Nestled in the Andaman Sea, Koh Jum is a hidden gem where local communities have preserved the essence of a traditional Thai island. This tranquil destination provides a refreshing contrast to its more well-known neighbours, Koh Lanta and
Koh Phi Phi, which have been significantly shaped by the demands of mass tourism.
Just thirty minutes by boat from Krabi, it offers sensational beaches and an ultra-relaxing atmosphere. With relatively low visitor numbers, it is a perfect choice for travellers who want to escape the modern world for a while.
Koh Jum’s coast is dotted with colourful long-tail boats which are still used for fishing. Nature lovers will be enchanted by the lush, unspoiled forests and mangroves that teem with wildlife. And on a tuk-tuk tour through the island’s villages, visitors can come face to face with the famed Chao Ley sea gypsies and engage with the unfailingly friendly, kind-hearted people.
Koh Jum Beach Villas is a boutique resort on the island and part of the Secret Retreats group, who are known for the small, hidden jewels they select and nurture. There are 23 individually designed villas on the resort’s 700 metre beach or tucked away in the tropical gardens. Gold certified by Travelife, the villa sets the highest possible standards for sustainable barefoot luxury.
