The Place Luxury Boutique Villas

This is one of the most amazing places we have ever stayed at. Super remote and private but also just a 12 minute walk or 5 minute motor bike ride to Sairee beach where a ton of restaurants and shops are. Our hosts Guy and Emily were very friendly and accommodating. They arranged pickup and drop off at the pier for us so we didn’t have to worry about taxis. We were also able to rent a motor bike directly from them, they provided a laundry service, and gave us menus from local restaurants that delivered food directly to the villa. We used the food delivery a few times so we could enjoy our amazing beach view and private pool deck area during meals. They made our stay in Ko Tao unforgettable, I couldn’t recommend this place more!

In awe from the minute we arrived at the villa! We were so impressed we had to pop a bubbly to celebrate finding this gem of a place. The villa is spotless, spacious, and the bathroom is unlike anything we've ever seen. The views from the private pool and deck are simply incredible. ||Guy has truly thought of everything you could possibly need - we were picked up from the pier, greeted on arrival, and given a full rundown of the amenities and services. They even had scooters available to rent directly from reception and recommended the best snorkelling spots on the island.||We wouldn't stay anywhere else!

The Place honestly feels like a hidden gem that we almost don't want to share! 🙈 But we would feel wrong not leaving a review because it truly deserve every bit of praise! This was hands down our favorite stay in Thailand and it completely exceeded our expectations! We were so happy with our experience, and it really set the bar high for the rest of our trip. Every thoughtful detail made this stay unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we felt so taken care of. The team arranged our transfer from the pier and greeted us with a sign with our name on it, with staff waiting to escort us both on arrival and departure. They made sure to coordinate with us in advance of our stay. Ksenia was amazing and walked us through everything upon arrival, with great recommendations that made our stay even better. Our pool villa was absolutely stunning. The views were unreal, the room was super clean, and everything felt calm, private, and thoughtfully designed to the detail. The bathroom had the prettiest setup and shower was lovely with some indoor plants. We were a little nervous about the hill and walk into town at first, but we did it a few times and it took about 10 to 15 minutes to get to Sairee Beach where the main hustle and bustle of town is. The walk back up was definitely a workout, but doable with some elbow grease! The Place also offers scooters at a very reasonable rate to get around, and as someone who used to be afraid of scooters, I can officially say I have been converted. Once we tried them, getting around town was WAY more easy and fun, and my feet were grateful. The hill is honestly worth it for the views alone, though, and being so close to town was perfect. There were some bugs, but that is just part of being in the jungle! The Place provides everything you need to keep them at bay, and the sounds of nature actually made it feel even more special. It was a bit rainy in the morning, but we ordered brunch delivery, listened to the rain and sounds of nature by the pool with a glass of wine and some card games until it passed. Food delivery from town was quick, easy, and affordable, which made relaxing that much easier. Guy, Ksenia, Emily, and the entire crew truly thought of everything. Their customer service was incredible, genuine, easy. We felt so well taken care of the entire time. This is the kind of service you simply do not get at big, commercial hotels. They made us feel completely at home and at peace. Communication was super convenient and quick through WhatsApp, which we really appreciated. Overall, we cannot recommend The Place and their team enough! When we return to Koh Tao, there is no question at all that this will be where we stay again! 🩷 Koh Tao now has a special place in our hearts! Thank you so much to the whole team!

We had the most wonderful time during our stay in Koh Tao! The Place Luxury Boutique Villas exceeded all our expectations — from the warm welcome to the small thoughtful touches throughout our stay. Location was a bit tricky for us, but the staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile.|Our room was spacious, clean, and beautifully designed, with a comfortable bed and a private pool overlooking the ocean — waking up to that view every morning was pure bliss! Overall -facilities were excellent, everything we needed for a quiet and relaxing island escape.|Koh Tao itself is stunning, but the amazing hospitality here truly made it unforgettable. We left feeling refreshed and already planning our next visit! 🌴💙

My mate and I spent five nights here. The accommodation is superbly equipped – it even had Netflix, although you should really be enjoying the magnificent view rather than Netflix. The manager/owner is called Guy and he is extremely friendly and helpful, as is the entire staff. The accommodation is in a great location. You can get anywhere on the island quickly, yet still enjoy peace and quiet. You're in the jungle, which means you might get visits from insects or geckos. Also, the power goes out from time to time on the island. If that's a problem for you, you should consider whether Koh Tao is the right place for you😉 All in all, highly recommended!

Amazing! Emily and Guy are great hosts and were always helpful throughout our stay. The rooms have everything you need for a comfortable stay and the view from the balcony is excellent. We also really enjoyed the privacy the accommodation offered as it feels like you’re hidden away in the jungle, despite only being a 15 minute walk to Sairee beach.

its really a 10/10.. even more.. u have all what u need and more. on top of that the best view for sunsets and the staff who treats u like a superstar.|i‘m glad i booked at the Place for my stay in ko tao! it made my stay more than perfect and i would definitely come again!

We spent 4 days at the Place in one of the lovely villas. We would have loved to extend our stay but had already a booking on another island. Highlights: > Great Service: Guy and his team organised all from pick-ups to scooter rental, snorkling gear or luggage service > Clear communication and great hospitality: Guy reached out before our stay and even organised yoga mats on short note > Luxury accommodation: the villas are high end bungalows with an amazing design and view > Great interior: Comfy beds, coffee Machine, mosquito repellent and food order menu’s > Overly quite and central: you can enjoy your time complete isolated and near the best restaurants in Koh Tao at the same time Recommend this place especially for couples. Thank you for having us and hope to stay here again.
