Cape Shark Villas at Koh Tao, Surat Thani
Ko Tao, or Turtle Island, in Surat Thani is famous among locals as a diving destination. It’s home to coral reefs and different sea creatures, especially turtles – thus the island’s name.
Aside from its beautiful fauna, there is a luxury resort called Cape Shark Villas that has a special offer, allowing guests to stay in a cabin located atop a rocky cliff and enjoy the sea right at their doorstep.

This hidden gem is the one and the only offered at the resort. It features a stone house with a private terrace overlooking the sea.

How to get to Ko Tao
The only way to get to the island is by boat to the main pier Mea Had. It’s recommended to take a boat trip (from ฿200) from Koh Samui which is the fastest way, taking only an hour to reach here.
Cape Shark Villas is situated near Sairee Beach which takes about 15-minute driving from the main pier. Other than enjoying the rock cabin, don’t hesitate to join a scuba diving trip at one of the most popular spots called Ko Nangyuan located near to the resort.
The room is fully booked for now, so hurry up and grab a slot for a future trip and have a wonderful experience here.
