Koh Tan
The Preserved Island of South Koh Samui
Koh Tan, also known as Ko Tean or Tean Island, lies just south of Koh Samui in the Gulf of Thailand. Covering approximately seven square kilometers, it remains largely untouched by urban expansion. Solar energy powers much of the island, and only a small local community resides here, preserving a way of life rooted in simplicity and respect for nature.
Visitors to Koh Tan encounter mangroves, tropical birds, grazing buffaloes and panoramic viewpoints overlooking the sea. A White Buddha watches over the island, while traces of its history — from the old school to traditional coconut oil production — reflect a culture passed down through generations. The silence and tranquility are striking, giving many guests the sensation of reaching the true “end of the world.”
Within this preserved setting, Au Bout Du Monde integrates harmoniously into the island’s rhythm. Alongside the private beach and dining experience, guests can also discover Khun Tan Little Shop, a charming boutique offering curated clothing, swimwear, jewelry, bags and beach accessories. The shop also features exclusive ABDM-branded pieces, creating meaningful keepsakes that extend the memory of the island beyond the day itself. It is not merely a souvenir space, but a carefully selected collection reflecting the spirit of Koh Tan.

Nearby, on the mainland just minutes from Thong Krut Pier — the departure point to Koh Tan — additional accommodations are available. Less than one minute from the pier, The Beach Samui, Villa Emotion and South Beach Inn offer convenient access to island excursions. Within approximately five minutes, visitors can find Bungalows Resort and Dream Properties villas for rent. Around ten minutes from the pier, Villa Nirvana provides a more secluded luxury villa option.
Together, these accommodations allow visitors to design a stay that complements their Koh Tan experience, whether immersed directly on the island or positioned conveniently on the southern coast of Koh Samui.
Koh Tan is not simply an excursion from Koh Samui. It is a preserved island destination — tranquil, authentic and deeply connected to its environment — offering one of the most distinctive private island experiences in Thailand.
