Cede Boutique Beach Resort

All the bungalows have air conditioning and a garden view, and they are set among the resort's gardens. Guests can choose a larger bungalow for up to three people, which has a balcony or terrace, or a smaller one for up to two people, which has soundproofing.

The bungalows give a quiet base on the island, and days here can be spent on the beach or on a diving course from the resort's dive centre. Free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms.

The resort's services include a dive centre with instructors, a taxi service and daily housekeeping. Guests can communicate in English, German, Italian and Thai.

Breakfast is continental and included, and free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms, with free parking for guests too.

An airport transfer can be arranged with the resort, and the Koh Phayam Pier ferry terminal is 3.8 km away for guests arriving by boat. Daily housekeeping is provided each day, and the dive centre runs courses for every level of experience.

Cede Boutique Beach Resort sits on Koh Phayam, a small island in Ranong province on the Andaman coast of southern Thailand. There is no bridge to the island, so the trip from the mainland is by boat, and the crossing is the first part of any stay. What you find on arrival is a landscape of beaches and bays, with small villages scattered along the coast. Days here are spent outdoors, on the sand or on the water.

Ao Yai Beach is 650 m from the resort, and the bay of Ao Yai lies close by, at 750 m. Further afield, the Hin Talu viewpoint is 2.7 km away and offers a wider view of the coast, while the Bot Klang Thale pagoda is 3.9 km away. The Koh Phayam Pier, where boats from the mainland arrive, is 3.8 km from the resort.

A day on the island can start with a dive course from the resort's dive centre, followed by a walk along the sand at Ao Yai Beach and an afternoon at the Hin Talu viewpoint. In the rainy months, rough seas can stop the boats to the island, so the timing of a trip depends on the weather.
