Banyan Bay Villas

Banyan Bay Villas sits on Koh Sriboya, part of the Koh Jum island group, close to a quiet stretch of sand at Koh Pu. The villas are built in a traditional Thai wooden style with natural materials rather than a modern resort finish, and the setting is genuinely remote: reaching Ao Nang or Koh Lanta means a 40 to 50-minute boat ride.

Four villa types are available, from the Mali and Malee villas at 56 square metres up to the Banyan Villa at 90 square metres for up to four adults, and the Orchid Villa at 80 square metres. Every villa has a private balcony over the garden, a fan, seating area and en suite bathroom with shower. Banyan Bay Terrace Restaurant serves Thai seafood, and continental or American breakfast is included. Free private parking is available on-site.

Insider Tip: Confirm your boat transfer times with the resort in advance. Getting to and from Koh Lanta or Ao Nang runs on a boat schedule, not an on-demand taxi.

Best for travellers who want a quiet, boat-access villa stay on Koh Jum away from the busier islands nearby.
