Koh Samui Villas

With its white sandy beaches and an appealing choice of resort villas to choose from, Koh Samui is the ideal setting for a tropical island vacation.  Although only 240 square kilometres in size, this small island in the Gulf of Thailand has developed an international reputation as a world class holiday destination.  

Villa resorts afford guests privacy and exclusivity that guarantee a memorable stay. Especially on Koh Samui, where the standards have been set high in terms of comfort and style. From ultra-modern contemporary beach resorts to hillsides retreats set amongst natural rock formations and waterfalls, there's something something to suit every taste. Price tags also vary, and many resorts are able to adjust their rates depending on the number of bedrooms required. Large groups, families and corporate clients can reap the benefits of having everyone in one location, and couples can find true privacy in their romantic retreats.  Guests holidaying alone can seek peace and solitude away from the bustle of the main tourist centres. But convenience is never far away and guests can enjoy five star services provided by a team of experts standing by to make the holiday run smoothly.

Skilled chefs prepare Thai and western fare and concierge staff help organise excursions, hire cars and baby sitters. Many resorts also have onsite spas, or visiting massage therapists to ease away any tension and stress.  Housekeepers take care of the cleaning and laundry and security guards keep the villas secure and the guests relaxed and in holiday mode. Infinity swimming pools and indoor- outdoor living spaces invite guests to relax and enjoy ocean views, tropical gardens and landscaped lawns. Small terraces and private bedrooms allow guests to retreat from the group atmosphere and come back refreshed to enjoy the fine meals served in the restaurant or in the privacy of their room. Stunning Asian artifacts, paintings and sculptures are complimented by cosy furnishings and stylish interiors. 

Part of the joy when staying at a villa resort such as Zara Beach Resort in Lamai, includes visiting some of Samui's renowned attractions. Island tours generally include a visit to the golden temple at Big Buddha, climbing the  island's waterfalls and taking boat trips to the tiny outlying islands. Visitors can also easily travel to the main tourist centres for shopping, nightclubs and parties, or even venture to the quieter bays like Fisherman's Village in Bophut for romantic beachside dining and an evening stroll.

Elephant trekking, scuba diving and snorkelling can all be easily arranged, along with four wheel drive tours exploring the jungles found in the interior of the island.  For many guests, simply sitting by the private pool in their own exclusive villa is more than enough. With a team of staff standing by, who could blame them for spending their holiday in blissful solitude?
