Its uniquely diverse geography makes it a natural haven, yet the area receives far less visitors than its northern neighbour Krabi. There are only a select few hotels in Si Kao, preserving the region’s secluded vibe.The Hat Chao Mai Marine National Park spans 20km of coastline in Si Kao, containing a 5km beach with pure sands set against a backdrop of shady limestone hills and hidden caves. The park acts as home for the endangered dugong, or sea cow, the rare black-necked stork and a whole host of other creatures. With a range of spectacular beaches and vast fauna, it’s surprising that the area does not attract more visitors.

A stay at one of Si Kao’s luxurious hotels grants you access to one of the Andaman coast’s best kept secrets. The resorts are situated within the region’s lush pine forests, allowing guests to experience true solace in an idyllic destination. Si Kao is ideal for honeymooners, families, and visitors who are happy to largely stay within the grounds of their hotel.
