Villas Sabai Jai

Villas Sabai Jai is a four-star villa in Shark Bay & Sai Daeng, Koh Tao, with private pools and sea views. The three villa options range from 167 to 450 m² and have three or four bedrooms, kitchens and outdoor dining areas. Eagle Villa has four bedrooms in separate buildings and a 14-metre infinity pool; Gecco Villa has four bedrooms across deck and lower levels, while Turtle Villa has three ensuite bedrooms. Bedroom access depends on the size of your party, so some rooms remain locked when fewer people stay.

Air conditioning, kitchen equipment, terraces and poolside seating feature across the villas. Facilities include spa treatments, massage, yoga and cooking classes, as well as a tour desk and shuttle service. You can also find snorkelling, diving and canoeing among the activities. Free private parking is available, and WiFi is free in public areas. The villas are on a steep hillside about 2.6 km from Koh Tao's centre, with Sai Daeng Beach around 200 m away. Guests praise the sea outlook and friendly staff, while noting that transport is useful for reaching nearby shops and beaches.

Villas Sabai Jai offers three spacious villa layouts, each with a private pool, kitchen, air conditioning, sea and pool views, and a private bathroom. The options range from 167 to 450 m² and sleep up to six, eight or ten people. Bathroom arrangements differ: Turtle Villa has ensuite bathrooms in all three bedrooms, while Gecco Villa's two lower rooms share a bathroom and its deck-level bedrooms have ensuite facilities. Eagle Villa places its four bedrooms in separate buildings, giving groups distinct sleeping spaces.

The number of bedrooms available is tied to the party size; any remaining rooms stay locked. Eagle Villa has a 14-metre infinity pool and a large wooden deck. Gecco and Turtle villas each have outdoor dining and seating areas by the pool, and both include a compact kitchen. Eagle Villa has a kitchen and living room, with a dishwasher and oven among its equipment. These differences give you a choice of villa size, bedroom count and outdoor setup.

The villas' facilities centre on outdoor living: each has a private pool, with terraces, balconies, patios, a garden and a sun terrace for spending time outside. Outdoor furniture and dining areas let you eat beside the pool, while views take in the sea and the water. The outdoor swimming pool and sun loungers add further places to relax in the sun.

For downtime, the property offers yoga classes, massage and spa facilities, along with cooking classes, snorkelling, diving and canoeing. A tour desk and shuttle service are available for organising outings around the island. Free private parking is available on site, and WiFi is free in public areas. Food services include room service, grocery deliveries, a snack bar and breakfast in the room; special-diet menus are available on request. The villas also have kitchens, minibars and tea- and coffee-making facilities.

Shark Bay & Sai Daeng is a hilly coastal stretch on the south-eastern side of Koh Tao, where small coves lie beneath the island's granite ridge. Villas Sabai Jai sits on the hillside, about 2.6 km from Koh Tao's centre. Sai Daeng Beach is 200 m away, while Shark Bay Beach is 500 m away. Guests describe the setting as peaceful, but note that steep hills make transport useful for trips to shops and the shore.

Koh Tao has no airport, so visitors arrive by boat at Mae Haad pier on the west coast. Lomprayah Koh Tao Pier is 2.7 km from the villa; pick-up truck taxis operate around the island, and Villas Sabai Jai also has a shuttle service. Free private parking is available on site for those travelling around the island by vehicle. The property asks you to share your expected arrival time in advance, and check-in is from 14:00 to 19:00. The steep approach makes ground transport practical when travelling with luggage or heading between the hillside and the coves.

The nearby beaches and bays are suited to coastal outings: Ao Thian is 650 m away, and Ao Leuk is 900 m from the villa. Cindy's Tower, 800 m away, and Sun Suwan Viewpoint, 900 m away, look out over the island's southern bays. Koh Tao's dive sites include Chumphon Pinnacle, Southwest Pinnacle, Sail Rock, White Rock, Japanese Gardens and the HTMS Sattakut wreck, with diving schools arranging trips around the island. The south and west coasts, including Shark Bay, are generally calmer from November to March; rough seas can disrupt ferry crossings from November to January.
