A nine-bedroom beachfront estate sprawled across three acres of palms and manicured lawns that run straight to a quiet, year-round swimmable beach on Koh Samui’s Laem Sor shore. Seven full bedrooms and two connecting bunk rooms across teakwood Ayutthaya-style pavilions and converted rice barns, a beachside pool, a private tennis court and a full team led by a private chef.

Set across three acres of rolling green dotted with swaying palms and manicured gardens that lead straight to a quiet, all-year-swimmable beach, this is a private beachfront estate on a grand scale. Two luxuriously-fitted teakwood pavilions and two converted rice barns house seven full bedrooms and 9.5 bathrooms, plus two connecting bunk rooms for children — nine bedrooms in all, configurable for smaller groups. Gabled, tapered roofs and solid teak panelling carry the classic elegance of Ayutthaya-era Thai architecture, while antique furnishings are balanced with contemporary pieces and bright pops of colour. From the high-ceilinged living spaces to the bedrooms, every room looks out to the pristine beach, turquoise water and nearby islands. Days drift between the large beachside swimming pool, the expansive lantern-lit lawns and a waterfront sala, with a private tennis court, table tennis, kayaks and a yoga area for the active. The two connecting children’s bunk rooms make it ideal for extended families, and a beachside BBQ is prepared each evening by the private chef and wait staff. Fully staffed and beautifully run, the estate is a popular wedding and events venue for up to 120 guests, with an event fee on top of the nightly rate — any event must be flagged in advance. A scenic morning walk leads up to a nearby hilltop temple. A barefoot-luxury escape built to be returned to, year after year.
