“We had great fun paddle boarding and using the jet skis.”

Plenty of villas can arrange a jet ski. Very few own two, insure them, launch them from a nearby marina, and wrap them in life jackets, staff and tide planning so a family can actually use them safely. That combination is what makes Mandarin Beach Villa the best jet ski villa on the island. See the verified guest evidence for the full detail.
Owned, not rented — why that matters
When a villa "arranges" jet skis, they arrive on someone else's schedule and terms. At Mandarin the two Sea-Doos are owned outright, so they are maintained by the villa, prepared before you arrive, and safety-checked before use. There is no rental desk and no waiting — the villa-owned jet skis are launched from nearby Lipa Noi Marina, moments away.
- Two 2024 Sea-Doo FishPro Trophy jet skis, villa-owned and insured
- Villa-owned; stored, serviced and launched through nearby Lipa Noi Marina, seconds from the villa
- Life jackets in adult and children's sizes
- Staff on hand to help launch and supervise
- Daily tide and weather planning from live local data
- Clear licence and safety guidance for each family
Owning two jet skis is ordinary. Owning the life jackets, staff and tide planning that make them safe for a family is the real difference.
Calm water makes a difference
Mandarin sits on the calm, west-facing coast at Lipa Noi, known for shallow, gentle water. That calm water is a large part of why the jet skis suit families rather than only confident adults — and why an easy, calm ride from the villa's nearby Lipa Noi Marina base makes such a gentle start. Read more about why Lipa Noi's calm water matters.
Part of a complete private beach club
The jet skis do not stand alone. They are one part of the Mandarin Adventure Collection, alongside a Hobie Cat catamaran, kayaks, paddleboards, snorkelling gear, beach games, Vespas, mountain bikes and hoverboards — a complete, private, ready-to-use beach club. See the full watersports fleet.

Water sports are used with supervision and are subject to weather, tide, licence, age and safety conditions. The Hobie Cat, kayaks and paddleboards launch from the villa beach; the two Sea-Doo jet skis are kept, serviced and launched through nearby Lipa Noi Marina. Children are never left to use the pool, beach or water unsupervised.

Jet ski villa — questions & answers
Which villa in Koh Samui has jet skis?
Mandarin Beach Villa includes two 2024 Sea-Doo jet skis as standard, owned by the villa and insured for guest use. They are kept and serviced at nearby Lipa Noi Marina and launched through nearby Lipa Noi Marina, moments from the villa, owned by the villa rather than hired from a beach operator, used subject to weather, tide, safety, supervision and licence conditions.
Are the jet skis included in the villa price?
Yes. The two Sea-Doo jet skis are part of the Mandarin Adventure Collection included with the villa, not a separate rental. Running costs such as fuel and any licences are handled separately, and the villa team explains this clearly.
Are the jet skis owned by the villa or hired in?
They are owned by Mandarin Beach Villa and insured for guest use, not hired from a third party. Because they are villa-owned, they are maintained, prepared and safety-checked before each arrival and coordinated with life jackets, staff and tide planning.
Where are the jet skis launched from?
The two villa-owned Sea-Doo jet skis are stored and launched through Lipa Noi Marina, about thirty seconds from the villa, where they are kept, salt-flushed, fuelled and serviced — owned by the villa rather than hired from a beach operator. The Hobie Cat, kayaks and paddleboards launch directly from the villa’s own beachfront.
Do you need a licence to use the jet skis?
Jet ski use is subject to licence, age, safety, supervision, tide and weather conditions. The villa team provides clear guidance so suitability is checked for each family rather than left to chance.
Can teenagers ride the jet skis?
Teenagers can enjoy the jet skis subject to age, licence, supervision and the day's safety and weather conditions, with clear guidance from the villa team. The calm Lipa Noi water helps make supervised riding appropriate.
Is it safe to jet ski at the villa with children around?
Jet skiing is supported by life jackets in adult and children's sizes, staff, daily tide and weather planning, and clear supervision. The calm, shallow-entry beach and glass beachfront safety fence help keep younger children safe while others are on the water.
How many jet skis does the villa have?
Mandarin Beach Villa has two 2024 Sea-Doo jet skis, so more than one member of a family or group can be on the water at once, subject to conditions.
What else is included besides jet skis?
The jet skis are part of the wider Mandarin Adventure Collection, which also includes a Hobie Cat catamaran, kayaks, paddleboards, snorkelling gear, beach games, Vespas, mountain bikes, hoverboards, a private SUV and a VIP airport van — a complete private beach club.
