Koh Kood Island Resort
Compare prices
Koh Kood Island Resort sits on the shores of Ao Yai Ked (อ่าวยายเกิด), one of the quieter bays on Koh Kood, an island prized for its relatively unspoiled nature and relaxed pace compared to busier destinations in the Gulf of Thailand. The resort caters to travellers looking to disconnect, with a setting that puts the natural beauty of the island front and centre. Guests can expect a lodging experience focused on tranquillity and coastal surroundings. The resort's position on Koh Kood means visitors have access to clear waters and a slower rhythm of island life that the area is known for. The property falls under the Koh Chang region administratively, though Koh Kood itself sits further south and has a distinctly more remote feel than its better-known neighbour. Good to know: Koh Kood is accessible by ferry or speedboat from the mainland or from Koh Chang, and transfer times and schedules can vary by season. The island has limited infrastructure compared to more developed Thai resort destinations, so those seeking full-service amenities should confirm what is included directly with the resort before booking. The dry season, roughly November through April, generally offers the most reliable weather for island travel in this part of the Gulf of Thailand. Checking the resort's official website at kohkoodislandresort.com for current availability and transfer arrangements is recommended before arrival.
