Had an amazing time at this place. Based on my experience, this is the best homestay villa in Setiu Terengganu. Period. I love the sea-view minimalist glassy villas, but the location is perfect, a quiet beach makes it ideal for chilling time with your loved ones and the close distance to Redang Island (40-minute boat ride). This place is ideal for small to medium families, or you can book all 4 villas that can fit a family of 14 pax. This place is clean, has wifi and gives you the modern chic vibe, making it the coolest private villa in Terengganu.

KatSetiu Villa is the perfect place to stay if you're visiting Setiu! I fell in love with the area even more, especially staying in such a comfortable and beautiful villa. It's located right by a beautiful, clean beach with soft sand – 'Siyes tak tipu'. The hospitality was exceptional, with the owner and staff being so warm and friendly. The best part, they even went above and beyond by organizing hiking and waterfall trips for us. It was an unforgettable experience, and I highly recommend KatSetiu Villa to anyone looking for both relaxation and adventure!

Heaven on earth! For a peaceful and relaxing beach holiday, KatSetiu Villas should be on your bucket list. Amazing view of the South China Sea and surprisingly clean and quiet beach. Modern villa was comfortable and complete with amenities and personalised services by a small team of host and team. Breakfast was yummy with choice of local food and even western dish.

Katsetiu is very quiet, peaceful and serene. Its a home away from home. I’ve been to Perhentian and Redang, and didn’t expect the water here in Setiu to be as clear and clean. The locals take pride in maintaining this hidden gem. I especially enjoyed the sunrise and when things got a little hot the villa provided a cozy and cool retreat from the heat. Love the luxurious decor too
