On the northwest coast of Koh Mak, Seavana Beach Resort occupies Ao Suan Yai bay, overlooking a private white sand beach accessible on foot in three minutes. This 3-star resort lines its bungalows along the seafront on a 16 km² island committed to responsible tourism practices.

Why choose Seavana Beach Resort

The property embraces the concept of a human-scaled beach resort, without ostentatious luxury positioning. Four bungalow types, all sea-facing, a restaurant focusing on seafood cuisine, and a water sports activity program included in your stay: this formula appeals to travelers seeking a comfortable base to explore the Koh Chang archipelago. The 3-star rating reflects the genuine quality of the offering, leaning toward beach comfort rather than international five-star standards.

Staff speak English and Thai only: a detail to consider for English-speaking travelers unfamiliar with these languages.

Atmosphere and setting

Ao Suan Yai bay curves along a long, shallow stretch, sheltered from strong swells by the geography of the Gulf of Thailand. Bungalows are scattered through a tropical garden descending toward the beach, with no tall structures. The atmosphere evokes a Thai beach village rather than a gated resort: Koh Mak pioneered low-impact tourism early on, with plastic recycling, organized waste collection, and a limited number of drinking establishments. Tourist density remains modest compared to Koh Chang or Koh Samui.

The bungalows

Four categories are available, all with sea views, king-size beds, mosquito netting, rainfall showers, and large bay windows:

• Superior Seaview Room (70 m²): the entry-level category, with sea-view terrace.
• Seavana Deluxe Beachfront (80 m²): positioned directly on the beach.
• Jacuzzi Balcony Seaview (85 m²): terrace with jacuzzi and panoramic views over Suan Yai bay.
• Seavana Suite Beachfront (115 m²): the most spacious, featuring a rainfall bathroom and spa bathtub set in a private garden.

Buffet breakfast is typically included depending on season and rate: Thai, Asian, French, and American specialties.

Dining and activities

Daybeds restaurant focuses its menu on seafood, with service on the terrace overlooking the bay.

Activity options include:

• Windsurfing lessons, sea kayaking, paddleboarding, and fishing.
• Snorkeling sessions around Koh Kham and Koh Phee, neighboring islets with clear waters.
• Boat excursions to Koh Rang marine park.
• Cycling tours on island trails, Thai cooking classes.

On-site, guests have access to an ATM, small supermarket, gift shop, library, DVD lending service, and an excursions desk to organize outings.

Access and location

To reach Seavana Beach Resort from Bangkok, allow approximately 30 minutes by flight to Trat, then travel to Laem Ngop port. From there, a ferry reaches Koh Mak in about 45 minutes (public boat, private ferry, or catamaran depending on schedules). The resort can arrange airport transfers, and free parking accommodates guests with vehicles.

When to visit and what to explore nearby

The dry season (November to April) provides the most stable conditions for swimming and boat outings. May through October brings monsoon conditions to the gulf, with ferry service sometimes reduced in September-October.

To prepare your stay on the island, consult our Koh Mak guide. If combining with other beach destinations, this property fits well into an itinerary including Hua Hin, where we feature the Amari Hua Hin, Baan Bayan Hotel, and Baan Talay Boutique.
