There is nothing quite like staying in a private villa in Thailand, with your own space, swimming pool, flexible meal times and staff to look after you. Fortunately Koh Samui is extremely well serviced with private property to rent. The mid-range options can offer great value for money when full and at off peak times, but for 5 star luxury expect to pay heavily.
A slightly cheaper alternative is to consider one of Koh Samui's many villa resorts, which offer all the amenities of a private villa in Thailand but just on a smaller scale and alongside a collection of similar properties. These developments tend to feel a bit more engineered than a private villa, but when well executed can offer an ideal compromise between hotel and private villa. |
