ZEN Villa

Zen Villas is a six-villa freehold development by Karma Villas, set on a hillside above Zen Beach on Koh Phangan's west coast, in the Srithanu area roughly 5.5 km north of Thong Sala. Completed in the first quarter of 2026, the project comprises two villa types built across two floors.

Type A villas offer three bedrooms and three bathrooms on a 340 sqm plot, with 201.44 sqm of built-up space split between an 83.74 sqm first floor and a 117.70 sqm ground floor. Type B villas sit on a larger 400 sqm plot, with 245.60 sqm of built-up area across a 92 sqm first floor and a 153.60 sqm ground floor.

Each villa is designed for privacy, with its own pool, tropical garden and a sea-facing outlook over palm groves toward the water. Prices for the six units are set at 19 million baht. Srithanu is known on the island for its laid-back, wellness-oriented community, with cafes, yoga studios and small shops within reach, making Zen Villas a fit for buyers seeking a quieter, nature-focused base on Koh Phangan rather than a central resort strip.

Zen Villas comprises six standalone villas built across two configurations, both arranged over two floors.

• Type A: 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 340 sqm plot, 201.44 sqm built-up area (83.74 sqm first floor, 117.70 sqm ground floor)

• Type B: 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 400 sqm plot, 245.60 sqm built-up area (92 sqm first floor, 153.60 sqm ground floor)

Facilities and finish

Each villa sits within its own landscaped tropical garden and has a private pool, an outdoor terrace with sun loungers, panoramic windows to the main living space, and parking for two cars. Private access roads lead to each villa, the grounds are lit for evening use, and the build uses eco-conscious materials suited to the island's climate.

Zen Villas stands on a hillside above Zen Beach in the Srithanu area of Koh Phangan, roughly 5.5 km north of Thong Sala, the island's main town and ferry pier. Zen Beach adjoins Sri Thanu Beach and Chao Pao Beach and lies close to Haad Yao Beach a little further north, a stretch of coastline known for calm water and some of the island's best sunset views.

Srithanu has built a reputation as Koh Phangan's wellness hub, with a concentration of yoga studios, cafes, small restaurants and shops within a short drive of the villas. Malibu Beach, further north around Chaloklum Bay, is a further option for a day out. Buyers wanting the island's well-known party beach at Haad Rin should note it sits on the opposite side of Koh Phangan, a significant drive across the island rather than a short trip.

• Buyers wanting private, low-density living: with only six villas on the development, this suits those seeking a quiet setting away from Koh Phangan's busier resort strips.

• Long-stay residents and remote workers: the three-bedroom layouts, private pools and Srithanu's cafe and yoga-studio scene suit those planning extended stays or a semi-permanent base on the island.

• Families or small groups sharing one property: three en-suite bedrooms per villa work well for a family or a small group of friends buying together.

• Buyers who accept island trade-offs: Koh Phangan is reached only by boat, on-site management at a six-villa development is inherently more limited than at a larger branded resort, and the island's nightlife around Haad Rin sits a considerable distance away. Those wanting hotel-style services on demand, or a base close to the Full Moon Party beach, should weigh this before buying.

The six villas at Zen Villas are priced at 19,000,000 THB. Ownership is structured as freehold for a Thai company or Thai nationals, as is standard for detached villa land in this part of Thailand; foreign buyers typically need to structure a purchase accordingly and should take independent Thai legal advice before committing. The development, completed in 2026, comprises two villa types ranging from 201.44 sqm to 245.60 sqm of built-up area on plots of 340 sqm and 400 sqm.

Koh Phangan's tourism economy is well established, built around its beaches, wellness scene and its Full Moon Party events, and Srithanu in particular attracts a steady flow of longer-stay visitors drawn to its yoga and cafe culture. This supports underlying demand for private villa accommodation on the island. BestBKKCondos does not quote an indicative yield for this project.

Risks to weigh

• Koh Phangan's visitor numbers are seasonal, with quieter periods outside the December-to-March high season and around the monsoon months.
• As a six-villa development, Zen Villas lacks the scale of a branded resort, and on-site management and rental infrastructure are likely to be more limited than at a larger project.
• The island is accessible only by boat, which adds a layer of logistics for owners not resident in Thailand.
• Resale liquidity for standalone villas on Koh Phangan tends to be lower than for condominiums in Bangkok or Phuket, given the smaller buyer pool.
