The Moondance Magicview celebrates the Koh Tao terrain with wonderfully landscaped paths and traditional bamboo bungalows. Perched on ocean side granite cliffs that overlook the crashing waves and tinier islands, we truly loved staying in these amazing structures.
The entire construction of a each site is made of bamboo with concrete corridors surrounding it for privacy. The walls are made of interwoven bamboo sticks, while the roof is covered with wrapped bamboo-straw clamped by bamboo sticks. The unit is complete with a private terrace, hammock and small sitting table.
The restaurant and common areas features a series of cascading patios meandering down the cliffside to the ocean (be sure to take it all the way down through a mini cave to the waters edge).
Each morning you’ll be treated to coffee, juice and complete breakfast. The host cooks right there and we highly recommend staying in for dinner at least once.
After a week on the island I feel Moondance Magicview was the perfect place to get away from the main strip of tourists, parties and rally get to experience island living to the fullest.
Was there anything you didn’t like about this hotel?
I don’t think we could have expected anything more from the Moondance. Their staff was very kind, the included breakfast was truly delicious and their help managing the way to and from the many beaches around the island was very much appreciated.
