location
off the beaten track
Deishaview is located in the south side of the Island, in the hills between Mae Haad (the Pier) and Chalok Bay. Our unique location offers “off the beaten track” feels whilst still being close by to civilization and some of Koh Tao’s main attractions.
We enjoy epic views, the peace and quiet of having no neighbours or nearby roads, and can still reach many beautiful beaches, restaurants, dive schools & shops within a 5 minute drive.
The pier
The Pier (Mae Haad) where you will arrive on Koh Tao is 1.8km away from Deishaview (5 min drive / 30 min walk). Please contact us if you require collection from the Pier!
beaches
Deishaview is located close by to some of the Islands most beautiful and quiet beaches:
<2 km: Sai Nuan, June Juea, Chalok
<3 km: Freedom beach, Shark Bay, Sai Deng, Aow Leuk
Restaurants
There are some very nice restaurants within 10-15 minute walking distance of Deishaview (Babaloo, Tukta, Lorenzo Pizza…), and endless options within a 5 minute drive
Nightlife
The main “party scene” and strip of Nightclubs is located on Sairee Beach, on the North side of the Island around 10 minutes drive from Deishaview. Deishaview is located close (<5 minute drive/20 minute walk) to many awesome Bars e.g. Natural High bar, Bubble bar, Rasta Bar, WTF Bar
Dive schools
There are a number of excellent Dive schools located in the Chalok area, less than a 5 minute drive / 20 minute walk from Deishaview
accessibility
We do recommend motorbike/moped hire for all guests, unless you are comfortable walking 20-30 minutes to reach local beaches and shops. Deishaview is accessed via a long staircase and at this time does not offer wheelchair access 🙁 sorry
