Verdict
BuBu Villa is the villa sister of BuBu Resort, about 500 m along Long Beach at its southern end, run by the same company.
It has 18 villas: Garden Villas and Private Pool Villas of 56 m², and Family Villas of 84 m² for up to four. Website rates include breakfast and an evening cocktail with canapés. Reception is open from 7.30 am to 10.30 pm, and cards are accepted. In November 2026 it scored 9.1 on Agoda.
The catch is the terms and the boat. BuBu does not allow any change or cancellation except a guest-name change, and a no-show forfeits the full payment, so take travel insurance. Its boat costs more than double the shared speedboat. Wi-Fi covers the lobby and selected areas only. Both BuBu properties close from 1 November to 28 February.
Good for
Couples and families who want a villa on Long Beach without sleeping in the middle of it.
Not for
Anyone whose plans might change, or who wants the cheaper shared boat included.
