Serenity Koh Chang

Serenity Koh Chang is a waterfront resort at Dan Kao, on the island’s quieter east coast. Its small private bay is scenic, but the shoreline turns rocky or tidal at times. Don’t expect the broad, always-swimmable sand of Koh Chang’s west-coast beaches here.

Rooms run from a two-person garden bungalow up to a 45 sqm sea-view apartment, with a 30 sqm Deluxe Bungalow and a 60 sqm sea-view version with a balcony (sleeping up to six with its sofa bed) in between. For more space, a 100 sqm villa comes with either a plunge pool or a beachfront position, and a 120 sqm three-bedroom villa tops the range. Kitchens are limited to a handful of the larger villas rather than standard across the property, so check the specific room before assuming you can self-cater.

The outdoor pool, restaurant and bar, kayaks and paddleboards cover most of a day here, alongside free Wi-Fi, parking and staff who can help arrange transfers. Family rooms make multi-bedroom stays straightforward, though bed configurations and extra-person charges are worth confirming against your exact rate.

Insider Tip: Treat the pool as your reliable swim option and check the tide before planning bay time. For the west-coast sand beaches, build in a short road trip around the island.

Getting here means a mainland ferry from Ao Thammachat to Ao Sapparot pier, then about five minutes by road. Routes and schedules shift, so check current times before you travel. This suits travellers who want a quieter east-coast base with room to spread out, rather than west-coast nightlife within walking distance.
