Thailand

A 3-star vacation club on Ao Suan Yai Bay
Luxury and indulgence await at this Koh Mak resort, located on Ao Suan Yai Bay. Its private white-sand beach, just a 3-minute walk away, is perfect for escaping crowds and enjoying magical moments with family. The air-conditioned rooms feature a king-size bed, a refrigerator, and rain showers to meet comfort needs. However, it’s the beachfront location, the seafood dishes at the Daybeds restaurant, and the beautiful, lush vegetation that make Seavana Beach Resort a top-notch resort for staying in Ko Mak. Although the staff only speak English and Thai, the resort certainly deserves its 3-star rating.
Koh Mak, a dream island near Bangkok
Vacationers on Koh Mak will find a slice of paradise covering 16 km2, with crystal-clear beaches shaded by palm and coconut trees. The resort is situated on the northwest coast of the island. Close to Koh Chang and Koh Kut, Koh Mak is one of the many idyllic islands scattered across the Gulf of Thailand. Fishing, rubber, and coconuts are the primary sources of income for the islanders. The region supports responsible tourism: plastic bags are recycled, waste is collected, exploration tourism is on the rise, and pubs and liquor stores are rare.
Budget bungalows abound near the bay, but for a full tropical paradise experience, it’s better to stay in a star-rated hotel. Refresh in the pool, unwind with a professional massage, relax on a hammock with a seafood skewer in hand and your gaze on the coconut trees swaying in the sea breeze, or take a pleasure boat to nearby Koh Kham or Koh Pee… Guests at Seavana Beach Resort will enjoy an unforgettable seaside vacation!
