Koh Phayam (Ranong) is an island in the Andaman Sea, off the coast of Ranong province in southern Thailand, and it is reached by boat from the mainland. The resort stands on Ao Khao Kwai, a bay on the island, and the setting suits guests who want beaches, quiet days and time on the water more than nightlife.

The beaches are the main draw here. Ao Khao Kwai Beach (North) lies 450 m away, while Ao Kwang Peeb and Ao Pai beaches are both within a kilometre of the resort. The Hin Talu viewpoint is 1.8 km away, and Koh Phayam Pier, the island's ferry terminal, is 3 km away. The pier is the link to the mainland, so the boat is the way on and off the island.

A good day starts on Ao Khao Kwai Beach (North), and a visit to the Hin Talu viewpoint fits the same day. The afternoon can be spent in the resort's garden or lounge. For more time on the water, the resort also offers canoeing, diving, fishing and snorkelling. Evenings can be spent at the bar or in the shared lounge, and the restaurant, coffee shop and snack bar are on site for meals between the day's activities.
