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.

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.

Getting to Banyan Villas
By air
Most visitors to Koh Samui, whether domestic or international, will reach the island by air.
Bangkok Airways own the private airport on the island and operate flights from Bangkok every thirty minutes from early morning until 9pm. With a flight time of just 45 minutes, it is but a short hop! Bangkok Airways also operate direct flights from other cities within Thailand, as well as international locations such as Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia and China. Check the schedule on Bangkok Airways website for details.
By road & ferry
If driving through Thailand then head for the small port of Donsak on the southeast coast about 70km from Surat Thani. There are two car ferry services operating from here, with crossings to/from Koh Samui every hour between dawn and dusk.
Visas
Thailand does not require visas for most European, North American, Australasian or ASEAN nationals if travelling for the purposes of tourism. It is best though to be sure and if travelling from overseas we advise you to first check with your travel agent or nearest Thai Consulate before beginning your journey.
