A five-bedroom beachfront villa opening straight onto Laem Samrong beach on Koh Samui’s tranquil Bophut shore — sweeping sea views through a private, secure beach gate, a 16-metre saltwater infinity pool with a swim-up bar, and four sea-view master suites with Jacuzzi bathrooms. Calm, British-designed interiors and a full team led by a Thai chef.

Step through a private, secure beach gate and the sand is yours — this five-bedroom villa sits right on the turquoise water of the quiet Laem Samrong shore, every space turned to the sea and the islands beyond. Five en-suite bedrooms are elegantly furnished and full of light. Four are sea-view master suites with double king beds and en-suite bathrooms fitted with Jacuzzis; the fifth is a children’s room with two single beds that join into a king, and its own bathroom — a relaxed retreat for younger guests. The interiors are the work of a British designer alongside local artisans: high-quality Jim Thompson textiles, natural materials and a restrained, neutral palette that lets the turquoise of the sea become the colour of the room. Indoor and outdoor living flow together, with natural light and breezes throughout. Outdoors, a 16-metre saltwater infinity pool with a swim-up bar anchors the terrace, with daybeds and lounging beside the sand. The villa is fully staffed — including a wonderful Thai chef — with direct, private access to Laem Samrong beach.
