OUR WHY?
Sway Villa is a family business born from our love for NST, travel, and discovering hidden gems. There's nothing quite like having a local or friend reveal the secrets of a new place—the thrill of the unexpected, paired with insider knowledge, promises an unforgettable experience. Whether it's a new flavor, an unmarked hike to a stunning viewpoint or waterfall, a side street with the best noodles, or an art street with a dive bar—these shortcuts transport you to another world.
Though nestled between the famous Thai destinations of Koh Samui, Khao Sok National Park, and Railay, Krabi, our province of NST remains largely undiscovered by foreigners. Millions pass through, unaware of the untouched natural beauty and cultural richness that lies just off the main path.
Over the years, we've had the privilege of sharing NST’s unique charm with friends and travelers, who all say the same thing: “This place is special; we’ve never seen anything like it in our travels; this is exactly what we were looking for!”
To showcase NST’s dramatic landscapes and vibrant culture to those seeking something different, we created Sway Villa. Our focus is on offering a peaceful, intimate atmosphere for friends and families, unlike the busy resorts on overcrowded islands. Sway Villa is a tranquil, private haven—perfect for small groups to unwind and explore our area together. After all, exploring new spaces with loved ones is always better.
WHO ARE WE?
Our story bridges America and Thailand. We met 15 years ago while working as an English Program Director and a Law Professor and Director at Walailak University. Since then, NST has become our beloved home.
The allure of NST’s beauty and serenity captivated us with its untouched landscapes, diverse ecosystems, and rich cultural heritage. The region’s laid-back tropical vibe and the genuine warmth of its people make it a truly one of a kind.
We first created Okoboozy Bar at Bandit Beach, a vibrant bamboo cocktail bar with beach games and a lively atmosphere for locals, expats, and teachers. However, as our family grew and our love for this area deepened, we envisioned a more permanent beachside retreat—a family beach home where we could not only reside but also share our passion for NST with guests, offering them an exceptional experience.
After three years of meticulous design and hands-on development, we transformed Bandit Beach into Sway Villa. This isn’t just our family’s sanctuary; it’s a private retreat that blends luxury with personalized hospitality. When you reach out to us, you’re connecting with locals who are passionate about the easygoing beach life and eager to share NST’s finest.
Sway Villa offers more than just a luxurious stay—it provides a serene experience in an unspoiled part of Thailand that few travelers get to see. We take pride in sharing this special place with guests from around the world, inviting you to discover the natural beauty and charm of NST, enhanced by the exceptional warmth and amenities of Sway Villa.
