng Beach 50 m away. Its south-coast setting pairs a quiet cove with a beachfront setting and opportunities for shore snorkelling.

Four room types range from 18 to 24 m². All have air conditioning and a private bathroom; three feature sea views and balconies, while garden views appear across the range. The Chalet with Sea View accommodates two, and the Beachside Family Room accommodates three, with a single bed and an extra-large double bed. The Hillside Cabin has a seating area and garden outlook.

Coral View Restaurant serves Thai and Western dishes, and breakfast options include continental, Asian, American and buffet styles. A tour desk arranges sightseeing trips, while on-site activities include snorkelling, diving, canoeing and fishing. Free Wi-Fi is available in rooms, and free public parking is possible on site. Complimentary pick-up from Mae Haad Pier supports arrivals at this beach-focused resort.

Coral View Resort has four room categories, all with air conditioning, private bathrooms and garden views. The 18 m² Chalet with Sea View also has a balcony and sea view; the 18 m² Hillside Cabin offers a seating area with a garden outlook. At 20 m², the Beachside Double Room adds a balcony and sea view, while the 24 m² Beachside Family Room has the largest floor area and accommodates up to three people.

The chalet, Beachside Double Room and family option include balconies and sea views, with garden views also noted in these rooms. The room range uses double or extra-large double beds, and the family configuration combines a single bed with an extra-large double. Each category accommodates two people except the family room, which accommodates three. The different floor areas distinguish the compact cabins from the larger beachside family accommodation.

The resort’s outdoor facilities include a sun terrace, garden, outdoor furniture and a private beach area beside the beachfront. Snorkelling, diving, canoeing, fishing, hiking and water sports are available, alongside billiards, mini golf, bicycle rental and cooking classes. A tour desk, shuttle service, luggage storage, currency exchange and laundry are also available.

Coral View Restaurant and the bar provide on-site dining, with kids’ meals, fruit and wine or champagne among the offerings. Massage options include full-body, hand, head, couples, foot, neck and back treatments. Free Wi-Fi is available in the rooms, and free public parking is possible on site. The resort also has family rooms, non-smoking rooms, air conditioning and safety deposit boxes.

Coral View Resort sits on Koh Tao’s south-eastern coast at Shark Bay & Sai Daeng, where small coves replace the long, busy beach strip of Sairee. Ao Sai Daeng is 50 m away; Ao Hin Ngam is 250 m away, Ao Luek is 600 m away, and Shark Bay Beach is 650 m away. The resort is beachfront, with a private beach area and reef life close to shore. Sairee, by contrast, is the island’s main west-coast beach, with dive schools, restaurants and beach bars.

Koh Tao has no airport, so visitors arrive by boat at Mae Haad Pier on the west coast. Lomprayah Koh Tao Pier is 2.7 km from the resort, and Coral View Resort offers free pick-up from Mae Haad Pier; the resort is also a 10-minute drive from the pier. Free public parking is possible on site. Roads descending to Ao Leuk and other east-coast coves are very steep, so take care if travelling by scooter. Check-in runs from 14:00 to 20:00, and you need to tell the resort your expected arrival time in advance.

The tour desk arranges sightseeing trips, with snorkelling, diving and canoeing among the activities available on site. Shore snorkelling is a particular draw: the nearby reef has been associated with sightings of turtles, sharks and colourful fish. Cindy’s Tower is 750 m away and Sun Suwan Viewpoint is 1.1 km away. Long-tail boats reach Koh Nang Yuan from Mae Haad or Sairee in 10–20 minutes. The south and west coasts are generally calmer from November to March, while the Gulf’s rougher period usually falls in October to December.
