Anankhira Villas comprises eight Balinese-style villas set on the heights above Sairee Beach, on the west coast of Koh Tao. Each villa features a private pool and an open terrace overlooking the Gulf of Thailand. This 4-star property prioritizes intimacy over extensive hotel services: there is no on-site restaurant, but the village and its shops are within immediate reach.

Why Choose Anankhira Villas

• 4-star accommodation consisting of 8 independent chalets/villas
• Private pool for each villa
• Balinese architecture: wood finishes, expansive glass doors, wooden furnishings
• Elevated position above Sairee Beach, Koh Tao's main hub
• Layout suited to couples, honeymooners, or families seeking privacy

Atmosphere

The property embraces understated elegance. The villas are nestled within tropical vegetation, spaced sufficiently to ensure each maintains its visual and acoustic privacy. The Balinese style—dark wood, low-slung lines, sliding glass doors—dominates, enhanced by contemporary touches in the decor. The atmosphere is serene, removed from the bustle of central Sairee, yet a short walk from restaurants, bars, and dive centers.

The Villas

The eight villas share the same Balinese architectural codes with light-toned floors and refined woodwork. Terraces and balconies are furnished with outdoor seating and overlook Sairee Beach and the gulf.

In terms of amenities, each villa includes:

• Electric kettle and refrigerator
• WiFi, television and DVD player
• Private pool
• Terrace or balcony with sea views

Superior categories add a kitchenette, useful for preparing a light meal or receiving a delivery from the village.

Services and Dining

Anankhira Villas does not offer on-site dining. Two options are available: walk to the establishments on Sairee Beach (a few minutes away) or have a meal delivered directly to your villa—delivery services are widely available across the island. The village night market also offers authentic Thai street-food classics. Upon prior request, the team can arrange transfers from Mae Haad Pier upon your arrival.

Location and Access

Anankhira Villas is located on the west coast of Koh Tao, above Sairee Beach, which hosts most of the island's tourist activity (dive centers, restaurants, shops).

To reach Koh Tao from Bangkok, you'll need to combine air and ferry travel:

• Domestic flight to Chumphon (gulf coast, most direct) or Surat Thani
• Ground transfer (taxi, bus or minivan) to the port: Chumphon Pier or Thung Makham Noi Pier
• Ferry to Mae Haad Pier, Koh Tao's main entry point: expect approximately 1.5 to 3 hours depending on the operator and departure port

Upon arrival at Mae Haad, taxis and songthaews provide transport to your accommodation. Transfers from the pier can be arranged directly with the property upon request.

When to Visit

High season runs from December to April: calm seas, dry weather, and optimal underwater visibility for diving. This is also the busiest period, so booking accommodation and ferry tickets in advance is advisable. The rainy season (May to November) offers more favorable rates, though October-November ferry crossings can be affected by weather conditions.

Nearby Attractions

• Diving and snorkeling at Koh Tao's iconic sites (Shark Bay, Japanese Garden, Chumphon Pinnacle)

• Hike to John-Suwan Viewpoint for panoramic views of the island's south
