The Plantation Koh Tao

The Plantation Koh Tao is a 4-star villa in Sairee Beach, Koh Tao, with sea-view accommodation set among coconut palms. On a hillside above the beach, it offers a studio apartment and two private villas, including options with private pools. Sairee Beach and local restaurants are within walking distance, and the property provides complimentary pick-up from the pier.

The accommodation ranges from a 45 m² studio for two to villas of 115 m² for four and 241 m² for six. Each has a private bathroom, air conditioning, balcony and kitchen or kitchenette; the larger villas add private pools, and the largest has three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Kitchens include equipment for preparing meals, with a microwave in the villas. Free WiFi, free private on-site parking, a garden and terrace round out the facilities. The hillside setting brings sea views and sunset outlooks, although guests should expect numerous steps to reach the units. Stays require at least two nights, and arrival time and ferry details should be shared in advance.

The accommodation ranges from a 45 m² studio apartment for two to villas with two or three bedrooms.

The Plantation Koh Tao sits on a hillside above Sairee Beach, among coconut palms, with sea views and sunset outlooks across the bay. Sairee is Koh Tao’s main west-coast beach: its 1.8 km of sand is lined with dive schools, restaurants and beach bars. The property is 250 m from Sairee Beach and 300 m from Wind Beach Restaurant & Bar. Coconut Viewpoint is 950 m away.

Koh Tao has no airport; ferries arrive at Mae Haad pier on the west coast. Lomprayah Koh Tao Pier is 2.4 km from the villas, and the property provides complimentary pick-up from the pier. Share your estimated arrival time and ferry company name in advance so the pick-up can be arranged. Free private parking is available on site. The accommodation is on a hillside, and stairs lead to the units.

For more time by the water, Ao Hin Wong is 1.7 km away and Ao Muang (mango bay) is 1.9 km away. Nangyuan Island is 2.5 km away; long-tail boats from Sairee or Mae Haad take around 10–20 minutes. Diving is a major activity on Koh Tao, with sites including Chumphon Pinnacle, Southwest Pinnacle, Sail Rock, White Rock and Japanese Gardens. Sairee and the west coast are generally calmer from November to March, while the east coast tends to have calmer conditions from April to October.
