About this place
A private-beach dive resort built around three pools
Koh Tao Regal Resort sits right on its own beach at Mae Haad, the island's main arrival point and a short walk from the pier. The rooms are air-conditioned and easy-going, each with its own private balcony, and the whole place is built around three outdoor pools — including a proper training pool more than three metres deep for the dive school. The island viewpoint is about ten minutes on foot, and Sai Lee Walking Street fifteen, when you fancy wandering for food and a drink.
It's run by Pok, who grew up on Koh Tao and put a full PADI centre on site, so you can take your first breaths underwater or log a few fun dives without leaving the resort. Days drift between the pools and the sea; the beachfront Regal Restaurant runs Thai and Western dishes through the day, and Pok and his team will point you to the best dive sites, the cheapest noodles and the quietest cove on the island.
