Cocohut Beach Resort
Compare prices
Cocohut Beach Resort sits on Leela Beach (also known as Seekantang or Had Rin Nai Sunset Beach) on the quieter southern tip of Koh Phangan, offering an upmarket retreat away from the island's busier shores. The resort features a range of rooms and private villas in a lush, tropical setting directly on the beach, making it a strong choice for travellers seeking comfort and seclusion without sacrificing convenience. Guests can expect a polished experience anchored by refined on-site dining, a swimming pool, and a dedicated spa, giving the property a self-contained feel suited to those who prefer to unwind in one place. The beachfront location provides calm, scenic surroundings that contrast with the more energetic atmosphere found closer to Had Rin's Full Moon Party area, making it particularly appealing to couples and leisure travellers looking for a more peaceful stay. Good to know: Leela Beach is a short distance from Had Rin, so guests have the option to explore the wider area while still retreating to a quieter base. Travellers planning to visit during the Full Moon Party period should book well in advance, as accommodation across Koh Phangan fills quickly during those dates. Checking the resort's official website before arrival is advisable for the latest rates, villa availability, and any seasonal packages.
