Chalok Baan Kao is a quieter village on Koh Tao’s south coast, with a sandy bay, dive centres, restaurants and convenience shops. New Heaven Dive School and Resort sits beside the shore: Chalok Baan Kao Beach is 50 m away, and Ao Chalok Ban Kao is 300 m away. Shark Bay Beach lies 450 m away, while Sun Suwan Viewpoint is 500 m away above the southern coastline. Compared with Sairee’s main beach strip, this is a more settled part of the island, with the bay and nearby beaches shaping the daily scene.
Koh Tao has no airport: ferries arrive at Mae Haad, and Lomprayah Koh Tao Pier is 2 km from the resort. Crossings from Koh Samui take around 1.5–2 hours, while boats from Koh Phangan take 45–90 minutes. Pick-up truck taxis go from the pier to Chalok Baan Kao; scooters are another option, though roads to the island’s eastern coves are steep. The resort is about 2.0 km from Koh Tao’s centre and has no parking, so arrange onward transport rather than planning to leave a vehicle on site.
For beach and viewpoint outings, Freedom Beach is 500 m away, John-Suwan Mountain Viewpoint (view on ao Chalok and ao thian beach) is 750 m away, Sai Daeng Beach is 1.3 km away and Aow Leuk Beach is 1.4 km away. The south and west coasts are generally calmer from November to March. Whale sharks are most often seen around Koh Tao from March to May and September to October, while diving and snorkelling take place around the island’s reefs.
Guests praise the quiet bay, immediate access to sand and sea, and views from rooms and shared spaces. Some find the pool small and occasionally unclean, while a smaller number mention the steep stair climb to hillside rooms.
