Koh Phayam is a small island in Ranong province on Thailand's Andaman coast, reached by boat from the mainland. The resort sits beside Ao Mae Mai, the bay that gives the nearby beach its name, and the island is known for its quiet beaches and simple village life.

Ao Mae Mai Beach is the closest stretch of sand, about 50 m away. The Koh Phayam Pier, where the boats from the mainland arrive, is 250 m from the resort. Chedi Loi Nam Beach is 400 m off, and the Hin Talu viewpoint is 2 km away.

A day here can be spent on the beaches, with a walk along the bay to the viewpoint, and then back to the resort's saltwater pool and gardens. The gardens are a quiet place to spend the middle of the day, and the open-air bath is a quiet place to finish the afternoon. Further along the coast are Ao Muk Beach and Ao Khao Kwai Beach, which are good places to explore after a morning at the resort, and those who want to see more of the island can start from the pier, since the boats from the mainland arrive there and the resort is close to it.
