South and East Coast Resorts, Bungalows – Koh Mak Resorts

South and east coast resorts on Koh Mak include three boutique resorts, some mid-range bungalow resorts, a couple of backpacker or traveller options and even some glamping tents.

Despite this part of the island not having the same quality of beach as found at Ao Kao and Ao Suan Yai, the resorts and bungalows are still deservedly popular, with their wonderful seclusion, peace and quiet and ‘away from it all’ feel. This does perhaps mean they are better suited to couples and young families rather than to families with elder children.

Around most of the resorts, there is very little else going on, with no restaurants or shops, so you will be most likely dine in-house or hire a motorbike to give yourself a lot more flexibility. The resorts too have transport on hand as needed.


Prices given are for the peak Xmas period via booking sites, not the hotel websites. They are intended as guides only.

You can jump straight to to each section:-


East Coast Resorts and Bungalows

For two of Koh Mak’s best boutique resorts, look no further than Koh Mak Plubpla Resort and Villa Allure, both way over on the east coast at Ao Pai and Ao Khanoun respectively, perfectly isolated on small private coarse sand beaches.

Koh Mak Plubpla Resort offers seaview villas from 4,500bt going up to 6,200bt for its deluxe beachfront villa. It does have a swimming pool. Villa Allure starts at 3,500bt for its standard villa, up to 7,500bt for its largest family bungalow (with 2 bedrooms).

Baan Lang Hillside

On the same coast, but nearer to Ao Nid, Bamboo Hideaway is indeed that, with its bungalows constructed entirely from bamboo, raised up and joined by walkways and a small swimming pool that looks out over the horizon. Fan rooms start from 1,500bt in high season.

Next door, Sea View Resort has 10 or so a/c bungalows from 1,400bt upwards. It also added a swimming pool in 2023. On the hill beneath Buri Huts attracts mainly Thai packages, prices from 1,200bt for a garden view room.

Corsita offers two large bungalows at prices in line with their neighbours and has a pool and BBQ area. You can also rent a long stay house at 90,000bt over 3 months (or buy it outright). Next door, Swiss Oasis at Baan Irenda offers accommodation for its in-house healing programmes which include Reiki, yoga and QiGong – see their website for more details.

Further back towards Ao Nid pier, Sea Breeze is a conventional resort run by a local family. Its large rooms – standard from 2,300bt, deluxe seaview at 3,500bt. The pool and the terrific ocean views make it definitely worth a look, popular with Thais.

Next door to Sea Breeze, Baan Zourite gives you a villa option. It has a pool, 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, sofa bed, kitchen and sitting area. Prices are from around 4,700bt a night.

South Coast Resorts and Bungalows

On Koh Mak’s south coast, there are a couple of cheaper alternatives to those in the east that might suit backpackers and travellers.

Tucked away on its own small beach near the pier in Ao Nid, the Polish/Thai run Ao Pong Resort has a combination of older traditional style bungalows and newer concrete ones . Nearby, Coffee and Sweetcake has both B & B rooms on the way to Ao Pong  and an appartment in the big house next door to its cafe, prices from 1,300bt.

Pano Resort is wonderfully out of the way in the far south corner, unique stilted rooms from 750bt, whilst the charming Talay Time at the very southern tip overlooking Koh Kood, has various bungalows from 1,200bt to 2,500bt. Look out too for its hillside restaurant with the amazing views, well worth a stop.

Banana Sunset on the same coast offers old beach huts in a separate cove to its restaurant and popular bar, as well as its seaview bungalows nearer to the action, prices from 1,200bt upwards.

Accessed off the road to Banana Sunset in the area known as Ao Daeng, Naivacha has pivoted a little over the last couple of years from its original glamping experience to more straightforward bungalows. Theere are a still a few safari style tents, raised up on decks with rooves, complete with bathrooms and a/c. Prices start at 2,000bt for a twin and up to 2,500bt for the triple.
