A five-bedroom beachfront villa on Koh Samui’s unspoilt Lamai–Hua Thanon shore, framed by granite boulders and tropical gardens, with a 20-metre infinity pool, kayaks, paddleboards and jet-ski at the door, and sea views throughout. Fully staffed with a private chef.

The second of two iconic homes on this private boulder-strewn shore, this pavilion-style villa sits between lush gardens and the sea, its living spaces opening fully to terraces, breezes and the water beyond. A 20-metre infinity pool with a kid-friendly shallow end, sun loungers and a sea-facing balcony anchors the outdoor living, while the beach below is set up for play — kayaks, paddleboards, a jet-ski and boat outings for those who want to get on the water. A Thai massage sala balances the active days. Five en-suite bedrooms each have a sea view and a freestanding bathtub, shaped individually around the surrounding granite. Open-plan dining and a generous living room flow out to the garden and pool, and a private chef turns the day’s catch and market produce into long, easy meals. The villa is fully staffed with a manager, private chef, housekeeper and handyman, with daily breakfast included; book it alone or together with its twin next door as one estate.
