A clifftop estate of Thai-roofed pavilions on Samui's north-west tip at Laem Noi, stepping down to a semi-private beach — a 32-metre infinity pool with built-in jacuzzi, a clubhouse with cinema, wine cellar, gym and spa, and a floodlit tennis court. Seven en-suite bedrooms, a villa manager and private chef.

Set into the headland at Laem Noi on Koh Samui's north-west coast, this estate is built as a cluster of pavilions under steep, traditional Thai roofs, each turned to the sea and the islands of the marine park beyond. Steps lead down through tamarind trees to a semi-private golden-sand beach with loungers and a massage bed — and the sunsets here are among the island's best. Life centres on the clubhouse: a vaulted lounge and dining room with a 16-seat round teak table, a show kitchen, and a broad timber deck around a 32-metre freeform infinity pool with an eight-person jacuzzi set into one end. Below the deck sit an open-air massage sala and a barbecue sala seating eight. Inside, there is a private cinema and games room for twelve, a mezzanine with a billiards table and library, a stocked wine cellar, and a full wellness level with gym, sauna, steam room and massage room — plus a floodlit tennis court in the grounds. Seven en-suite bedrooms are spread across the master pavilion and two separate guest pavilions, so families and friends each keep their own space; the grand master suite has a canopied bed, a whirlpool tub and an outdoor shower with sea views, and one room is designed for guests with reduced mobility. A multilingual villa manager and private chef run the house, with breakfast daily and Thai menus a speciality, and a covered events platform makes the estate a natural choice for weddings and celebrations. The Four Seasons at Laem Yai is minutes away.
