CYAN Jasmine Pool Villa - Fisherman's Village is in Bophut, a former fishing village on the coast of Koh Samui, the second-largest island in Thailand after Phuket. The area keeps a village feel, with a walking street and a food market close by, and it suits visitors who want a quieter base than the busy beach strip of Chaweng.

The Fisherman's Village Bophut Walking Street is 1.1 km from the villa, and the Samui Elephant Sanctuary Bophut is 400 m away. Haad Bophut beach lies 1.6 km away, while the Big Buddha, one of the island's best-known landmarks, is further along the coast. Samui Airport, 3.2 km away, is the only airport on the island, so arrivals by plane need no boat, and the villa is reached from it by road.

A good first day could start with the Bophut Food Market and the walking street, then a visit to the Samui Elephant Sanctuary Bophut before time on Haad Bophut beach. Chaweng Beach, 3.9 km away, is the island's best-known beach and the place to go for a livelier evening. Free parking is available at the villa, so a car makes it easier to reach the Big Buddha and the rest of the island.
