THAILAND | Dinso Resort & Villas Ko Chang will become the first luxury retreat on the island of Ko Chang, surrounded by natural luxury.
IHG Hotels & Resorts debuts Dinso Resort & Villas Ko Chang, Vignette Collection By IHG, the island's first true luxury retreat, where barefoot living meets crafted design and sustainability. Following the success of Dinso Resort & Villas Phuket, this new opening introduces an immersive blend of nature, culture, and community to one of Thailand's most untouched islands.
A barefoot-luxury escape where recycled sleeper wood, handwoven hemp, and lush greenery converge along Koh Chang's widest stretch of beach, the 250 metres of direct oceanfront, spacious villas, and a spirit of castaway freedom, guests are invited to slow down, kick off their shoes, and surrender to island time.
Designed like a village, the resort unfolds through palm-shaded pathways, with villas wrapped in greenery. The beach remains its beating heart where wide golden sands stretch to the horizon, dotted with boats by day and glowing with fiery sunsets by night. Guests gather around communal firepit, sip cocktails at the beach shack, or retreat to shaded corners for quiet solitude.
Named after Din Sor Pong, a natural white clay used in Southeast Asia for sun protection, the resort is built with Dinso clay walls and rooted in sustainable craft. Upcycled wood, reclaimed tin sheets, handmade rattan, and palm umbrellas crafted by local artisans embody the ethos of resourcefulness. Every element tells a story, reflecting Vignette Collection's promise of one-of-a-kind stays.
Offering 162 rooms and villas starting from 50sqm, each with a rain shower, bathtub, and terrace or balcony. Guests can choose direct pool access rooms, suites with panoramic views, family rooms, or private pool villas. Interiors balance rustic charm with understated luxury, teak tones, woven rattan ceilings, and handwoven hemp details, designed to cocoon guests in nature without compromising comfort.
Dining at Dinso is a journey of storytelling and place. D_Primitive serves as a breakfast oasis with live stations and transforms into an elegant fine-dining venue by night, reimagining Thai fusion with sophistication. D_Castaway Beach Club, crafted from driftwood and shipwreck remnants, celebrates adventure with barbecue seafood, Italian, Asian, and Indian plates, cocktails, and sunset music. D_Wreck offers handcrafted coffee, Thai specialities, and a shipwreck-inspired wine cellar for romantic dinners or tastings. Guests also share in the ritual of D_Beach Table, a communal dining experience on the sand, where menus, drinks, and companions are left to surprise with strangers often leaving as friends.
