Description

Jamahkiri Dive Resort & Spa is a 5-star resort in Shark Bay & Sai Daeng on Koh Tao, 2.3 km from the island’s centre, with rooms overlooking the sea. Its setting beside Thian Og Bay brings you close to coves known for snorkelling and diving, while the resort has a private beach, swimming pool and certified diving centre.

Accommodation ranges from sea-view rooms and pavilions to multi-bedroom suites and villas, including options with private pools and kitchenettes. Rooms feature air conditioning and private bathrooms; many have balconies or terraces, and some include a bath. The larger layouts provide separate bedrooms and living space for families or groups. A buffet breakfast is available, and the restaurant and bar serve meals and drinks on site.

You can book spa treatments including massages, aloe vera body wraps and facials in the gardens. Free pier transfers are available, and free public parking is possible on site. Wi-Fi is free in public areas. The resort’s cliffside position is peaceful, though the surrounding roads are steep, so transfers are useful for reaching the property and exploring the island.

Jamahkiri Dive Resort & Spa is on Koh Tao’s south-east coast at Shark Bay & Sai Daeng, beside Thian Og Bay. This quieter stretch is known for small coves and clear water, with Shark Bay Beach 150 m away and Sai Daeng Beach 400 m away. Ao Thian is 350 m from the resort. Guest feedback describes a cliffside setting and access to the reef by rocky steps, rather than a sandy entry.

Koh Tao has no airport, so visitors arrive by ferry at Mae Haad on the west coast. Lomprayah Koh Tao Pier is 2.4 km from the resort, and free pier transfers are available. Ferry crossings take around 1.5–2 hours from Koh Samui and about 1 hour 45 minutes to two hours from Chumphon. The road approach to this part of the island includes steep sections; free public parking is possible on site. The resort is also 2.3 km from the island’s centre, where Mae Haad and Sairee provide more services and places to eat.

Snorkelling and diving are the main activities around these southern coves. Shark Bay and Sai Daeng are known for shallow-water sightings of turtles and blacktip reef sharks, while Ao Leuk is another nearby beach, 850 m away. Sun Suwan Viewpoint is 700 m from the resort, and Cindy’s Tower is 550 m away. The south coast is generally on the calmer side from November to March; the east-coast bays tend to be calmer between April and October. Whale sharks are most often seen around Koh Tao from March to May and September to October.
