KALUME' Eco Boutique Resort-Adult only

Cheaper than some of the other resorts. Friendly host and a lovely black lab 🥰 the staff were very helpful. The food was ok if a little basic. The room we had was a good size and clean and we liked the eco philosophy of the hotel. No plastic was great to see

We had to pay additionally for aircon which wasn't very obvious from the description of the room. No hot water. We arranged transfers to and from the airport which in retrospect seemed a little expensive compared to just doing it yourself, but I guess you pay for the convenience of the boat to the hotel. No way to switch the ambient light off in the room (that we could find) and needed a bigger room light

I have no words, this place is breathtaking. The beach, the view, the staff, the food, the corals, the atmosphere. I would not change one single thing about this stay. The rooms are cosy, no air conditioning which was no problem for me but my partner struggled a little. They give you sarongs for your beach chairs, carafes of water which you can refill once for free each day and then again for 10baht. This is understandable given the size of the island. The staff were just wonderful. The atmosphere at every meal was wonderful. The evening dinners were so romantic and oh. My. God. The food. I was eating when I wasn’t even hungry. I spent a year in Italy last year and this food was comparable to all the best meals I ate there. I was eating even when I wasn’t hungry - gluttony! You MUST eat the pistachio gelato. I’ll be dreaming about it for years. The snorkelling was the best I’ve done in my life, you swim right out onto the corals. We borrowed masks and a kayak. Incredible stay. I honestly have no words for how incredible those three days were, we’ll be back. Thank you so much

The staff, the attention to detail, the food, the location. This was a wonderful final getaway after 3 weeks in Thailand. We loved the laid-back atmosphere. The eco nature of the resort was most welcome after a lot of single-use water bottles and other items on our trip. Would highly recommend and would jump at the chance to return. We love snorkelliing and the reef is amazing - we spent hours out there.

It should be noted that there is no AC in the rooms. There is a fan, which is helpful, but if that is a non-starter with you, then it is not the resort for you.

We absolutely loved everything about this place. The warm welcome and lovely staff, beautiful accommodation, the amazing Italian food, the snorkelling equipment you can rent free of charge.. This place is the perfect place to relax while still having enough options for activities. Kalume helped us rent a private boat to go to the emerald cave (and even a guide to guide us through the dark cave) and snorkelling for a very good price. I would recommend doing this! We had a lovely day on the boat. I would also recommend the snorkelling spot at the bottom of the island. While lots of tourists visit Koh kradan daily for the great snorkelling, when you’re staying at this resort you don’t notice the traffic. It is a very relaxing place with a good vibe. We were sad to leave.

There’s no airconditioning, just a fan, but that doesn’t change our mind on this place. If you leave all windows and doors open with insect screen on, the temperature in the room is not too hot.
