Koh Samui Island lies in the Gulf of Thailand off the eastern coast Thailand's southern provinces. Surrounded by clear seas and golden beaches, Samui is a breathtaking holiday destination. The island has always been a pinnacle in SE Asia for contemporary, modern beach villa architecture and the design quality of recently built villas continues to build upon that reputation.
Luxury beach villas are dotted around the 60km coastline of Samui and the majority of these villas are in quieter, tranquil locations, away from the touristic centers of the island's north east. However, a good choice of beach villas is still found in the busy north east of the island.
Due to the high cost of beach land, most private Koh Samui beach villas are large properties with at least four bedrooms. Two and three bedroom villas are still available though most of these smaller villas are part of exclusive beach villa developments and resorts. Again, there are exceptions to this rule and if you book early enough you should be able to find a suitable two or three bedroom property.
The design of most Koh Samui beach villas is quite similar with a large pavilion towards the rear of the property and several smaller pavilions build between the beach and the rear pavilion.
Beach quality can vary around the island, so make sure you ask questions about quality of sand, depth of water and height of seasonal tides before you book.
Beach villa rental costs in Koh Samui are relatively low when compared to beach villas in other tropical SE Asian destinations. A luxurious 2-bedroom might cost you around $500 - $800 USD per night whereas a 5-bedroom would set you back about $800 - $1500 USD per night. For those on an unlimited budget, a truly luxurious seven or eight bedroom villa could cost upwards of $7000 USD per night.
