Baan Talay Demo Resort
Nine villas on the quiet end of Koh Samet
Nine villas and suites on the quiet southern end of Koh Samet, two hours from Bangkok and a fifteen-minute boat ride from Ban Phe. The beach in front of the property is about 200 metres long and ends in rocks at both ends, which is why it stays empty.
What it is like
There is one restaurant, one pool, and no road access — the last stretch is a footpath through the trees. Staff carry luggage. Nothing here is large.
Rooms
Three types: two pool villas and a beachfront suite. All rates include breakfast and the boat transfer from Ban Phe pier.
Getting here
Ferry from Ban Phe to Na Dan pier, then a ten-minute pickup we arrange. Tell us your ferry and someone will be waiting.
Rooms
Sunset Pool Villa
62 sqm · sleeps 3 · Sea view, west facing
A standalone villa with a private plunge pool and a west-facing terrace that looks straight down the bay. The sun sets into the water in front of it, which is the whole reason the villa is angled the way it is.
THB 8,900 per night
Garden Pool Villa
48 sqm · sleeps 2 · Tropical garden
Set back from the water in the garden, with its own walled plunge pool and an outdoor shower. It is the quietest villa on the property and about two minutes on foot from the sand.
THB 6,400 per night
Beachfront Suite
36 sqm · sleeps 2 · Beachfront
A first-floor suite that opens onto the sand, with a shaded balcony and a daybed facing the water. The smallest room we have and the closest to the sea.
