Blue Chitta Yoga & Freediving

Blue Chitta Yoga & Freediving is a hostel in Mae Haad, Koh Tao, with dormitory beds overlooking the sea. Its beachfront setting puts the shore beside the property, while balconies and a terrace provide outdoor space. The accommodation comprises a female dormitory and a mixed dormitory, each with bunk beds, air conditioning, a sea-view balcony and a shared bathroom with a shower. The two room options differ in the number of beds, and the female dorm also has a patio; seating areas are available in both.

Yoga classes and scuba diving opportunities make the hostel suited to travellers interested in water activities, and snorkelling is available too. You have free WiFi throughout, free public parking on site and a shuttle service for an additional charge. Daily housekeeping, lockers and 24-hour security are among the practical services. Breakfast options include vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free choices. Mae Haad's ferry village has island services close by, and the flat coast path connects it with Sairee.

Both accommodation options are large 70 m² dormitory rooms, with each booking for one bunk bed. One is a female dormitory with 10 beds; the other is a mixed dormitory with eight. Both have balconies overlooking the sea, air conditioning, seating areas and shared bathrooms with showers. The rooms have tiled or marble floors, linen and fans, and the upper floors are reached by stairs.

The female dorm adds a patio, which the mixed room does not have. Each option offers a sea-facing outdoor space and a shared-room arrangement rather than a private room. A laptop safe is available in both rooms, while hearing-accessible features are included in the female dorm. The room types differ most clearly in who shares the space and the number of beds, while retaining the sea view and balcony.

Beach access shapes the stay, with balconies and a terrace for time outdoors. Yoga classes, diving and snorkelling are available, and evening entertainment gives you an organised activity after time by the water. A shuttle service is offered, while daily housekeeping, lockers, laptop safes and 24-hour security cover practical needs. Air conditioning is provided, and fans are also available in the dorm rooms; upper floors are reached by stairs, with hearing-accessible features present.

The shared bathrooms have showers, toilets, towels, linen and free toiletries. Sea views and seating areas extend the dormitory setup, with sockets near the beds. Extra towels or sheets are available for a fee. Internet access is free throughout, and free public parking is possible on site. Breakfast choices include vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options.

Mae Haad is Koh Tao's west-coast pier village, where banks, pharmacies, the government hospital and a hyperbaric chamber serve visitors across the island. Blue Chitta Yoga & Freediving faces the shore: Mae Haad Beach is 50 m away, while Haad Ao Mae is 150 m away. A flat brick shoreline path links Mae Haad with Sairee on foot in about 15 minutes; Sairee is the island's main stretch of sand, with dive schools, restaurants and beach bars. This part of the coast is comparatively level and has most of Koh Tao's everyday services.

Koh Tao has no airport; passengers arrive by boat at Mae Haad pier, 500 m from the hostel. Crossings take 1.5–2 hours from Koh Samui, 45–90 minutes from Koh Phangan, or about 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours from Chumphon. From the pier, you can cover the last stretch on foot or by pick-up truck taxi; the hostel also offers a paid shuttle service. Free public parking is possible on site. Tell the hostel your expected arrival time; check-in runs from 14:00 to 17:30.

The beach choices continue along the west and south coasts: Sairee Beach is 300 m from the hostel, Jansom Bay Beach 1.3 km, Sai Nuan Beach 1.8 km and Aow Leuk Beach 2.2 km. Diving and snorkelling are central island activities, with sites including Chumphon Pinnacle, White Rock and Japanese Gardens; long-tail boats connect with offshore coves and Koh Nang Yuan. Conditions change by season: February to April is generally the calmest, while October to December is wetter and rougher, with November the month most prone to ferry disruption.
