Aiya Resort Koh-Tao

Aiya Resort Koh-Tao is a resort in Sairee Beach on Koh Tao, with a year-round outdoor swimming pool and rooms overlooking the pool or mountains. Its quiet setting puts Sairee Beach 650 m away, with island restaurants and bars within walking distance.

The three room options measure 32 m² and accommodate up to two people. They have air conditioning, a private bathroom, a flat-screen TV and a minibar; two room types also have a balcony. Twin rooms use two single beds, while the double rooms have an extra-large double bed. Pool and mountain views are a feature across the room range.

You can spend time by the outdoor pool, relax on the sun terrace or use the outdoor seating area and pool bar. The resort also has a tour desk and luggage storage, with diving available in the surroundings. Free WiFi is available throughout, and free private parking is possible at a nearby location. The adults-only setting suits couples and travellers looking for a base near Koh Tao’s west-coast beach.

The three room types at Aiya Resort Koh-Tao each measure 32 m² and accommodate up to two people. All have air conditioning, a private bathroom, a flat-screen TV, a minibar, and views of the pool and mountains. The main choice is between a twin layout with two single beds and double rooms with an extra-large double bed.

Two options include a balcony overlooking the pool: the Twin Room with Pool View and the Double Room with Balcony. The Double Room has no balcony detail in its room features, while still offering the same pool and mountain outlook. Room facilities also include a sofa, toiletries, towels and a hairdryer. The twin room’s balcony and paired beds suit travellers who prefer separate sleeping spaces; the double choices provide a larger shared bed. Each room is for two, so the accommodation is arranged for couples or pairs rather than families travelling with children.

Outdoor spaces include a sun terrace, terrace, picnic area and outdoor furniture. The resort also offers free WiFi throughout and free private parking at a nearby location, where a reservation is not needed. A shuttle service, luggage storage and a tour desk are available, alongside private or express check-in and check-out.

Activities and entertainment include snorkelling, diving, hiking and fishing, as well as cooking classes and tours or classes about local culture. Pub crawls, live music and broadcasts of live sports are among the other options. The property is adults-only and has a shared lounge with a TV area. In-room practical features include air conditioning, a private bathroom, a minibar and a tea and coffee maker. For time outdoors, the terrace and picnic area provide places to sit between activities.

Sairee Beach occupies Koh Tao’s west coast and is the island’s main stretch for swimming, diving and sunset views towards Koh Nang Yuan. The beach is 650 m from Aiya Resort Koh-Tao, while Top of the rock is 850 m away. The resort is 2.1 km from Koh Tao’s town centre. Restaurants and bars line the beach, and guests describe the resort’s immediate setting as quiet compared with the livelier parts of the shore.

Ferries are the way to reach Koh Tao, arriving at Mae Haad on the west coast. Lomprayah Koh Tao Pier is 2.1 km from the resort; island pickup-truck taxis can take you on the last leg, and the property also offers a shuttle service. Mae Haad and Sairee are joined by a flat path along the shore, a walk of about 15 minutes between the two places. Free private parking is possible at a nearby location without a reservation.

Coconut Viewpoint is 1.1 km away, and Ao Hin Wong is 1.3 km away. Mae Haad Beach, 1.6 km from the resort, gives you another coast to explore, while Nangyuan Island is 3.2 km away and reached by boat. Sairee’s west-facing shore is generally on the calmer side of the island from November to March; from April to October, the east-coast bays are more often sheltered. Diving schools and boat trips around Koh Tao make the island’s reefs a major draw.
