The Ozo Kohtao is in Chalok Baan Kao, the quieter village around Koh Tao’s south bay, where dive resorts and the municipal office serve the southern end of the island. The coast here gives you access to several beaches and coves: Ao Leuk is 950 m away, Shark Bay Beach is 1.1 km away, and Chalok Baan Kao Beach is 1.3 km away. Cindy's Tower, a viewpoint, is 750 m from the hotel.

Koh Tao has no airport; visitors arrive by boat at Mae Haad pier on the west coast. Lomprayah Koh Tao Pier is 1.2 km from the hotel. A free shuttle service is available, and free private parking is provided on site. Pick-up truck taxis connect the pier with Chalok Baan Kao, while scooters are another way to travel between the island’s villages and beaches. Roads leading down to Ao Leuk are steep, so take care on the descent. Ferries can be cancelled in rough seas, particularly from November to January.

For time by the water, Ao Leuk and Shark Bay Beach are both close to Chalok Baan Kao, and snorkelling and diving are among Koh Tao’s main activities. Ao Leuk is on the east coast, which is generally the calmer side from April to October; the west and south coasts tend to be calmer from November to March. Other nearby places include Love Koh Tao viewpoint, 1.4 km away, and the Lomprayah pier for onward boat connections. Koh Tao has more than 25 dive sites, including Chumphon Pinnacle and the HTMS Sattakut wreck.
