Sandy Bay was one of the first resorts on Had Yao, welcoming its first guests way back in 1985. The friendly and efficient family run business quickly earned a reputation as one of the best resorts on Koh Phangan, set amongst some of the most beautiful scenery the island has to offer. Sandy Bay's gardens have matured over time, providing beautiful and lush surroundings, perfect for enjoying your own piece of paradise on this most idyllic of Koh Phangan's beaches. The resort had been planned to provide a peaceful and natural environment for its guests under the shade of tall coconut palms, with every possibility covered to ensure guests stay at Sandy Bay is the best possible.
Had Yao, or "long beach" is amongst the top three beaches on the island, and the most popular on the sunset side of Koh Phangan. It has a one kilometre stretch of white sand that is wide enough to play football on, great swimming, sunset views and more than enough space to allow for it's ever expanding popularity; many consider it the "perfect" beach. Had Yao has developed over the years in harmony with the beautiful surroundings, retaining its natural splendor and laid back vibe that drew the first travellers here. Sandy Bay has been a great influence on the development of the area, building to high standards whilst embracing the nature that surrounds the resort.
Since the turn of the millennium, the old palm leave huts have been replaced with new bungalows in a range of styles and budgets; all with fan and private bathroom and some with air conditioning and hot water. All have sea views and with their years of experience in the hospitality trade, Sandy bay have designed the bungalows with the guests best interests considered; fitting mosquito screening on their doors and windows, providing spacious rooms and balconies and finishing the bathrooms to hotel standards. Most of the bungalows are right on the beach, and those that aren't still command excellent views as they are set in the small foothills that look over Had Yao. At Sandy Bay Resort there is a variety of accommodation options available at a range of budgets to suit every traveller. Over the last two years, the old palm leaf huts have been replaced with new bungalows and there's a wide choice of luxury air-conditioned group bungalows, hilltop wooden lodges and masses of beachfront bungalows.
All the bungalows are well maintained in lush gardens, with fully tiled, "Western" fitted bathrooms and fly screens on all their doors and windows. The resort occupies a large section of the beach and the bungalows are all well spaced, with generous balconies and stunning sunset sea views.
