Overview
High Bar takes its name from the hillside it occupies, looking down over Chalok Baan Kao Bay on Koh Tao's south coast. The draw is the outlook: the property promotes sea views and a terrace and bar where guests gather for the sunset.
Around the buildings is a tropical garden, and private parking is free. The listing says little about the rooms themselves, so think of this as a place you'd pick for the setting and the bar, and check the room details before booking.
Highlights
- Hillside position overlooking Chalok Baan Kao Bay
- On-site bar and terrace with sunset views
- Tropical garden
- Free private parking
- About a three-minute walk down to the beach
Location
According to the property, the beach at Chalok Baan Kao is roughly three minutes away on foot. The bay is sheltered and shallow, with a small village, a few restaurants and several dive schools.
The John-Suwan viewpoint on the headland to the east is a popular short hike, and the snorkelling bays of the south-east are close by. Mae Haad pier is a short drive north.
Good to know
- As with most hillside places on Koh Tao, the walk back up from the beach is the harder half.
- Air-conditioning and Wi-Fi aren't confirmed in the property's own description, so check the room listing.
