Life koh tao resort stands on the hillside above Sairee Beach, the island's main west-coast village. Sairee's 1.8 km shoreline is lined with dive schools, restaurants and beach bars, with sunset views towards Koh Nang Yuan; guests also describe shops and the beach as a short walk away. The nearby Pagoda is 450 m away, Top of the rock is 550 m away, and Sairee Viewpoint is 850 m away. The steep slope makes the walk back from the beach more demanding.

Ferries are the only way to reach Koh Tao, with services arriving at Mae Haad from Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Chumphon and Surat Thani. Lomprayah Koh Tao Pier is 2 km from the resort; pick-up truck taxis and scooters are common ways to continue across the island, and guests mention staff help with taxi arrangements and scooter rentals. Free private parking is available on site, but a space must be reserved. Mae Haad and Sairee also connect by a flat brick shore path, around a 15-minute walk, while roads to many east-coast coves are steep.

Haad Sairee is 1.1 km away, and Ao Hin Wong is 1.2 km away; Ao Tanote Beach lies 1.8 km away. Sairee and the other western and southern bays are generally calmer from November to March, while the east coast is calmer from April to October. Resort activities include snorkelling, diving and walking tours, and Koh Nang Yuan is a 10–20-minute long-tail boat ride from Sairee. Koh Tao's dive sites include Chumphon Pinnacle, and whale sharks are seen more often in March–May and September–October.
