The two Banyan Villas are built on an exclusive site sharing a communal 15 metre swimming pool set in tropical gardens on the beach front. They offer a great alternative to traditional luxury hotel accommodation, certainly for those preferring a little privacy.
In addition to the communal facilities each Banyan Villa has its own private 10 metre pool with Jacuzzi within a walled tropical garden. The villas themselves are situated roughly 100 metres from the beach which is accessed down a private garden path. Sea views can be enjoyed from the balcony Salas. At pool level the villas are quite private, so guests can choose the privacy of their own garden or alternatively the joint facilities are at their disposal.
The two 200+ metre square properties can accommodate 6 people if used individually, or used together they can cater for larger parties of 12. There is a private access gate between the two villas.
The villas are centrally serviced three times a week by a maid. On request and at a nominal charge a daily maid service and a Thai chef are available. Car rental is also available.
A vast selection of restaurants of many culinary persuasions are close at hand in Maenam and Bohput. More locally 5 minutes walk along the beach you will find a typical Thai restaurant with tables right on the beach, the restaurant also offers international fare.
