Choeng Mon 4075
4 bedrooms – sleeps 8
Overlooking a beautiful bay in the Gulf of Thailand, this Bond-esque villa is just a short drive from Koh Samui’s international airport. Cool and contemporary, it boasts a striking geometric design and clean minimalist styling throughout.
Floor-to-ceiling windows provide panoramic sea views from almost every room, and the home’s open-air concept merges indoor/outdoor living seamlessly. Home comforts are covered, too – it has a plush home theater, a family game room and a huge infinity pool that spills into the bay beyond.
Immaculately presented terraces are perfectly positioned for sunsets, plus there’s a floating daybed where you can sleep, read, relax and even do yoga without leaving the pool. If you’re keeping up your fitness regime there’s a fully-equipped gym as well as communal tennis courts that are free to use.
Other inclusive perks are breakfast, airport transfers, a private chef and daily housekeeping.
Chaweng 4231
4 bedrooms – sleeps 8
Designed to take full advantage of the enchanting views this multi-level mansion is an architectural masterpiece. Sleek and inventive, it features three shell-shaped pavilions set around a huge saltwater infinity pool.
The main pavilion is vast and features soaring ceilings and plenty of windows. Crisp white stairs lead the way from the lounge to the kitchen and dining mezzanine. While the design is modern and minimalist, accents of warm wood and natural stone keep the atmosphere intimate and inviting.
The outdoor areas are especially expansive with a 60 sq m pool, multiple terraces and sprawling gardens that are home to swaying fruit palms. There are numerous spots where you can kick back and relax whether you want to snooze on daybed, sunbathe around the pool or recline on a deck chair with a cocktail in hand.
Chaweng 4231 is completely private, however just minutes away is the buzzing resort of Chaweng with its golden beach and famous Green Mango Strip where most of the area’s restaurants, bars and nightspots are located.
Nathon 5134
5 bedrooms – sleeps 10
Perfect for families, this quirky property is more like a holiday resort than a self-contained villa. It has a plush kids’ den with bunk beds, bean bags and a gaming station, plus tropical gardens equipped with a trampoline, treehouse and zip line. There’s also a private gym and an expansive pool with a paddling area for little ones.
Again, there are plenty of windows – in fact, the entire front of the home slides open to create a wonderful open-air space. There’s also a stylish living area with a sunken lounge, along with a spacious dining room, and a state-of-the-art kitchen with a breakfast bar. The home also has an outdoor kitchen, a poolside lounge and dining sala overlooking the sea.
With airport transfers, breakfast, housekeeping and a private chef included, the living really is easy at this luxury villa. A babysitting service is also available, as is a chauffeured SUV for days trips. Just a short drive away is the 18-hole championship course at the Santiburi Golf Club (an essential stop on the PGA Asian Tour for many years).
Lipa Noi 7032
7 bedrooms – sleeps 14
Nestled on the beach and with views of the Five Islands nature reserve, this high-end home is a stress-free sanctuary away from the tourist hubbub. Its three pavilions are built around two infinity pools where you can swim, sunbathe and enjoy cocktails as the sun sets over the Gulf of Thailand.
Sleek stone floors combine with warm wood and natural stone wood in a Thai twist on contemporary design. The house is equipped with airy open-plan living areas, a plush TV room and 7 sumptuously decorated bedrooms. Outside, you’ll find expansive terraces, a beachside lounge and a dining area with a bar and BBQ.
To the rear are lush palm-fringed gardens dotted with serene water features, while the front lawn leads directly onto charming Lipa Noi beach where you can laze on powdery sands, paddle in the shallows or try out a wide range of water sports.
Choeng Mon 5267
5 bedrooms – sleeps 10
Situated in Koh Samui’s most exclusive estate, this spectacular villa was designed with outdoor living in mind.
The huge infinity pool acts as a natural focal point, fringed by a wide sun deck, rocky outcrops and bright open-air living spaces. There’s even a large roof terrace to enjoy; it offers 180-degree views of the Gulf of Thailand. Those same views can also be enjoyed from the kitchen, lounge and bedrooms, thanks to the many floor-to-ceiling windows.
When you’re done with sunbathing you can stay entertained in the villa’s state-of-the-art movie theater, or work up a sweat at the all-weather floodlit tennis court in the grounds. Luxury sailing boats and catamarans are available to hire. A full complement of masseurs, yoga, pilates and Muay Thai boxing instructors is also on call.
