Tanote Bay is on Ko Tao, an island in the Gulf of Thailand known for its dive courses, which draw travellers from around the world. Ao Tanot Bay is 50 m from the property, and the bays around it have small beaches and dive shops close together. Life along the coast revolves around the sea, and the diving and snorkelling that the island is known for are the main reason many visitors come. Ko Tao has no airport, so the last part of the journey is by boat, and the bay itself gives the resort its name.

Calypso Diving Koh Tao, a dive centre, is 100 m away. Aow Leuk Bay is 1.7 km away, and Sairee Beach, one of the island's best-known beaches with dive shops and restaurants along the sand, is 2.4 km away. Diving courses and snorkel trips are among the island's main draws, so most days here can be spent in the water if you wish.

Koh Nang Yuan, a trio of small islands joined by sandbars, is 5.2 km away and is reached by boat. It makes a good day trip for snorkelling, and the pier is where boats to the nearby islands depart, so boats are the way to explore beyond the bay. The resort's own private beach gives you the sea without leaving the grounds.
