Guest reviews consistently rate us highly for our exceptional luxurious accommodation, service, privacy, natural surroundings, sustainability initiatives, and authentic island experience.

To learn more about our guests’ experiences, please visit our TripAdvisor Reviews and Google Reviews pages.

Koh Jum Beach Villas traces its origins to the aftermath of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. In 2005, the owners first came to Koh Jum as part of tsunami relief efforts and developed strong friendships with members of the local community during the island’s recovery. Inspired by the island’s natural beauty, authentic way of life, and welcoming community, they returned in 2006 and purchased the land that would become Koh Jum Beach Villas.

Our vision was to create a low-density luxury villa resort that blended harmoniously with the surrounding environment while contributing positively to the local community. Over the years, Koh Jum Beach Villas has grown into an award-winning eco-conscious boutique resort, featuring individually designed private villas set along a 700-metre beachfront and within lush tropical gardens.

Today, sustainability, community engagement, personalized hospitality, and the preservation of Koh Jum’s unique character remain at the heart of the resort’s philosophy. The resort continues to employ local residents and support responsible tourism initiatives, creating a place where luxury, nature, and community coexist in harmony.

Koh Jum Beach Villas is located on Koh Jum, a tranquil island in Krabi Province on Thailand’s Andaman Coast. Set on a secluded beachfront with views towards the Phi Phi Islands, the resort combines natural beauty, privacy, and authentic island charm while remaining easily accessible from Krabi International Airport in approximately 90 minutes.

Koh Jum is a tropical island with a diverse natural ecosystem, and guests may occasionally encounter local wildlife during their stay. As with many destinations in Thailand, some species found on the island and in the surrounding waters can be venomous, including certain snakes, marine creatures, insects, and spiders. 

However, encounters are rare, and these animals generally avoid human contact. The island is also home to a variety of harmless wildlife, including geckos, birds, butterflies, and other creatures that contribute to Koh Jum’s rich biodiversity. 

We recommend being aware of your surroundings and taking sensible precautions when exploring natural areas, such as wearing appropriate footwear, using insect repellent, and avoiding contact with unfamiliar wildlife. Reef or water shoes are also recommended when exploring the beach, tidal areas, and the sea.

Our team works diligently to maintain guest areas and is always available to assist should you have any concerns during your stay.

Koh Jum Beach Villas is ideally located for exploring the stunning islands of the Andaman Sea. Guests can join private or shared boat excursions to some of Krabi’s most beautiful destinations, including the Phi Phi Islands, Koh Rok, Koh Haa, Railay Beach and Hong Islands.

Koh Jum Island

Koh Jum Beach Villas offers a relaxed atmosphere of refined barefoot luxury, and there is no formal dress code. Lightweight, comfortable resort wear is appropriate throughout the property.

We kindly ask guests to dress respectfully when visiting the restaurant and bar and the local villages and to refrain from wearing swimwear in these areas. As Koh Jum is a traditional Thai island community, topless sunbathing is not accepted and is respectfully prohibited on the beach and throughout the resort.

Yes, alcohol is available on Koh Jum, although in a more limited and understated way compared to larger tourist destinations.

You will find it in selected shops, restaurants, and resorts that cater to visitors. Koh Jum remains a peaceful and traditional island, so there is no nightlife scene. Instead, guests can enjoy a relaxed drink in a quiet, refined setting, typically within resort or beachfront environments.

At Koh Jum Beach Villas, we have a fully stocked bar in partnership with ecoSPIRITS. We serve premium spirits through a closed-loop system that reduces single-use glass and lowers our carbon footprint. In addition, our Wine Room houses over 400 labels from award-winning producers around the world, creating a curated destination for wine enthusiasts and curious palates alike. This thoughtfully selected collection offers guests the opportunity to explore exceptional wines in an intimate and tranquil island setting.

Yes, there are restaurants on Koh Jum, although the dining scene is small and relaxed compared to more developed tourist destinations. Most restaurants and bars on the island will be in full operation between November – April. Most restaurants are locally run and are found along the beaches or near village areas, offering a mix of Thai cuisine and simple international dishes. 

Koh Jum’s dining experience is generally quiet and unhurried, reflecting the island’s peaceful character rather than a busy or commercial restaurant scene.

Koh Jum has several small grocery shops and local markets, although there are no large supermarkets on the island. The island’s three villages offer an authentic glimpse into local life, with Baan Koh Jum being the largest.

If you wish to bring something for local villagers the following items are valued and appreciated:

  • School supplies
  • Coloring pencils
  • Sporting equipment
  • Toys

In Thai language we use “khrap” at the end of the sentence to be polite for male speakers and then “ka” if you are female speakers.

Sawasdee  – Hello / Goodbye
Khop khun – Thank you
Sabai dee mai? – How are you?
Hong nam yoo tee nai? – Where is the bathroom? 
Aroi mak – Very delicious 
Mai phet – Not spicy
Chok Dee na – Goodluck
Un Ni Tao Rai? – How much does this cost?

A small effort in Thai is always warmly received, and even simple phrases can make interactions more meaningful and enjoyable during your stay.

Hospitality and mutual respect are the cornerstones of daily life in Thailand. Embracing a few local customs will beautifully enrich your stay, especially when exploring our island and nearby communities:

  • The Power of a Smile: In Thailand, a smile is a wonderful, multi-purpose tool. It is used to greet, say thank you, apologize, and show goodwill. When in doubt, a warm smile is always the perfect response.
  • The “Wai” Greeting: You will frequently be greeted with a Wai—a slight bow with your palms pressed together at chest level. It is a traditional sign of respect and welcome.
  • A Gentle Pace: Life on the islands moves at a relaxed, community-oriented pace. You will find the local people to be incredibly helpful, welcoming, and calm. Maintaining a gentle, polite tone (Jai Yen, or having a “cool heart”) is highly valued and appreciated.
  • Mindful Etiquette: Please remember that the head is considered the most sacred part of the body, while the feet are the lowest. It is customary to avoid touching anyone’s head and to never point your feet at people, religious items, or images of the Royal Family.

When visiting local villages or temples outside the resort, dressing modestly (covering shoulders and knees) is a wonderful way to show respect for local traditions.

Koh Jum Island enjoys a tropical climate with warm temperatures year-round, typically ranging from 25°C to 34°C (77°F to 93°F).

In contrast, guests at Koh Jum Beach Villas are often seeking a slower pace of life. Many find that the island’s natural beauty, peaceful surroundings, and relaxed atmosphere are exactly what they came for—an unhurried escape from the busier mainland.

Koh Jum Beach Villas Guest Experiences

At Koh Jum Beach Villas, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. As a low-density eco-chic retreat, we are committed to responsible tourism that protects the natural environment while supporting the local community.

Our practices include extensive use of solar energy, energy-efficient villa design with natural ventilation, and a strong focus on reducing single-use plastics through refillable amenities and glass bottled water systems. Waste is carefully managed through recycling, composting of organic materials, and a strict no-burn policy.

We prioritize local sourcing, with the majority of our team and suppliers coming from Koh Jum and surrounding communities. Our organic gardens supply fresh produce to the restaurant, and we actively support local education, community projects, and wildlife welfare initiatives.

Land and marine conservation are also central to our philosophy, including mangrove planting, beach clean-ups, and habitat preservation across the resort’s natural surroundings.

Select villas at Koh Jum Beach Villas feature private pools, offering an added sense of privacy and relaxation within your own tropical setting. All guests also have access to the resort’s shared swimming pool located close to the beach.
