Monkey Flower Villas

Great villa, so peaceful and quiet but just a short ride away from the action. They give you a private phone to call and they can take you round the island (as part of the package) and answer your questions and help with anything you need. Food delivery options were amazing so even though you’re not super close to restaurants they can bring it to you. Clean with everything you need, coffee machine, microwave all kitchen utensils. They even left some beers in the fridge for us to drink :) thank you!

After extensive research I was so glad monkey flower villas were available for our stay. We had villa 3 the smallest villa they have but still perfectly formed! Everything is so clean and welcoming, with a lovely bathroom built into the rocks. Nice to have fresh coffee beans to grind in the morning whilst sat taking in the sea view from the pool area. Lovely pool to cool off in. Nothing was too much trouble for Muhammad or Steve. Having a personal taxi service 24/7 was amazing and meant that you could enjoy the busier areas, but then be whisked back to the peace and tranquility of the villa. Would definitely recommend staying here to anyone, it was fantastic. In fact we stayed another couple of nights it was that good!

I can’t rate this accommodation highly enough. We stayed in House number 1, with infinity Pool. The pictures do not exaggerate, the view is stunning. Kids could not stop jumping from the roof to the pool and had a great time. The lower apartment is huge and the natural rock bathroom quite the showstopper. Upstairs master bedroom has floor to ceiling windows for a mega night time view. Location is out of town which is nice for a family, you get a bird’s eye view of the nightly fire show on the beach. Only a few minutes into town with the provided taxi service (Thankyou Steve!). Air conditioned bedrooms helped break down the heat of the day. Mohammad and Steve could not do enough to make the stay amazing for us.

Monkey Flower Villas – A Hidden Paradise on Koh Tao Our family of four adults recently stayed at the Bougainvillea Villa at Monkey Flower Villas, and from start to finish, the experience was exceptional. Booking the accommodation was seamless, and finding Steve, our ever-attentive driver, at the wharf was easy—he made us feel welcome right from our first encounter. We were also fortunate to meet Lincoln, the owner, who greeted us with such genuine excitement about sharing his dream with us. Upon arrival, the amenities and views exceeded our expectations. We were all impressed with how the villa was built into the natural surroundings of the mountain—the large boulders featured in the bedrooms and bathroom added a unique charm that truly made the space feel special. The villa had everything we needed for our stay on this beautiful island. The rooms were spacious and the beds comfortable. While both rooms had TVs, we didn’t find the need to use them. My son stayed in the loft and loved the ambiance and personal space it provided. The bathroom was generously sized and featured a great shower. The kitchen was well-stocked with cutlery, crockery, tea, coffee, a microwave, and a fridge pre-filled with water, beer, and soft drink (soda) to get us through the first night. There were also menus for local restaurants—we tried one for breakfast and thoroughly enjoyed sitting outside in the garden to eat. The pool was an absolute dream, offering a view to die for. Whether it was an early morning swim or a late-night dip, the fact that there was no curfew—as there often is in other accommodations—was a real treat. The Wi-Fi was fast and reliable throughout our stay. The team behind Monkey Flower Villas was highly professional. The rooms were always spotless, and the gardens beautifully maintained. Mo was fantastic with suggestions for our island adventures, but the highlight of our stay was undoubtedly Steve, our driver. Available day or night, he transported us wherever we needed to go, always with a smile. His knowledge of the island, its history, and his charming, funny, and respectful nature made him an unforgettable part of our holiday. We’ve already started planning a return to Monkey Flower Villas and Koh Tao, as we know there’s more to explore—and there’s simply no other place we’d want to stay than this little slice of paradise.

Monkey Flower Villas is unlike anywhere else I’ve stayed. Nestled right in the middle of the jungle, the location adds an adventurous and peaceful vibe you won’t find in typical resorts. You wake up surrounded by nature, with amazing views, and still feel completely comfortable and taken care of. I arranged a birthday surprise for my wife, and Muhammad—the villa manager—went above and beyond. He helped organize decorations and a cake ahead of our arrival, and handled everything smoothly and professionally. His calm, friendly attitude made the whole experience easy and stress-free. Also worth mentioning is Steve, the on-call driver. Having 24/7 transport was a game-changer on Koh Tao, and Steve was always ready with a smile, local tips, and zero complaints—no matter where or when we wanted to go. The villa itself was clean, spacious, and full of character, built right into the natural rocks and landscape. You get the feeling of being somewhere truly special—private and immersive, but with all the comforts you need. Highly recommended if you’re looking for something a bit off the beaten path with top-notch service.
