Indie Beach began life when a Norwegian traveller met a local guy, built a home and rented it out on Airbnb. Fast forward a few years and Indie Beach is now a small resort which combines Thai service and charm with Scandinavian minimalist design, cool, calm colours and efficiency.
The small resort consists of a beach house, nine super comfy, elegant bungalows with AC, and a laid back beach café serving fresh, delicious smoothies, Thai food and fusion food all day long. There are also daily yoga classes of offer. The concrete bungalows are all air-conditioned but the large wooden Family house, which is by the sea isn’t. It’s designed to be cooled by the sea breeze and so AC isn’t necessary.
Indie Beach is one of the best small resorts on the island, and especially suited to free spirited, yoga loving, healthy eating folks. You probably won’t enjoy Indie Beach if you plan to party every night. It’s nice spot to de-stress and chill.
The food was great, but this place isn't exactly family-friendly, especially with little kids. The staff could defin 😀 - Great location if you're a backpacker who wants to enjoy some peace and good food. But as a family, it's not ideal since there's no pool, and the beach is filled with stones and rocks. 😞 - The reception and restaurant staff seemed pretty unenthused about being at work, and their English was pretty much non existing. Only one or two persons were happy and smiled.

Family run, beaut place with amazing views/location 😀 - The location is amazing, friendly staff, beautiful room, family run, the cafe restaurant severed great food and drinks and the view is amazing. The beds were very comfortable and the room was very clean, they are sustainable and provide water jugs you can re fill. It is a beautiful place to stay on the nicest beach in Ko Chang

Love it 😀 - It was incredibly great in the Indie Beach Bungalows 😍 you arrive and feel like home. The staff are great, the bungalows have everything you need, it's clean and the food is very, very tasty! There are many dogs and cats there and I miss my orange cat already 😀 10/10 😞 - Maybe only that it is a bit outside, but if you rent a scooter no problem at all

Nice houses but rest (food, beach, staff) dissapointing 😀 - Nice houses in green armosphere 😞 - Manager is pushy and staff not really friendly. You cannot swim in front of the hotel because of the rocks

Fantastic and great value for money 😀 - The location and setting, the design, the fantastic staff and the food and drinks 😞 - Beds on the hard side, which is very much true for all of Thailand. The bathroom was partly open to the outside, allowing insects etc to enter the bathroom.
