Koh Jum Beach Villas: The Best Places to Stay at Koh Jum

Koh Jum is easily my favorite island in Thailand. It’s the beach villas and chilled out accommodations that make it one of the best islands to visit. In life, it’s essential to stop and reflect from time-to-time, and sitting in a hammock, at a Koh Jum beach villa, overlooking the sea; it’s the perfect place, enabling you to really switch off and disconnect for a while.

Where To Stay in Koh Jum

There are two clear winners when it comes to choosing a place to stay on Koh Jum. Pick either the Koh Jum Beach Villas or The Jungle Hill Beach Bungalows, depending on your budget.

If your budget allows it, I recommend staying at the Koh Jum Beach Bungalows. If your budget is a little tighter then the Jungle Hill Resort offers similar hospitality at a lower price.

What’s The Accommodation on Koh Jum Like

The beach villas and bungalows found on Koh Jum are the perfect place to unwind. There are few places left in Thailand where you can still rent accommodation which is actually on the beach. There used to be a ton of beach villas cheaply available throughout Thailand during the 80’s, but as popularity for the islands grew. The smaller bungalows were mostly pushed out in favor of resorts. Somehow Koh Jum kept its authentic state.

These are the best places to stay on Koh Jum. There is a mix of beach villas and bungalows suitable for all price ranges. Plus a few budget accommodation options too.

Mid-Range Koh Jum Beach Villas

Jungle Hill Beach Bungalows

Jungle Hill Bungalows are my favorite place to stay, out of anywhere I’ve ever travelled to. Seriously, I cannot recommend this Koh Jum beach villa enough. Don’t expect too much from the rooms. There is no aircon, no TV, no kettle. The beds are a bit hard and the shower is luke-warm. But the thing that makes this hotel unique is the location.

The beach villas are old-school styled. Wooden huts right on the sea-front. Each hut has its own porch, large enough for two. And the huts have plenty of privacy. Hammocks are strung out on the porch that are so comforting they make you never want to leave. If I’m being honest I fell asleep in the hammock on the second night. The sound of the waves was so peaceful and waking up with the sunrise was bliss.

The Jungle Hill beach villas are not a cheap place to stay on Koh Jum, but the resort is still affordable. Prices for the Superior Bungalow with Sea View range between 900 to 1500 Baht depending on the season. But the hillside bungalows here can be rented for as little as 400 Baht, (check the current price here).

Jungle Hill really is the perfect place to stay in Koh Jum for anyone looking for mid range accommodation in a great location.

It’s a little cheaper than the ‘Koh Jum Beach Villas a Member of Secret Retreats’, but it’s the location that makes this resort unique.

Tip: If you decide to stay at Jungle Hill on Koh Jum, make sure to choose the bungalow with a seaview. This is the more expensive of the two room types, but you won’t regret it. The other bungalows are set on the backside of the hill and like I said, it’s the beach front location that makes this place great.

Koh Jum Hostel

This is the only hostel available on Koh Jum but the location is a little far from the pier. You’ll definitely need a scooter rental if you stay here. The rooms are clean and modern and the dormitory sleeps 10 guests. You can book a bed in the mixed dorm here for about 300 Baht a night. The hostel is a great place to stay for solo travelers looking to meet like minded others.

Mr. Boy Guesthouse

Ah Mr.Boy, a legend on Koh Jum Island. Mr.Boy’s guesthouse is small, with only three rooms. The guesthouse combines with a café built on a wooden pier, so you’ll have a view of the ocean from the window. This is the cheapest place on Koh Jum, if you don’t want to splash out on a private villa or a beach bungalow, but still want a private room. A room at Mr.Boy’s costs about 1,000 Baht a night. And even if you don’t stay here; I definitely recommend going to visit the café. You can even fish for squid off the pier.

Mr.Boy has minimal online presence so to book you’ll have to head to his café and book when you arrive on the island, or call on message using +66 61 229 3355.
