Our Resort sits on the sheltered Gulf of Thailand coast, so the sea here stays gentler than the Andaman side for much of the year.
Yes, our Resort occupies a sheltered bay on the northwestern tip of the island where the Gulf of Thailand waters are typically calm and shallow close to shore, making it suitable for families and younger swimmers. Conditions are gentlest through the dry months from December to April and can turn choppier during the November rains. We recommend checking checking the forecast for the time of year you plan to visit.
