Big Tree Boutique Hotel

Big Tree Boutique Hotel is a hotel in Mae Haad, Koh Tao, with air-conditioned rooms opening onto balconies and garden views. The property combines hotel rooms with self-contained holiday homes, including a four-person option with two bedrooms, a living room and a kitchen.

Room choices include a 26 m² double or twin room, a 35 m² studio and 40 m² and 48 m² holiday homes. All have private bathrooms; the rooms and studio have balconies, while the holiday homes add kitchens and terraces. Air conditioning and a tea and coffee maker feature across the room range.

The on-site restaurant serves brunch and lunch, with Asian, international and European cuisines and vegetarian and dairy-free options. A garden, patio and tour desk complement free WiFi and free private parking. Mae Haad Beach is 800 m away, and Lomprayah Koh Tao Pier is 750 m from the hotel. Guests praise the staff’s island transport advice and tidy rooms, while some mention music and traffic noise.

The room range covers a 26 m² double or twin room and a 35 m² studio, each set up for two people. Both have a private bathroom, air conditioning, a balcony and garden views. The double or twin room offers a choice of one extra-large double bed or two single beds, while the studio has one extra-large double bed and a flat-screen TV.

Two Holiday Homes provide more independent layouts. The 40 m² home sleeps two and has one bedroom, a living room, a kitchen and a terrace overlooking the garden; the 48 m² version sleeps four, with two separate bedrooms and a living room. Both include kitchens with a refrigerator, microwave, kitchenware and toaster, alongside a private bathroom and terrace. These larger layouts add cooking facilities and separate living space to the room and studio options.

The outdoor setting includes a garden, patio and balconies, with garden views available from the rooms.

Snorkelling is available, while family rooms and non-smoking rooms give the accommodation range options for different party sizes.

Big Tree Boutique Hotel is on the main road in Mae Haad, the west-coast pier village and service centre of Koh Tao. Streets here connect the ferry port with shops, casual dining and the beach. Welcome to Koh Tao Turtle Monument is 500 m away, Mae Haad Beach is 800 m away, and Lomprayah Koh Tao Pier is 750 m away. The Hacienda Bar & Grill is 100 m from the hotel for a nearby meal.

Koh Tao has no airport; visitors reach the island by ferry, with services from Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Chumphon and Surat Thani arriving at Mae Haad. From the pier, the hotel’s main-road setting means you can cover the final stretch on foot or by local pick-up taxi. Free private parking is available on site, with no reservation needed. Mae Haad and Sairee are joined by a flat brick path along the shore, a 15-minute walk; island taxis are pick-up trucks and charge per vehicle.

For a swim, Jansom bay is 1.1 km away, Sai Nuan Beach is 1.3 km away and Sairee Beach is 1.4 km away; Cindy's Tower viewpoint is 1.2 km from the hotel. Diving is Koh Tao’s main activity, with sites around the island including Chumphon Pinnacle and Japanese Gardens. The west coast, including Mae Haad, is generally the calmer side from November to March, while rough seas can disrupt ferry crossings, particularly from November to January.
