Villa Lipa Talay Sawng

Villa Lipa Talay Sawng is a genuine beachfront escape on Koh Samui’s peaceful west coast, and at $50-$90 per bedroom per night it represents outstanding value for a property that sits just steps from the sand at Lipa Noi Beach. This 2-bedroom villa is part of the small Lipa Talay complex (unit 205), tucked away in one of the island’s quietest coastal neighbourhoods – a world away from the tourist bustle of Chaweng and Lamai. The open-plan living area flows out through glass doors to a 7-metre private pool flanked by sun loungers, and beyond that, powdery white sand and legendary west-coast sunsets. For couples travelling together, honeymooners wanting privacy without isolation, or a small family seeking a relaxed Thai holiday, this is an affordable slice of barefoot luxury with attentive staff to match.
