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.
Dewshore Resort has a total of 20 well-maintained and spacious bungalows; tastefully decorated with sunset sea views over Koh Samui. All have bathrooms with Western fittings and come in a range of styles and prices to suit every traveller.
There are two spacious deluxe Mediterranean villas with air-conditioning, hot water, refrigerator and a separate seating area for you to relax in cool comfort. There are another eight air-conditioned Mediterranean villas that have hot water and a choice of sleeping options. The resort also has twelve fan bungalows that have wood panelled walls and fly screens on all the doors and windows at very reasonable prices.
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.
