Samatha Bed & Breakfast

Samatha Bed & Breakfast is a bed and breakfast in Sairee Beach, Koh Tao, with a restaurant on site.

Accommodation includes Deluxe King Suites for up to two people, with private bathrooms. One suite has a balcony, a view and air conditioning, while family rooms are also available. Guests can spend time in the garden or on the terrace, with outdoor seating, a picnic area and barbecue facilities. The restaurant, bar, snack bar and on-site coffee house provide dining options, including children’s meals and special-diet menus on request. The property also offers cooking classes, local-culture activities, evening entertainment and snorkelling. A tour desk and shuttle service are available, alongside room service and daily housekeeping. WiFi is free in public areas, and free public parking is available at a nearby location. Sairee Beach is 150 m away, with restaurants and dive schools along Koh Tao’s main west-coast strip.

The accommodation comprises two Deluxe King Suites, each for up to two people with one extra-large double bed and a private bathroom. One suite measures 25 m² and has a balcony, a view and air conditioning; the second shares its name and bed configuration and also includes towels. Both suites have towels, and each accommodates two.

The two-person capacity and single-bed layout make these suites suited to couples sharing a bed. The 25 m² option has outdoor space and a view, with air conditioning as well. The other suite has a private bathroom and the same extra-large double bed. Both are suite-style rooms for two, while the balcony, view and air conditioning distinguish the 25 m² option.

Outdoor spaces at Samatha Bed & Breakfast include a garden, terrace, picnic area and outdoor furniture, with barbecue facilities for meals outside. On-site dining choices include a restaurant, bar, snack bar and coffee house. Children’s meals and special-diet menus are available, with the latter on request. Family rooms, non-smoking rooms and air conditioning are available, and room service is offered.

Practical services include a tour desk, shuttle service, luggage storage and daily housekeeping. Cooking classes, local-culture activities, themed dinner nights, evening entertainment and snorkelling are among the activities on offer. Families can use the indoor play area. WiFi is free in public areas, while free public parking is available at a nearby location.

Samatha Bed & Breakfast is in Sairee Beach, on Koh Tao’s west coast, where the island’s main village runs alongside a long, sandy shore. Sairee Beach is 150 m away. The beach stretches for about 1.8 km, with dive schools, restaurants and beach bars along the main strip; the western-facing coast also gives sunset views towards Koh Nang Yuan. The village has a lively dining and diving scene, while the property’s garden and terrace provide outdoor space away from the beachfront.

Koh Tao has no airport, so arrival is by ferry at Mae Haad. Crossings take 45–90 minutes from Koh Phangan and about 1.5–2 hours from Koh Samui. Lomprayah Koh Tao Pier is 2 km from Samatha Bed & Breakfast; taxis serve Sairee from the pier, and Mae Haad and Sairee are joined by a flat shore path that takes around 15 minutes on foot. Free public parking is possible at a nearby location, with no reservation needed. Some eastern roads are steep as they descend to secluded bays.

Dive schools run trips to Koh Tao’s well-known dive sites, and snorkelling is another island activity. Coconut Viewpoint is 1.3 km away, Mae Haad Beach is 1.5 km away and Ao Hin Wong is 1.8 km away; Koh Nang Yuan Beach is 2.3 km away. Koh Nang Yuan can also be visited by long-tail boat from Sairee or Mae Haad. February to April is generally driest and calmest, while November and December bring rougher seas and ferry disruption. Whale sharks are seen most often in March–May and September–October.
