Set on the west coast of Koh Chang, Gajapuri Resort occupies a beachfront plot along Kai Bae Beach, in close proximity to Mu Ko Chang National Park. The property distributes its rooms and villas along a wooden pathway that winds through lush vegetation down to the sea.

Why choose Gajapuri Resort

• 4-star beachfront address directly on Kai Bae Beach, on the island's west side.
• Varied accommodation options, from Deluxe Seaview rooms to private pool villas, including a tent with open-air shower.
• Direct access to Mu Ko Chang National Park and the Ban Salak Phet fishing village.
• Organized airport pickup service from Trat Airport or Ngop Port.

Atmosphere

The essence of Gajapuri lies in its relationship with the natural setting: buildings are nestled beneath trees rather than arranged in rows, wood dominates the materials, and movement throughout the property happens on foot via wooden walkways. Two pools, a pool-bar and the restaurant serve as gathering points, but the overall rhythm remains unhurried, removed from the island's busier zones. The west-facing coast offers stunning sunsets over the water, visible from the beach and several accommodations.

Rooms and villas

The resort offers multiple accommodation types to suit various travel configurations, from couples to extended families.

• Private Pool Villa Suite (195 m²): two bedrooms and private pool, designed for a family or small group.
• Private Pool Villa (135 m²): private pool and jacuzzi, furnished terrace.
• Deluxe Seaview Room (56 m²): private terrace with sea views.
• Tent (60 m²): unique accommodation with open-air shower.
• Superior Wooden Chalet (52 m²): panoramic veranda overlooking forest and ocean.
• Connecting family rooms: two adjoining bedrooms, practical for parents and children.
