About the Haad Tien Beach Resort

The Haad Tien Beach Resort, also known as The Beach Club by Haadtien, is a boutique resort located on Ao Thian Ok Bay, commonly known as Shark Bay, on the south coast of Koh Tao. The resort occupies most of the beach, ensuring the sand remains calm even when snorkeling boats are anchored in the bay.

The accommodations are villas – from idyllic hillside retreats to family villas, pool villas, and beachfront villas with private pools – that stretch through expansive gardens to the water's edge. There is a pool, a spa, a restaurant, and a dive center. The reef extends right off the beach, and guests consistently praise the snorkeling, where they can observe young blacktip reef sharks and turtles in the crystal-clear water, as well as the excellent service and stunning location. The resort is particularly popular with honeymooners.

The road down to Shark Bay is steep, so you should arrange a transfer from Mae Haad Pier when booking, rather than using a rented scooter.

    Tips for visiting hotels and resorts

    Compare the rates of online travel agencies and direct providers.

    After finding a deal on Agoda or Booking.com, you should always check the hotel's own website as well. Many Thai hotels offer a best price guarantee or extras like free breakfast when booking directly.

    Location is more important than the stars

    A well-located 3-star hotel is often better than a remote 5-star resort. In Bangkok, proximity to a BTS or MRT station saves hours; on islands, proximity to the desired beach is crucial.
