Koh Mak offers a variety of hotels, resorts & vacation homes. Choose between traditional Thai-style huts, long-stay accommodation, or beachfront villas. Have in mind that conglomerates such as Booking, Airbnb, Expedia, or Agoda take up to 20% commission from the local, family-run businesses. You can support the locals and save cash by making direct bookings and benefit from free pick-up services and other personalized treats. Book directly for deals and services (White Sands offers free breakfast -direct booking only).
Stay at least 5 days on Koh Mak and value your travel consciousness & Koh Mak's sustainability. Ask for Stay & Train Packages for better deals (Muay Thai, Yoga, and Tennis). We offer long-stay discounts and better rates for solo-travelers.
Nearly every place listed here is run by families who have lived on Koh Mak for generations — that local ownership is why the island still feels unhurried. Read how local families shaped the island.
Koh Mak Village Collection
Exclusive advantages included with every stay
Stay in one of the Koh Mak Village Collection homes and enjoy island facilities, local support, and special activity rates as part of your booking.
Beachfront villas, vacation homes, apartments, penthouses, romantic pools, and small design-led sports retreats — the island's most considered stays. All are independently family-run. Sorry, you can not really find a luxury professional hotel-chain-managed* here. Expect good vibes and personal caretaking instead of hotelier businesses. Most resorts are owned by local families for generations and grew very slowly into this field.

Tips for choosing
Where on the island?
Koh Mak is small, but the side you sleep on shapes the entire trip — distance to dinner, sunset views, and how much you'll need a scooter.
AO KAO (White Bay)
The island's longest and most beautiful beach stretches along the southwest coast. Soft white sand and a gently shelving entry into calm turquoise water, lined with bungalow resorts, such as Lazy Day and White Sand Beach Resort, are blissfully quiet. The back road behind the beach is where some of the island's restaurants and shops are located. Home of White Sand Beach Resort & Lazy Day Resort. Good choice for beach vibes, sunsets, and sport activities.
AO KAO (WHITE BAY), WHITE SAND BEACH KOH MAK
Ao Suan Ya
The island's first developed beach resort has beautiful sunsets. Some speedboats dock here. Ideal for couples and families. The most recommended resorts are at this beach, the Koh Mak Resort, and the Seavana Resort. From here, you have a view of Koh Kham and see Koh Chang in the background. Panan's speedboat departs here during high season.
South / east coast
Maximum seclusion. You'll need a scooter or rely on resort transport — plan to dine in-house, or ride out.
Before you book
Always double-check the beach location against the pier — not every resort is within walking distance of the restaurants.
