Warapura Resort

Ko Chang


Right by the sea, Warapura has a series of excellent boutique bungalows lightly decorated with rustic furniture and a white-and-turquoise colour scheme. Higher-priced rooms are larger and closer to the sea. There's a sociable bar-restaurant with an exclusive feel. The beach isn't really swimmable here, but the decent pool makes up for it.
