A-Na-Lay Resort
Compare prices
Nestled on Sai Daeng Beach on the quieter island of Koh Kood, A-Na-Lay Resort offers a relaxed, down-to-earth retreat with direct beach access, an outdoor swimming pool, and a dining venue overlooking the ocean. The resort sits within a natural coastal setting that reflects the relatively unspoiled character of Koh Kood, making it a reasonable choice for travellers seeking a low-key island escape away from the more commercialised parts of the Gulf of Thailand. Guests can expect a casual, nature-oriented atmosphere rather than a polished luxury experience. The private beach and pool provide the core appeal, while on-site dining allows visitors to eat with sea views without venturing far. The resort suits couples and independent travellers who prioritise location and simplicity over five-star amenities. Good to know: Koh Kood is a smaller, less developed island that requires additional travel beyond Koh Chang, typically involving a ferry or speedboat transfer, so travellers should factor in journey time and check transport connections when planning their stay. Visiting outside of the monsoon season, roughly November through April, will give the best chance of calm seas and clear weather. Prospective guests are advised to book directly through the resort website at analay.com and to confirm current facilities and room availability in advance, as details and services can vary by season.
