Seavana Resort

Seavana Resort Koh Mak

Seavana Resort, on Koh Mak’s Ao Suan yai beach, is the island’s newest luxury resort.

If you need a place to stay then for a bit of 4 star luxury, I recommend Seavana Resort, which is the upmarket annex of the longstanding Koh Mak Resort. They may share the same beach, but that’s where the similarities end. Seavana offers just 22 spacious, brand new rooms and a friendly, efficient and informal atmosphere. This makes it ideal for couples who want to get away from it all.

The bungalows are all far larger than most, in fact just the bathroom is larger than most hotel bathrooms. You definitely won’t feel cramped, the beachfront villas have two floors – the upper floor being an open air terrace and covered seating area. This is along with the bedroom, bathroom and shady sun loungers downstairs.

The resort’s restaurant serves up Thai and western food and the pool bar lays on some excellent Happy hour cocktails. Staff are very personable without ever being intrusive. You probably won’t notice them but they are around when you need them. Free bicycles and kayaks are available for guests to use and the usual trips, tours and boat tickets can all be booked on site. There’s also a massage and spa if you need extra relaxation.

Overall, the ideal combination of location, friendly service and great value accommodation – which is reflected in the overwhelmingly positive reviews guests give the resort. Highly Recommended resort on Koh Maak.
