The villa is ideal for up to four adults and 2 children, with 2+1 bedrooms, open plan living room, well equipped kitchen, large upstairs balcony off the master bedroom and a large shaded terrace on the ground floor.

Accommodation in detail

Two sets of double doors open out onto the ground floor shaded terrace, cooled by ceiling fans and where you will find a large dining table and sun loungers.

To the rear of the living area and behind a counter bar is an open plan kitchen equipped with hotplates, microwave oven, coffee maker and fridge/freezer.
Behind the kitchen there is a corridor which leads to the downstairs bedroom. The bedroom has a Queen-sized bed and connects to an en-suite bathroom. Further along the corridor are stairs to the first floor which brings you directly into a “mezzanine bedroom” which is ideal for children as it adjoins. the master bedroom. The master bedroom is equipped with a King-sized bed and leads to a large en-suite bathroom. Double doors open out onto the upstairs balcony where you can laze and relax enjoying the views toward the sea across the lush tropical gardens. All bedrooms are fitted with air-conditioning and ceiling fans.
There are only 6 holiday villas in the spacious grounds of the Coconut Tropicana all built in a similar style. The villas surround the large central swimming pool which has a small separated pool for children, a whirlpool massage and sun-loungers to relax upon.
Past the swimming pool and down to the beach there are views across to the neighbouring islands of Koh Phangan and Angthong Marine Park. On a clear day you can even see the island of Koh Tao in the distance and at night over the marine park you can see some spectacular sun sets.

Bangkok Airways also operate direct flights from other cities within Thailand, as well as international locations such as Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia and China.
