There are 2 villages on Koh Mak, ‘Ban Ao Nid’ on the Southeastern coast is home to around 50 families plus the island’s school, temple and clinic and ‘Ban Laem Son’ which lies in the northwest corner of the island away from virtually all of the tourist development.
As you can see from the above map pretty much all the resorts lie on one of the two main beaches. But as most resorts are relatively small and there is plenty of undeveloped beachfront land, you’re in no danger of feeling as though you are on a busy touristy island even in peak season. And it is still easy to head off and find a few hundred metres of beach to yourself

In the northwest of the island Suan Yai Beach offers sun worshipper’s the chance to toast themselves along a 2 kilometre stretch of white sand beach. (For a good photo op. head up the ridge at the western end of the beach, to Koh Mak Vista, for an amazing view north towards Koh Chang.) From Koh Mak Vista it’s only 5 minutes walk to the southwestern shore of the island where you’ll find Ao Kao beach, the northern stretch of which is the most developed area on the island which small resorts lining the beach and an increasing number of small cafes and restaurants on the main road which runs along the rear of the resorts.
