Description

Tanote Villa is a 3-star resort in Tanote Bay & Ao Leuk on Koh Tao, with sea-view pools above Tanote Bay. Its hillside setting suits travellers looking for a quieter east-coast stay, while villas and larger family rooms give you a choice of layouts. Several rooms open onto balconies or terraces, with garden, mountain, sea or pool views depending on the accommodation.

The resort has an outdoor swimming pool, a garden, a restaurant serving Thai and European dishes, and a bar for snacks and drinks. A tour desk can arrange travel and sightseeing, while the facilities include free WiFi in public areas and free public parking on site. Room options range from a garden villa to connecting family rooms, a family suite and villas with private pools. Tanote Bay Beach is a 10–15-minute walk away; guest feedback notes that the path down to the bay is steep. The hillside position also gives the pool areas wide views over the sea and surrounding greenery.

Tanote Villa stands on a hillside in Tanote Bay & Ao Leuk on Koh Tao's east coast, 2.2 km from the town centre. This quieter stretch has rocky coves and coral close to shore, with resort restaurants rather than the busier row of shops and bars found around Sairee. Tanote Bay Beach is 250 m away in the surrounding places list, while the walk down from the resort takes about 10–15 minutes. Guest feedback describes the path as short but steep, so allow for the slope on the return uphill.

Koh Tao has no airport; boats arrive at Mae Haad pier on the west coast. Crossings take around 1.5–2 hours from Koh Samui and 45–90 minutes from Koh Phangan. Lomprayah Koh Tao Pier is 2.3 km from the resort, and the final drive crosses the island on steep roads before climbing to the hillside property. Free public parking is available on site, and a free shuttle service is among the resort's transport facilities. Check-in runs from 14:00 to 20:00, and you need to notify the resort of your expected arrival time in advance.

The nearby coast has options for swimming and snorkelling: Love Koh Tao viewpoint is 550 m away, Ao Lang Khai is 700 m away, Laem Thian is 1.1 km away and Ao Leuk is 1.5 km away. Tanote Bay is known for coral and fish close to the shore, while the east-coast coves are generally calmer from April to October. From November to March, the west and south coasts are usually the calmer side, and rough seas can disrupt ferry crossings, particularly from November to January.
