The rugged collection of wood and aluminium bungalows winds its way across three straw-hat-like conical islands connected by an idyllic beige sandbar. Yes, this is a private-island paradise but note it gets busy with day-trippers. The resort also boasts the best and only restaurant on the island. Prices include round-trip to Ko Tao.
