Description

Blue Lotus Resort is a 2-star resort on the Ban Tai coast of Koh Phangan, with direct access to a private beach. Its bungalows and double rooms suit travellers who want the shore close by, with some units facing the sea and others looking towards gardens or mountains. The grounds include a garden, terrace and sun terrace, while the restaurant serves meals on site.

The six room options sleep up to two and range from 26 to 28 m². Each has a private bathroom, with a bath, walk-in shower or both depending on the room. Some units have air conditioning, while two bungalow types are named for their fan cooling; the bathrooms in those Type B rooms have no hot water. A double room with a sea view has a kitchenette with a stovetop, refrigerator, toaster and kitchenware. Free WiFi is available in the rooms, and free private parking is at a nearby location. À la carte breakfast is available each morning.

Rooms

6 room types · 26–28 m²

The six accommodation options include beach-front bungalows, bungalow rooms with air conditioning or a fan, and double rooms. All sleep up to two people and measure 26 or 28 m².

Balconies, patios and terraces feature across several types, while the views vary from sea and mountain scenery to garden, landmark and inner courtyard outlooks.

The two fan bungalow options have different bed layouts: one has an extra-large double bed and the other has two single beds. The double room with a sea view is the largest option and has a kitchenette with a stovetop, refrigerator, toaster, kettle and kitchenware. The garden-view double room has a futon, air conditioning and a seating area. Two Type B fan bungalows have no hot water in their bathrooms.

The resort occupies the Ban Tai stretch on Koh Phangan's south coast, between Thong Sala and the island's southern tip at Haad Rin. Baan Kai Beach is 50 m away, Baan Kai village is 550 m away, and Baan Tai Beach is 1.5 km along the coast. Guest feedback describes the nearby shore as quiet, with sunset views and rocky sections. Reviews also note that a scooter is useful for reaching shops.

Koh Phangan has no airport, so the final arrival is by boat, most often at Thong Sala pier. Ferries connect the island with Koh Samui and the mainland; from Thong Sala, shared songthaew pickups run towards Ban Tai. Scooter hire is another option, and guests have praised staff for arranging rentals and offering local advice. Free private parking is available at a nearby location, with no reservation required. Check-in runs from 14:00 to 21:00, so plan your ferry connections around that window.

For outings, Night Market is 1.5 km away and Haad Baan Tai is 1.6 km away. Haad Rin Nok, 3.8 km from the resort, is the monthly Full Moon Party beach at the island's southern tip. Phaeng Waterfall is 5.2 km inland, in the national park area. Surfing opportunities are also noted around the coast, giving beach-focused stays an activity close to the resort.
