Imagine waking up to spectacular ocean views, enjoying breakfast beside your own infinity pool, and watching the sunset from the comfort of your private villa! During our three-night stay from April 16–19, 2026, we called Pool Villa 4 at View Point Resort our little slice of paradise on Koh Tao, Thailand. Between the breathtaking scenery, convenient dining at The Cape, and helpful transportation arrangements, it was the perfect home base for our snorkeling and hiking adventures. We loved having such a beautiful retreat to return to after exploring the island!
💡 Tips: Making the Most of View Point Resort
- 🌅 Consider a Pool Villa: Our private infinity pool and spectacular ocean views were among our favorite features, especially during sunset.
- 🏖️ Allow Time to Relax: We loved the resort but packed so many activities into our stay that we wished we’d dedicated an entire day to enjoying the villa.
- 🍳 Enjoy Breakfast in Your Villa: Breakfast was included with our pool villa and could be preordered for delivery, making mornings especially relaxing.
- 🌾 Communicate Dietary Restrictions: We notified The Cape about Scott’s celiac disease before arriving and had a positive gluten-free dining experience throughout our stay.
- 🛻 Arrange Transportation Through the Resort: View Point Resort provided complimentary pier transfers and helped coordinate taxis, excursions, and restaurant reservations.

🌅 Pool Villa 4: Paradise with a View
The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly Pool Villa 4, featuring a private infinity pool overlooking Koh Tao’s lush coastline and turquoise waters. We loved having our own secluded retreat where we could cool off after hiking, enjoy breakfast overlooking the ocean, and watch spectacular sunsets without leaving our villa. The panoramic scenery was incredible throughout the day, but the warm golden-hour lighting made it especially magical! Our only regret was not having more time to simply relax and enjoy it.

Beyond the spectacular infinity pool and ocean views, Pool Villa 4 had plenty of unique features! The bedroom featured a romantic canopy bed, while the open-air bathroom embraced the island’s tropical setting with a stone sink, toilet, and two outdoor showers surrounded by natural rock and lush greenery. We also had a separate living area with comfortable loungers, a refrigerator, snacks, and a desk, giving us extra space to unwind between adventures. With its rustic wood finishes, natural stone, and indoor-outdoor design, the villa felt like our own secluded jungle retreat!
☕ Breakfast & Room Service: Dining in Paradise
One of our favorite perks was having breakfast delivered directly to our villa, included with our pool villa booking. We preordered our breakfasts and enjoyed them beside our private infinity pool while taking in the incredible ocean views. Other meals could also be delivered to our villa for a 50 THB room service fee, which was especially convenient after long days of hiking and snorkeling. Being able to relax in our own space without sacrificing a good meal was one of the best parts of staying at View Point Resort!
🐟 The Cape: Oceanfront Gluten-Free Dining
The Cape, View Point Resort’s oceanfront restaurant, became our go-to dining spot throughout our stay, offering beautiful views of Koh Tao’s rocky coastline from its open-air terrace. We enjoyed a variety of Thai dishes, including Pad Thai, Massaman curry, and a flavorful whole fish, with the food being pretty good overall. Most importantly, the restaurant successfully accommodated Scott’s celiac disease and strict gluten-free requirements. We notified the resort before arriving and had no issues with his meals during our stay. Between the scenic waterfront setting, relaxing atmosphere, and convenience of dining onsite after long days exploring the island, The Cape was a great addition to our resort experience!

🚤 Resort Services: Exploring Koh Tao Made Easy
Beyond the beautiful accommodations, View Point Resort made exploring Koh Tao surprisingly convenient. The resort provided complimentary transfers to and from Mae Haad Pier and helped arrange transportation to hiking trailheads and other destinations around the island. We also booked our five-hour private snorkeling boat adventure directly through the resort, with pickup from the resort’s beach. Having these services coordinated in one place made planning our adventures much easier, particularly given Koh Tao’s steep hills and limited transportation options.

🥾 Nearby Hiking: Exploring Koh Tao from View Point Resort
View Point Resort was a great starting point for several of our hiking adventures! We walked directly from the resort to Shark Bay for snorkeling, then explored the coastal trails through June Juea Beach and Sai Nuan Beach on our final morning. We also hiked to John-Suwan Viewpoint and nearby Freedom 2 Beach, using resort-arranged transportation to reach the trailhead before walking back. These adventures offered beautiful scenery and a chance to explore Koh Tao beyond the beaches, with detailed routes, hiking stats, photos, and videos in our Koh Tao travel guide.
