I'm suprised that the Haad Tien is only number 8 for accommodation on Koh Tao as looking at what else was on offer it was definitely miles ahead of the rest! The beach is beautiful - clean, white sands, crystal clear water. It is quiet too - the resort is the only one on shark bay. We stayed at another... More

It's hard to find the balance between laid back atmosphere and great service, but the Haad Tien does it! Its charming, elegant, extremely peaceful and relaxing. Its located on a great beach just 15 minutes by taxi away from the main village and 10 from the port. The hotel have many options for day trips (around the island scuba or... More

We decided to splurge a bit for a few days on our round the world travels, this place did not disappoint. We were collected from ferry port and taken to hotel, had a hideaway villa, room 102, it was perfect! A slight walk to reception area but definitely the better end of the resort for me, building work is happening... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
The Haadtien Beach Resort is a unique boutique resort nestled amongst the palm groves in the southern tip of Koh Tao with its own approximately 350 meter secluded beach. The development has taken place organically with variety of private villas and rooms, both beachfronts and seaviews, set amongst 45 acres of land that encompass the resort. The villas have been designed to provide guests with clean, comfortable and spacious accommodation without sacrificing the natural environment which makes the resort so unique.The resort is totally private as it is situated in its own natural bay, with granite cliffs on both sides and jungle behind, yet the resort is only a kilometre from the nearest village with local shops and restaurants. The beach itself opens out onto a crystal blue shallow lagoon which is perfect for swimming and snorkelling, and at night all that can be heard is the lapping of the waves and the whistling of the breeze. ... more   less
