Nangyuan Island Dive Resort - Koh Tao

Private island dive resort offering world-class scuba diving and eco-friendly stays

Diving & Island Activities

Nangyuan Island Dive Resort is the only resort on its private island, granting guests exclusive access to dive sites like Japanese Gardens and Twins Bay. Certified PADI courses are available on-site, and free snorkel gear can be borrowed from reception for exploring healthy coral and plentiful fish. After 3 PM, when day-visitor boats leave, blacktip sharks appear in the bay, and night dives from the beach become possible without crowds.

Accommodations & Rooms

The resort offers air-conditioned bungalows with private balconies, minibars, and flat-screen TVs, ranging from Standard Double Rooms to two-bedroom suites with sea views. Beach Villas sit directly on the sand with ocean views, while the Grand Deluxe Double Room adds a separate terrace with outdoor seating. Some rooms include private pools, and all accommodations feature daily housekeeping with replenished drinking water in glass bottles.

Dining & Food

Two on-site restaurants serve meals: the Triple Beaches View Restaurant offers American, Thai, Asian, European, and pizza cuisines with a buffet and à la carte breakfast, while the Thai restaurant on the beach provides simple but tasty dishes. Breakfast includes made-to-order warm dishes, juice, pancakes, fruits, and unlimited cappuccinos and lattes. Special diet menus such as vegetarian, vegan, halal, and gluten-free are available, and a coffee house on site sells snacks throughout the day.

Family & Children

Family accommodations include Family Rooms with sea views, two-bedroom suites, and Family Chalets with enough space for five guests. Children can snorkel with baby sharks in the morning, borrow board games from reception, or hike the viewpoint trail with parents. Staff help carry bags on arrival and departure, and a daily free shuttle boat connects to Koh Tao for additional dining or activities.

Sustainability & Eco-Tourism

Nangyuan Island Dive Resort operates with a commitment to ecological preservation, including active coral restoration projects and a ban on drones to protect guest privacy and wildlife. All drinking water is provided in reusable glass bottles, reducing plastic waste on the island. Guests are encouraged to use the free snorkel gear and explore the marine environment responsibly, with staff enforcing eco-friendly practices throughout the property.
