Sairee’s beach, restaurants and dive schools are within walking distance. Guests often praise the short walk to the shore and quieter evenings, as well as the staff’s help with scooter rentals and taxi bookings. Some report very firm mattresses and occasional drain odours or wet-room splashing.

Lucky house Koh Tao is in Sairee Beach, the west-coast village built around Koh Tao’s main 1.8 km strip of sand. The shoreline is 550 m away, with dive schools, restaurants and beach bars along the seafront. Idjangs Kitchen is 150 m from the hostel and Mint Kitchen is 100 m away. Sairee faces west, with sunset views towards Koh Nang Yuan; guest feedback also describes quieter nights despite the nearby dining and evening venues.

Koh Tao has no airport, so visitors arrive by ferry at Mae Haad. Lomprayah Koh Tao Pier is 1.9 km from the hostel; pick-up truck taxis and scooters are used for local journeys, while a flat brick path connects Mae Haad and Sairee in about 15 minutes on foot. Ferries link Koh Tao with Koh Samui, Koh Phangan and Chumphon, though rough seas can disrupt crossings, especially from November to January. Free private parking is available at the hostel.

For views above the coast, Top of the rock is 900 m away and View point on Sairee beach and Koh Nang Yuan is 1.2 km away. Ao Hin Wong, a quieter eastern cove with coral close to shore, is 1.5 km away; Nangyuan Island, reached by long-tail boat, is 3.3 km away. Diving schools around Sairee organise access to Koh Tao’s dive sites, while snorkelling is popular around the island’s bays. The west coast is generally the calmer side from November to March; from April to October, eastern bays are more sheltered.
