Koh Tao Studios 47

Koh Tao Studios 47 is an apartment in Tanote Bay & Ao Leuk, Koh Tao, with sea views from its terraces. Set on a hillside near the island’s east-coast coves, it offers three spacious apartment layouts, each with a private bathroom, kitchen, balcony and private pool.

The accommodation ranges from a 60 m² duplex to apartments of 120 m² and 130 m², with space for up to four people. Two-bedroom layouts include either sofa beds or king-size beds, while kitchens have essentials such as a refrigerator, stovetop and microwave. Air conditioning and flat-screen TVs are also available. Several apartments have terraces with sea views, and the largest layout has a rooftop with sunrise and sunset views.

A garden, outdoor furniture and barbecue facilities complement the private pools. You can arrange a paid shuttle, use free private parking, or request to bring a pet at no extra charge. Guests often praise the island outlook, tidy interiors and peaceful hilltop setting; the steep roads mean getting around by scooter or taxi can be more practical than walking.

The three apartment options differ in size and layout, with floor areas of 60, 120 and 130 m² and capacity for up to four people. All have a kitchen, private bathroom, air conditioning, a private pool and views that include the sea and garden. Balconies or terraces give you outdoor space, while kitchens include a refrigerator, stovetop and microwave.

The 120 m² Deluxe Apartment has two bedrooms and a living area with a sofa bed, as well as a rooftop described with sunrise and sunset views. The 130 m² Apartment with Sea View also has two bedrooms and a living room, with a terrace and walk-in shower. At 60 m², the Duplex Apartment is the smallest option; it has two bedrooms with king-size beds and a sea-view terrace. The bed arrangements vary by apartment, so compare the individual layouts when choosing.

The outdoor facilities include a private pool, a garden, a terrace and a balcony, with outdoor furniture and a dining area for time outside. Barbecue facilities and sun loungers or beach chairs are also available. The setting works well for guests who want to swim or explore Koh Tao’s coastal activities, with snorkelling, diving and fishing among the activities offered. Massage services include full body massage.

Each apartment has a kitchen and air conditioning, and the property provides room service and a tea and coffee maker. Free private parking is available on site, and WiFi is free in public areas. A shuttle service, private check-in and check-out, concierge service and a safety deposit box are also provided. Pets are allowed on request without an extra charge. The apartments are non-smoking, and the grounds include a garden view as well as views towards the sea.

Koh Tao Studios 47 sits on a hillside between Tanote Bay and Ao Leuk, on Koh Tao’s quieter east coast. The slopes here descend towards small coves and beaches, with coral close to shore at several of the island’s eastern bays. Ao Leuk is 400 m away, and the elevated setting brings sea and island views. The roads down to Tanote Bay and Ao Leuk are steep, so the short distances on a map do not necessarily mean an easy walk.

Ferries arrive at Mae Haad on the west coast; Lomprayah Koh Tao Pier is 2 km from the apartment. From the pier, you can take an island taxi or arrange the property’s paid shuttle for the last stretch. Scooters are another common way to get around, but the concrete roads to the east-coast coves have steep sections. Free private parking is available on site, with no reservation possible. Tell the property your expected arrival time in advance; check-in runs from 15:00 to 20:00.

Ao Leuk is close by for swimming and snorkelling, while Cindy’s Tower, 700 m away, is a viewpoint over the island. Ao Hin Ngam is 900 m away, Ao Sai Daeng is 1.1 km away, and Ao Tanote Beach is 1.3 km away. Koh Tao also draws divers to its offshore sites, while the coves provide shore-based snorkelling. From April to October, the east coast is generally the calmer side of the island; from November to March, the west and south coasts tend to have calmer conditions.
