Sky 8 is a good answer to the question “where should we stay on Koh Phangan?”. 103 sqm across two levels, four guests, and a view over the Gulf of Thailand that sets the tone every morning.

Upstairs, the master bedroom with a king-size bed and en-suite. Downstairs, a second bedroom with twin beds and its own bathroom. Simple, comfortable, private.

Both rooms come with air-conditioning, ceiling fans, premium linens, rain showers and granite finishes.

The open-plan living space has a comfortable sofa, a 55″ Smart TV and sliding glass doors onto the pool deck. The kitchen is fully equipped with a 4-burner gas stove, microwave, oven, rice cooker and food mixer, for nights when you’d rather stay in.

After a day out, the infinity pool is waiting. The alfresco table for four is where the next day’s plan gets made.

Bay Villas takes care of everything on site: housekeeping, maintenance, front office and a daytime concierge who knows the island. Beach shuttle, scooter and car parking, in-villa spa and Flow Café delivery are all part of the deal. Private transfers get you in and out without the ferry-pier stress.

Beaches, waterfalls, night markets or nothing at all. Sky 8 is the base that makes the island easy.
