Rates & Reservations

Situated amongst the shady palms on peaceful Ban Tai beach, Dewshore Bungalows has been making its guests feel like part of the family for nearly 2 decades. Conveniently located in between Thongsala and Haad Rin, near the fishing village of Ban Tai on the unspoiled south-east coast of Koh Phangan Dewshore Bungalows is set among lush tropical surroundings and has a long wide stretch of beach for idling the days away. Being only 5kms from Had Rin also makes Dew Shore an ideal place to stay for those wishing to experience the Full Moon Party - but from a safe distance.

Hospitality is great here and the facilities have changed with the times. Over the years the family at Dew Shore have used their experience to develop the resort into the tropical paradise that it is now. From the moment you arrive, their friendly reception and efficient service make you feel so at home that you'll never want to leave.

At Dewshore Bungalows you'll find luxurious modern bungalows at reasonable prices. Recently upgraded to include impressive Air-Con Mediterranean style villas set around a beautiful Sunset swimming pool, Dewshore has also kept the traditional beach bungalows so that the accommodation at the resort is suitable for all budgets. Prices start at 550 Baht, up to 3200 Baht for spacious family/group rooms - all with private balcony and bathroom.

Ao Ban Tai has long been a favourite of many returning visitors to Koh Phangan and is part of the long unbroken stretch of white sand beach that runs from Ban Khai right the way up to Thong Sala. Most of the land along the coastline has been farmed as coconut plantations and the area takes on a dreamy desert island feel with palms leaning in to the calm emerald sea. Ao Ban Tai has a broad beach that is protected from the high seas by the rich coral reef that follows the south and west coastline, providing a haven for beautiful and harmless marine life and a great place to go snorkelling.

The resorts are generously spaced on the long beach of Ao Ban Tai, making it easy to find solitude; and there are also a few beach bars if you fancy a drink under the stars. The fishing village of Ban Tai has some great places to try the local seafood and there are even a couple of party venues if you fancy dancing the night away on the white sand beach.

Facilities

The restaurant at Dew Shore is set amongst the wonderful mature gardens with open walls so that there is barely a transition between outside and inside. It looks over tropical fish pools and through the palms, providing an image of paradise with picturesque sunset views over the bay. The extensive menu is reasonably priced with special regional Thai dishes, Western cuisine including Italian pasta and mashed potato, gourmet sandwiches and burgers, extensive salads and much more. If you want to sample the magnificent seafood that the Gulf of Thailand offers, Dew Shore provide a fresh daily selection of locally caught delicacies and the family will put together an exquisite seafood barbeque with an after-dinner fire on the beach for groups who order in advance. There is also a bar in the restaurant where you can unwind and relax with a delicious cocktail or cold beer after a hard day on the beach.

Dew Shore offers a range of facilities and activities to make your stay more comfortable and enjoyable. Free snorkelling equipment is available to explore the rich coral reef off Ao Ban Tai that lays about 130 metres from the beach; protecting it from the incoming sea and creating a calm bay that is deep enough to swim in most tidal conditions. Another great way to check out the abundant local marine life is by taking a trip on Dew Shore's traditional Thai longtail boat. Volleyball and badminton can be played on the beach, there's a large communal hammock area for catching sunset and a satellite TV for live sporting events, movies and videos. There are telephone and laundry services provided and a travel booking service if you ever want to move on! Horse riding can be arranged, motorbikes and jeeps are available for hire and there's a taxi service if you don't want to drive.

Should the tides be low as they can be at certain times of the year Dewshore Bungalows have now completed their Sunset swimming pool for their guests to enjoy and cool off in.
