Koh Jum Beach Villas "A member of Secret Retreats"

Great place… great service …. Great experience….. 100% recommended

Very Chill beautiful resort. I booked this resort as part of my dream vacation for my 50th birthday. I was attracted to the beauty of the resort itself as well as the fact that they provided many tours through the resort. I was under the impression it would be an excellent place to stay, and do some great snorkeling, and some great tours this, however, this was to be my biggest disappointment about this place. When we got there we were told that really there was only one place that had fantastic snorkeling, and it was on a speedboat and would cost about $740 to go. I didn't mind paying that since it was a private tour on a speedboat. We had been on many tours at a previous location and we're really disappointed with the tour that they provided. On our tour we were given no guide that went in the water with us like we had on previous tours. The most disappointing thing is they provided us with no water and no beverages to drink even with lunch. Lunch was a very sad affair of only a small little cold chicken stirfry and some rice, not even a Coke, not even a water. We were really given no guide just a driver who drove us out to snorkeling areas and told us to snorkel which we did on our own. Overall for what we paid for this tour it was a very disappointing experience, and both of us felt that it wasn't as great as the tours we've been on previously at another location. The other tours we were on we were given a guide that went snorkeling with us in the water to point out things we may have missed on our own as well as a full cooler of beverages that had water, iced tea and Coke. The main reason I wanted to stay at this resort was because I thought that they had these fantastic tours that that was really not the case. They only have one location that they said had great snorkeling, and the snorkeling at these locations I would give about a 7 out of 10. The quality is snorkeling isn't their fault, but the quality of tour is and in my opinion, it wasn't good. The rooms themselves are beautiful w a private pool that is very small but nice. The rooms are open air during the day. I was worried about mosquitos because I was bitten badly at our previous location and I was pleased that I was not bitten. Rooms are completely open air, rooms are completely open during the day and they are closed up at night. I was very glad we had a pool villa w ocean view. I would not hesitate to book this room category. The food was really good. I enjoyed the room service being no additional charge. We enjoyed many meals in our villa and that was awesome. Many reviews said that the food was expensive. I didn't find that at all. I found the food to be very reasonably priced being that it's at a resort. You could eat dinner for two for 45 American dollars that to me is a very good deal when you're at an ocean resort. This resort is very peaceful place very relaxing. There isn't a ton of stuff to do outside of just lounging around going to the pool or hanging out at the

We travelled to Koh Jum Beach Villas in April 2024 for 5 nights. Myself, my wife and 3 kids (boys 13,11, 9) and another family. Koh Jum BV was an unforgettable experience - from the private villas, the onsite farm, yoga by the beach to the private wine room. The food in the restaurant was amazing - the nightly specials took us on a world tour (with a local slant) over the 5 days. David in the bar and restaurant runs a tight ship and was full of insights and advice but he operated in a relaxed manner which added greatly to the experience. Marc was full of helpful tips and the entire staff couldn't have been nicer or done more to ensure a brilliant holiday experience.

I really dont know how to start this review as I cant just simply echo the words of everyone else - even though its all true. Yes, KJBVs are a truly stunning and luxurious experience, way, way beyond our expectations. But what no-one writes about is the way you begin to "feel" the place. The peace. The quiet. The solitude....oh my... day by day it seeps into your very being until you reach this zen like state and feel total contentment. Visit for a couple of days and have the WOW experience. Stay for a week or two and you will be a different person at the end of it. It gets deep under the skin. The natural beauty of the place is breathtaking - one moment you're in Thailand, the next the Caribbean, then the Maldives, then Thailand once again. A fusion moment at every step, and each step is like walking through a film set. We met Ken, the owner, and some of his family, and he proudly showed us the new forward steps he was taking as an eco resort. we were impressed. The management team seemed to gel with both the staff and the guests and it certainly seemed like they were one big family, and more than happy to make YOU happy. Thank you all, especially David and his remarkable team of smiles. So. If you enjoy quiet conversations, glorious, glorious sunsets, long, blissful beach strolls, and feel your very soul refreshed, then just GO. I'm so glad we did.

The most wonderful place to stay. We chose Koh Jum Villa because of the promise of the peaceful location, the attention to detail and the importance of environmental and ethical travel the resort commit to, and the experience did not disappoint, in fact it was better in real life. The villas are spacious, beautifully crafted, feel authentic, private and at one with the surroundings. The food at the main restaurant was delicious and varied, same with the drinks served. The staff could not do enough for us, and the range of activities allowed us to do as much or as little as we wanted to in terms of experiencing the area. We took a private boat trip for the day, and it was he most magic way to see some incredible sight, but done at our own pace. We also had a cooking class which was great fun. We will definitely visit again, and the memories of our visit will always be a highlight for us. Thank you for a wonderful holiday x

This place is like heaven on earth: Beautiful and lush surroundings, delicious food, so quiet and private, large villas and filled with staff who really enjoys working here. Our family of five including three teenagers stayed for 8 nights and none of us wanted to leave. We spent the days swimming, reading, biking, eating, fishing and having LOTS of massages by magic Arun and her team. We will definitely return to KJBV one day! Thank you to Mark, David and the entire staff, you made our stay truly wonderful.

Does a quiet island, a luxury villa with seaview, his and her outdoor showers, special dining, and drinks designed by a sommelier sounds like your cup of tea, then Kom Jum villas is the place to visit. Do not be put off by the ferry: the combined taxi and ferry journey takes just over an hour from Krabi airport. It is worth every minute.
