The Place Luxury Boutique Villas

A brilliant stay! Guy and Ksenia were very helpful throughout and made perfect hosts. The Villas are simply incredible, you feel immersed in the jungle whilst being a 15 min walk to the beach. The pool was lovely, lots of wildlife, eco-friendly, I couldn’t fault it. Would definitely return!

It’s in the title - luxury villas. This villa exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, I was blown away by its beauty and tranquility. Guy, who owns and runs the villa was a great host - he showed and gave me a whole run down of the villa which also included a booklet with food spots to eat or that deliver, where to snorkel and what the island offers. The bathroom was incredibly spacious and designed like a mini beach—it felt like a luxurious escape within the villa itself. The infinity pool was another standout feature, offering stunning views and a perfect place to relax. I also appreciated the complete privacy; it truly felt like a secluded paradise. The entire villa was spacious and you won’t be short of places to lounge around. Every aspect of my stay was perfect, and I can't wait to return. You can also hire scooters through the villa (definitely needed for Koh Tao) Highly recommend!

WOW! WOW! WOW! Those were the only words out of my mouth when we arrived at our villa. Seriously, no photos can really capture the beauty of this place. We have stayed in many luxury hotels, and I would pick these villas again any day. It's not often that I am in awe of my surroundings, but this place did it for me. I normally choose oceanfront properties, but I really loved that the villas were up in the hills. The view with the lush greenery and flowers all around was just stunning! The villas felt very private, like we had the island to ourselves, but also close enough that when we passed through the gates, we were right in the heart of town. Guy was an outstanding host. He has really perfected hospitality and thought of everything you could want. My biggest recommendation is to rent a scooter! I wouldn’t have wanted to walk up that hill everyday in the heat. It may seem intimidating to drive a scooter on that island but it is very easy and driving around the island ended up being our favourite this to do. Besides relaxing in our private pool of course.

The resort is on the edge of town set high up in the tree line. Walking distance to town downhill but you will need transport back up! It's a superb place to stay and once inside your own villa you really don't notice anyone else or any other villa. The view is spectacular, the villas are clean and tidy and the host is very responsive and helpful. It really is a wonderful place to stay away from the huslte and bustle of the village but within easy reach.

This stay was a dream. All the villas have private pools and kitchens. The bed was superb and the villa fantastic. You have a great degree of privacy and cannot see into the other villas. The owner Guy was very nice, great communication and arranged ferry tickets, snorkeling tour, and motor scooter all payable at the end of the stay. Highly recommend this place!

This is our second time at The Place and it’s just as amazing as we remember. The view out to the coast is spectacular and they’ve thought of everything, lots of space, comfortable beds, well stocked fridge.

This is our second trip to The Place and we couldn’t imagine staying anywhere else on Koh Tao. Guy and team have made the perfect ‘place’. It’s a quiet haven with sea views for sunset right from your villa. In the time between visits some enterprising drivers have set up on WhatsApp, a quick message night or day gets you picked up and taken to the beach or collected and driven back to your villa for less than the price of a cocktail. Just book it, you won’t be disappointed!

If you’re looking for spectacular views and quiet luxury with a private pool in your villa, you found it. The Place is close to town but far enough away to avoid all the noise, and hustle and bustle of the main road. If you don’t feel like driving, the selection of delivery restaurants The Place provides was perfect. Guy and the staff were amazing hosts and treated us like family. We couldn’t have asked for a better honeymoon!

This property is amazing, and they have thought of almost everything. I wish in the pictures or description they had included how steep and inaccessible the rooms were if you have any issues climbing. The stairs are very tall and steep and mostly no railings. I had to leave after the first day because I could not get in and out of my room. Please be aware this is only for very fit people. I would never have booked this had I any idea. I paid for four nights and could only stay one, it was beyond disappointing. I am an experienced traveler and watch carefully for these issues and there was no photos or warning about this site.
