Stay at Villa Baan Puri and indulge in kayaking, paddle boarding, football and even beach volleyball. The villa is just steps away from the beach, and you’ll be tempted to alternate seaside sports with sunbathing on the silky sand.
Want to venture out? Lipa Noi area offers a taste of the laid-back local Koh Samui lifestyle, with numerous rustic restaurants serving Thai and western cuisines. Koh Samui is also an exciting lifestyle destination with attractions such as the Mediterranean-style Nikki Beach Club.
