Description

Palm Leaf Resort Koh Tao is a 3-star resort on Sairee Beach, Koh Tao, with beachfront bungalows and several sea-view options. Set along the island’s west coast, it is 2.2 km from Koh Tao’s centre. Guests describe the northern stretch of Sairee as quieter than the southern nightlife strip, while dive schools, restaurants and beach bars line much of the 1.8 km beach.

Room choices include bungalows and villa-style accommodation, from a 20 m² Standard Bungalow with garden views to 24 m² Deluxe Bungalows with sea-view or beachfront outlooks. Villa rooms range from 20 to 25 m², and the Deluxe Family Room accommodates up to four people. The detailed bungalow and villa options have balconies or terraces, air conditioning and private bathrooms; some also add a flat-screen TV or seating area.

The resort has an on-site restaurant serving Thai dishes, fresh seafood and Western cuisine, as well as room service and a tour desk for travel arrangements. Snorkelling and canoeing are among the activities, and the property has a private beach area. Free private parking is available without reservation, and WiFi is free throughout.
