Koh Talu Island Resort - Bang Saphan Noi

Private island eco-resort with PADI dive center and marine conservation projects

Eco-Tourism & Conservation

Koh Talu Island operates a turtle nesting conservation project where guests can see young turtles in open tanks. The resort supports local fisheries through the Blue Swimming Crab Bank at Ban Nong Samed. Guided snorkeling tours take guests to coral reefs with giant clams, crabs, and soft corals.

Water Sports & Diving

The hotel's diving center holds BSAC and PADI certifications, offering open water diver courses and daily excursions. Guests use free kayaks, paddleboards, and Hobie Cat dinghies for sailing. Snorkeling at Koh Ran Pet-Ran Kai islands reveals marine life like colorful reef fish and feather duster worms.

Dining & Relaxation

The Terrace Restaurant serves a Thai buffet with fresh seafood, European dishes, and barbecue options. Drinks are available at the Beach Bar, which also hosts evening cruises for sunset views. Guests book traditional Thai massages at the on-site spa, though availability may be limited.

Rooms & Accommodation

All rooms at Koh Talu Resort come with private balconies and sea views, plus air conditioning and satellite TV. The Thai Style Ocean Villas are located 30 feet from the beach with porches overlooking the water. Big Bay accommodations are newer and closer to the restaurant and activities.

Location & Experiences

Koh Talu is a 20-minute speedboat ride from Bang Saphan pier, inside Ao Siam National Park. Guests take guided jungle treks to a sunrise viewpoint and island geological sea arch called the 'hole.' Cooking classes teach local recipes, and fishing trips allow catch preparation like octopus sashimi.
