Discover Dinso Resort & Villas Ko Chang
A New Luxury Destination Awaits
IHG Hotels & Resorts has unveiled its latest offering, the Dinso Resort & Villas Ko Chang, Vignette Collection by IHG, marking a significant addition to Thailand's hospitality scene. This resort represents the first true luxury retreat on the island, perfectly blending barefoot luxury with artisanal design and sustainability. Building upon the success of the Dinso Resort & Villas in Phuket, this new opening invites guests to experience a remarkable blend of nature, culture, and community on one of Thailand's most untouched islands.
A Barefoot Oasis
Nestled on the broadest stretch of Koh Chang’s beach, Dinso Resort is a luxurious haven that features recycled timber, handwoven hemp, and lush greenery. With 250 meters of direct ocean access, spacious villas, and an inviting atmosphere, guests are encouraged to slow down, kick off their shoes, and indulge in the island’s tranquil lifestyle. The resort is designed like a village, with palm-lined paths leading to villas enveloped in verdant nature. The beach serves as the vibrant heart of the property, where the expansive golden sands stretch to the horizon, dotted with boats during the day and illuminated by fiery sunsets at night.
Architectural Elegance with a Story
The resort draws its name from Din Sor Pong, a natural white clay used in Southeast Asia as a sunscreen, and is constructed with Dinso clay walls. The development emphasizes sustainable craftsmanship, utilizing upcycled wood, recycled metals, and locally handcrafted items such as rattan and palm shades. Each element tells a unique story, embodying the Vignette Collection's promise of distinct experiences for each guest.
Accommodations that Embrace Comfort
The resort offers a variety of accommodations including 162 rooms and villas starting from 50 square meters. Each unit comes equipped with rain showers, bathtubs, and expansive terraces or balconies. Guests can choose from options with direct pool access, suites with panoramic views, family rooms, or private pool villas. The decor harmoniously fuses rustic charm with understated luxury, featuring teak tones, woven rattan ceilings, and handcrafted hemp details to immerse guests in nature without sacrificing comfort.
A Culinary Journey
Dining at Dinso is a narrative experience. The D_Primitive serves as a breakfast oasis with live cooking stations and transforms into a refined fine-dining venue in the evening, reimagining Thai fusion cuisine. The D_Castaway Beach Club, built from driftwood and shipwreck remnants, celebrates adventure with grilled seafood, Italian, Asian, and Indian dishes, complemented by cocktails and sunset music. D_Wreck offers handcrafted coffee, Thai specialties, and a shipwreck-inspired wine cellar for romantic dinners or tastings. Additionally, the D_Beach Table ritual invites guests to a communal dining experience in the sand, where menus and drinks surprise guests, fostering a sense of camaraderie among strangers.
Wellness and Leisure Activities
The resort artfully balances the carefree spirit of a castaway with curated wellness options. The D_Jamuna Spa combines ancient Asian healing methods with modern treatments, including Nuad Bo-Rarn Thai massages and coconut therapies. Families can enjoy creative activities at the D_Kids Club or sunbathe by the largest outdoor pool on the island. The D_Craft Studio encourages deeper engagement with local culture and sustainability through pottery of Din Sor Pong clay, Muay Thai classes, and artisan workshops.
A Gateway to Nature and Community
Situated at Klong Prao Beach, the resort offers easy access to fishing villages, waterfalls, snorkeling spots, and Koh Chang's rugged landscape. Yet, many guests prefer to stay immersed in the resort's ambient activities, from beach bonfires to handcrafted rituals and sunset gatherings.
