Ecotao Lodge is in Tanote Bay & Ao Leuk on Koh Tao's east coast, 1.9 km from the town centre. Guest feedback describes a quiet setting surrounded by jungle, and the lodge has sea views from its rooms and pool. Tanote Bay Beach is 650 m away; Love Koh Tao viewpoint is 600 m away, and Ao Lang Khai is 750 m away. The eastern bays are quieter and more secluded than Mae Haad and Sairee, the island's pier village and main beach strip.

Koh Tao has no airport, so arrival is by boat at Mae Haad on the west coast. Lomprayah Koh Tao Pier is 2 km from the lodge. Pick-up truck taxis and scooters connect the pier with the eastern coves, but the concrete roads descending to Tanote and Ao Leuk are very steep; allow for a steep final drive. Ecotao Lodge has no parking. The team asks you to share your expected arrival time in advance, and check-in is from 14:00 to 20:00.

Beach time, snorkelling and scuba diving are the main draws along this coast; coral lies close to the shore at many east-coast coves, and Koh Tao has more than 25 dive sites. Ao Leuk is 1 km away, while Laem Thian is 1.6 km away; Nangyuan Island is 5.4 km away and reached by boat. Tanote Peak, 1 km away, is another viewpoint to visit. The east coast is generally the calmer side from April to October, while November to January can bring rougher seas and ferry cancellations around the island.
