A freshly renovated one-to-three-bedroom hilltop villa above the palm-lined shores of Taling Ngam, on Koh Samui's quiet south-west coast. A 9-metre pool with a kid-friendly shallow looks across to the Five Islands, with an ocean-facing BBQ terrace for sunsets and a new Finnish sauna and ice bath. Fully staffed with daily breakfast; the beach is a few minutes down the hill.

Nestled on a hilltop above the palm-lined shore at Taling Ngam, this crisp white villa is barefoot luxury with a "Hamptons goes tropical" feel — floor-to-ceiling doors open the indoor-outdoor living spaces to the natural breeze and a wonderful outlook over the valley to the Five Islands and the sunsets across the Gulf of Thailand. Renovated in 2024, the home now adds a Finnish-style sauna and an ice bath to its line-up of ways to unwind after a day of island-hopping. A 9-metre pool with a kid-friendly shallow area sits beside an ocean-facing terrace with a BBQ and a sunset-watching daybed, and the white sand beach is just a few minutes down the hill. Flexible as a one to three-bedroom stay, it suits couples and families alike. The villa is fully staffed with daily breakfast included; an optional private chef is available, and stays of more than five nights include one round-trip airport transfer. The Air Bar and a beachfront restaurant are a short buggy ride away — island living at its finest, with the rest of Samui within easy reach.
