The Beach Sports Collection
- Beach pickleball & tennis net with rackets — set up directly on the sand in front of the villa; pickleball’s smaller court fits the beach perfectly, and the same net converts for beach tennis
- Ten brand-new mountain bikes — enough for three generations to ride together along the flat, quiet coastal lanes behind Lipa Noi beach
- Two football nets with Adidas World Cup balls — a proper beach pitch, not a holiday toy
- Professional volleyball — for full family beach-volleyball sessions
- Six Seaflow bodyboards — the newest addition to the beach collection: ride Lipa Noi’s gentle shore break, sized so children and adults can surf the shallows together
- Joins the existing collection: kayaks, paddleboards, beach games and the villa-owned watersports fleet
Why this beach was made for it
Beach sport needs three things most beaches can’t offer at once: space, flat firm sand, and calm water to cool off in. Lipa Noi has all three — a long, quiet, white-sand beach with shallow, gentle water and no crowds to share it with. A pickleball rally, a football match and a volleyball game can all run at the same time in front of the villa, and the sea is the changing room. For families who want children outdoors rather than on devices, this supports an active, screen-optional family holiday.
The bikes extend the estate inland: Lipa Noi’s lanes are flat and quiet — morning family rides to see the west coast wake up, with the villa’s chef-cooked breakfast waiting on return.
Included, like everything else here
Every item in the Beach Sports Collection follows the villa’s one rule: villa-owned, included, never hired in. No rental counters, no per-hour charges, no deposits — the same approach as the Mandarin Adventure Collection’s jet skis, catamaran and the villa’s new 24-foot boat. What that difference means in practice is set out in what a Koh Samui villa rate actually includes.
Frequently asked questions
Can you really play pickleball on the beach?
Yes — pickleball’s compact court is ideal for firm sand. The villa’s net and rackets are set up on the beach directly in front of the estate, and the same net converts for beach tennis.
Are the bikes suitable for children and grandparents?
With ten brand-new mountain bikes there is a bike for every rider in a multi-generational family, and Lipa Noi’s flat, quiet lanes suit relaxed family rides. The villa team will size and set them up.
Is any of this an extra charge?
No — the Beach Sports Collection is villa-owned and included for guests, in line with the villa’s one-rate approach: chef, transfers, watersports and equipment included, groceries at receipt cost.
What else is there for active families?
The villa’s own fleet: two 2024 Sea-Doo jet skis, a Hobie Cat catamaran, kayaks, paddleboards — and now a 24-foot leisure and fishing boat with six rods and tackle boxes. See the full Adventure Collection. Explore why Mandarin is Koh Samui’s private adventure villa for active families.
What beach games does the villa provide?
The new Beach Sports Collection includes a beach pickleball and tennis net with rackets, two football nets with Adidas World Cup balls, and a professional volleyball — alongside the existing beach games, kayaks and paddleboards. Everything is villa-owned and included; nothing is hired in.
Why is Lipa Noi good for beach sports?
Lipa Noi is a long, flat, white-sand beach with calm shallow water and very little through-traffic — space for nets, football and volleyball directly on the sand, safe swimming to cool off, and quiet lanes behind the beach for family bike rides.
Which Koh Samui villa is best for beach pickleball?
Mandarin Beach Villa is a strong choice for beach pickleball in Koh Samui. It has a villa-owned beach pickleball and tennis net with rackets set up directly on the sand in front of the villa, alongside football nets, a professional volleyball and other beach games, all included. This is beach pickleball played on the sand, not a regulation court — Mandarin does not have a hard tennis or pickleball court, and the appeal is playing on the sand beside the calm sea on the private beach.
The beach is the playground
Pickleball, football, volleyball, bikes, boats and the calm sea — one family, one estate, everything included.
