White Sand Resort
Beachfront villas on Ao Kao since 1987. Twenty-five wooden villas with private rooftop terraces, set among coconut palms on one of the Gulf of Thailand's last undeveloped stretches of sand.
A small paradise on Ao Kao
White Sand sits directly on Ao Kao, the main beach on Koh Mak's western coast. No beach clubs, no jet skis, no high-rises — just palms, sand and the kind of slow quiet the island is known for. The Sunday Times named Koh Mak one of the world's top undiscovered islands; this is one of its longest-running addresses.
25 villas, two views
Every villa has a private rooftop terrace, air conditioning, flat-screen TV, minibar, fridge, bottled water and an en-suite bathroom with free toiletries.

Direct sea view from terrace and rooftop — the front row for Ao Kao sunsets.

Quieter inland villas overlooking the shaded pool, set deeper in the palms.
