Cocohut Beach Resort Koh Phangan

Cocohut Beach Resort Koh Phangan sits on Leela Beach, about a five-minute walk from the restaurants, bars and boat pier at Haad Rin - close enough for easy access, far enough to skip the loudest part of the Full Moon Party strip.

The resort splits across beachfront and hillside zones, so it’s worth checking which one your room falls into: the walk and the view change a fair bit between them. Inventory runs from Superior and Hillside bungalows through sea-view rooms and suites up to a Luxury Beachfront Pool Villa, all built around a private beach area, an outdoor pool and room service.

Breakfast covers Asian, American and vegetarian options, and snorkelling gear is on hand for the private beach out front - though trips further around Koh Phangan mean a scooter, taxi or boat. Free parking suits anyone arriving with their own transport, and check-in runs from 14:00 to 23:30, useful if your ferry lands in the evening.

Insider Tip: The resort runs a shuttle to Haad Rin Pier for boat arrivals - worth arranging ahead rather than turning up and hunting for a ride with your bags.

Booking.com rates the resort 8.9/10 from 1,419 reviews. Rates swing hard around Full Moon Party dates and New Year, so compare the live price, deposit and cancellation terms for your actual dates rather than any figure quoted elsewhere.

Good for travellers who want Haad Rin’s energy within reach but not right outside the window. See the Koh Phangan destination guide for the rest of the island.
