About the retreat, Koh Chang

Nestled on the island of Koh Chang in Thailand's Trat province, The Retreat lives up to its name, offering guests a tranquil and relaxed atmosphere away from the bustling tourist hotspots. A highly regarded property, it attracts travelers seeking a more intimate and restorative stay where comfort and location are prioritized over extensive amenities.

Guests can expect attentive service, comfortable accommodations, and an environment that reflects the natural beauty of Koh Chang. The property is particularly appealing to couples and solo travelers seeking relaxation. The entire stay is geared towards peace and rejuvenation. The consistently positive guest feedback confirms that the property delivers on its promise of being a true escape from everyday life.

For optimal trip planning, Koh Chang is best visited between November and April, during Thailand's dry season. This period offers ideal conditions for enjoying the beaches and the island's surroundings. Guests are advised to book directly through the official website, theretreatkohchang.com, especially during peak season, as availability at smaller, more reputable accommodations can be limited. The resort is located in Tambon, Koh Chang. Travelers arriving by ferry should therefore arrange their onward travel in advance, as the address is inland.

    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.
