Location

The Rocks holiday villas are located only 4-5 minutes walk to the most beautiful part of Koh Tao’s main beach ‘Sairee’. There you will find a wide selection of restaurants and bars along the beach. Within 8-10 minutes walk, you will reach Sairee village for shopping, more restaurants, bars and nightlife. Enjoy Koh Tao’s large variety of seafood, Thai style and international cuisine such as sushi, Mexican, Mediterranean and Australian BBQs. Please note that the road leading up to the villas is very steep in some places.

“Koh Tao”, which is Thai for “Turtle Island”, arrived at its name from the days when the water surrounding the island were rich with turtles and the island was their breeding ground. Still today, divers and snorkellers can swim with these majestic creatures. The island is approx. 7 kilometers long and 3 kilometers wide. It nestles within the warm, clear waters of the Gulf of Thailand about 70 km off the eastern shore of southern Thailand, just north of the Islands Koh Samui and Koh Phangan. The fact that it lies only 7 degrees over the equator gives it a warm, tropical climate throughout the year.

Koh Tao, with its very special charm and un-spoilt nature is becoming one of Thailand’s premiere get-a-ways. You will find idyllic palm fringed bays with stunning beaches, surrounded by lush fauna. There are also stylish restaurants, fine dining, relaxing spas and lots of activities that make Koh Tao a dream holiday location. But most importantly there is still a lot of unspoiled landscapes and friendly locals.

How to get to Koh Tao?

The easiest way to get to Koh Tao Island is probably via the Island of Koh Samui, having it’s own international airport. From Samui, Koh Tao is only one and half-hours boat ride away. Twice a day there are convenient air-conditioned ferries available to and from Koh Samui Island, Koh Phangan Island and Chumphon (on the main land). Of course we offer free pick-up from the pier.
