7. Ko Jum Beach Villas, Nua Klong
Located on a tiny island off the tourist radar, the Ko Jum Beach Villas is the perfect choice for travelers who want something different–a small resort with their own private stretch of sand, away from the buzz of popular beaches. Here, the villas and bungalows aren’t just facing the beach–they are actually on it, with outdoor furniture set right on your own piece of golden sand.
Some villas offer private pools; some offer walls made completely out of glass that you can open to feel like you’re almost sleeping under the stars. Beachfront villas have a stunning sunset view from their private terraces, while poolside villas are lost in a lush tropical garden of palm trees and secret corners where you can sit for quiet privacy once the sun comes down.
Reachable only by boat, the resort is set up so you can have access to anything you might want when on the island. There are family rooms available and childcare provided, as well as a library, cooking classes, and an on-site cafe available. You can also borrow a bicycle or a canoe for free, or have the tour desk arrange a snorkeling trip for you.
