Cocohut Beach Resort & Spa

Cocuhut Village Beach Resort & Spa is a typical beachfront resort, with a large pool area right on the beach surrounded with palm trees and many open air relaxation areas. The lobby is small with wooden floors and a wooden world map on the wall behind a colorful wood-slated reception desk. A few seating areas provide space to relax.The restaurant is a large, modern area with floor-to-ceiling windows bringing in natural light, wooden floors, wooden table and chairs, several potted plants, fairy lights, and framed inspirational quotes. For a more Thai experience, there's a section where guests can sit on cushions on the floor while dining. There are also a few chilled out areas with artificial grass and bird nest chairs; plus a billiards table. Cocohut Spa is housed in a clay hut and decorated with traditional decor and trinkets, with various sized treatment rooms available -- including beachfront massage rooms. Its location is prime for guests coming to Ko Pha Ngan for the monthly Full Moon parties, though still wanting a haven to get away from the chaotic madness around the beach. Overall, the atmosphere is relaxed -- though it can get quite busy during Full Moon party time.

Cocohut Village Beach Resort & Spa is located on a semi-private section of Leela Beach, about a 10-minute walk from Haad Rin village. For those on the island for the famous Full Moon party, the Sunrise Beach (where the party happens) is also about a 10-minute walk away -- close enough for easy access, while far away enough for some peace and quiet away from the body-painted crowds. The much quieter Sunset Beach (Haad Rin Nai) is an eight-minute walk away. Farther up the coast, Than Sadet Waterfall National Park and the Pantip Food Market are a 30-minute drive away. Ferries to Koh Samui Airport are available from the Haad Rin Pier, a 10-minute walk from the resort. The hotel offers a free pick up service on arrival at Haad Rin Pier.

The 79 guest rooms at Cocohut Village Beach Resort & Spa are scattered between the resort gardens along the beachfront, and all enjoy beautiful sea or pool views. Eleven room varieties are available, from standard rooms to villas and bungalows -- all with private furnished balconies. Each room features individual interiors, though all are done with fresh and modern decor that includes dark wooden floors, pastel colored walls, light gray curtains, wooden detail on the walls, and a mix of contemporary and Thai artwork. The animal-shaped towels and freshly cut flowers on the bed give guests a traditional Thai welcome. Amenities in all rooms include air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, minibars, electric kettles, telephones, desks, safes, and free Wi-Fi. Selected villas include an in-room hot tub as well as private plunge pools.
