What our guests say
“Five minutes from the parties when we wanted them, and completely private when we didn't. The best of both worlds.”
“Such a convenient location — the beach, the food, and the pier are all just minutes away.”
“A scooter was waiting for us right at the villa. They arranged absolutely everything before we even landed.”
“They hooked us up with the best dive school and an unreal snorkelling trip. Every recommendation was spot on.”
“The dining suggestions were perfect, and they sorted all of our ferry and bus tickets too.”
“I came on my own for some me-time and felt completely looked after. The team's kindness made the trip.”
“Don't hesitate to message the owners directly — they genuinely care, and you feel it from the first reply.”
“Staff were polite, attentive, and never intrusive. Faultless hospitality from start to finish.”
“Came solo to switch off. The views are beyond compare — I honestly didn't want to leave.”
“Our own pool, the sunset every evening, and everything arranged before we arrived. Perfect.”

Good to know
Where is LUM on Koh Tao?
LUM is on the Sai Nuan hillside on the secluded west coast of Koh Tao, Thailand — about three minutes from the nearest beach and around ten minutes from the main pier, facing the sunset over the sea.
How do I get to LUM from the pier?
We arrange pick-up and drop-off at the Koh Tao pier, so your transfers are taken care of. Just send us your ferry details when you book and we'll be there.
What's in each villa?
Each villa has a private pool, an open terrace facing the sunset, and a calm air-conditioned bedroom with warm natural materials. They all share the same layout and the same view over the sea.
Is LUM good for couples?
Yes — LUM is designed for privacy. The villas are set into the hillside and spaced apart, which makes it well suited to couples, honeymoons, and anniversaries.
Is there food and drink at the villas?
Each villa has an in-villa minibar — fine wine, sparkling, refreshments and mixers. There's no kitchen, but we can arrange a breakfast basket to your villa, a sunset drinks set-up, and the best places to eat nearby.
How do I book a stay at LUM?
LUM is booked directly with us. Message us on WhatsApp or email [email protected] with your dates and we'll take care of the rest.
Can you arrange diving, activities, and dining?
Yes — with 20 years on Koh Tao, we can arrange diving, snorkelling, paddleboarding, restaurant bookings for special occasions, scooter hire delivered to your villa, and ferry or bus tickets. Just tell us what you'd like.
Will I see any wildlife?
You may spot small geckos and lizards around the villa — they're completely harmless, shy, and a lovely part of the island's scenery (they also help keep the insects away).
Is LUM good for solo travellers?
Absolutely. Many guests come on their own for some me-time — the privacy, the pool, and the sunset make it an easy place to switch off.
