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 Suan Yai
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.
