Shantaa Resort Koh Kood
Compare prices
Shantaa Resort Koh Kood offers a relaxed and intimate retreat on one of Thailand's least-developed islands, making it a strong choice for travellers seeking seclusion without sacrificing comfort. The resort features airy villas and suites designed to capture views of the Gulf of Thailand, set within a casual, unhurried atmosphere that reflects the natural character of Koh Kood itself. Guests have access to two private beaches, which set this property apart from many resorts in the region and allow for a more exclusive experience along the shoreline. On-site dining and a bar mean visitors can settle in without needing to venture far, though the island's laid-back local scene is worth exploring. The combination of gulf-facing accommodations, beachfront access, and attentive hospitality has earned the resort consistently strong feedback from guests. Good to know: Koh Kood is significantly less commercialised than neighbouring islands like Koh Chang, and getting there typically requires a ferry or speedboat transfer, so travellers should plan their arrival carefully and factor in transfer times. The resort's listed hours of 10:00 to 19:00 likely refer to reservations or front desk inquiries rather than check-in availability, so contacting the property directly via their website before arrival is advisable to confirm logistics and room availability, particularly during the high season between November and April.
