Jamahkiri Resort & Spa

Top choice in Ko Tao


Wooden gargoyle masks and stone fertility goddesses abound amid swirling mosaics and multi-armed statues at this whitewashed estate. Hoots from distant monkeys confirm the jungle theme, as do the thatched roofs and tiki-torched soirees. There are lots of steps, but views are drop-dead gorgeous, the spa is top of the range and the dive centre is excellent.
