Mangrove Hideaway

Top choice in Ko Chang


Facing the mangrove forest, this environmentally friendly guesthouse is a fabulous spot. Crisp, attractive rooms face the verdant front garden, while the sumptuous superior suites have gorgeous wooden floors and overlook the dining area and mangroved river estuary. There's an open-air Jacuzzi and massage area upstairs; the resort was made using locally sourced wood and employs residents of nearby villages.
