Exclusive 3-Bed Villa in Amphoe Ko Samui, Sleeps 6, 1020

Golden Lotus Villas are located halfway up a mountain, allowing a bird’s eye view of the island from Bophut headland all the way across Chaweng. The location is merely 15 -minutes away from the airport, and complimentary airport transfers are provided. A 10-minute drive also takes you to Central Samui and the vibrant beachside restaurants of Chaweng, Koh Samui’s most active nightlife area. Fisherman’s Village, a more restrained and equally beautiful stretch of shops and beachside restaurants, is 20-25 minutes away by car.

The estate, halfway up the mountain, is accessed via very steep roads, best traversed on four-wheel drives. At the base of the mountain, you will find supermarkets, local eateries, and a taxi stand. It is recommended that you hire a car with a driver for your island excursions. The Villa Manager can take care of this for you, or just let the Elite Concierge handle all your transport requirements. Having a car on stand-by will give your group peace of mind so you can head out whenever you wish, even if it is to have a drink or pick up something from the supermarket.


Koh Samui retains its dreamy vibe and a laid-back feel. Although the island is renowned for its palm-fringed beaches and clear blue sea, it has much to offer visitors of all ages. Whether on a family holiday with little ones or teenagers, a group of friends looking for shared experiences, or those seeking the action of the island’s beach clubs and nightlife, Samui has something for you.

Your Villa Manager can make all the necessary arrangements for you to enjoy your chosen pursuits. Here are some suggestions:


Fisherman’s Village & Night Market | If there’s one place you must visit in Samui, it is this. A trendy walking market with fancy boutiques, charming beachside restaurants and a splattering of elegant beach clubs, Fisherman’s Village comes alive every evening. If you’re missing the crowds, come here on a Friday evening for the ‘Night Market’. And don’t miss the fire-eating entertainment on the beach in front of Coco Tam, one of our favourite beach clubs on the island.

Luxury Island Cruising | Charter the luxury 44-foot catamaran Odyssey for the day and sail out to glorious coconut-palm-covered islands for a sublime day of swimming, snorkelling and exploring beautiful, untouched beaches. Pull in for lunch at one of several beachside restaurants or order a luxury picnic basket and choose your anchorage for a taste of unspoiled paradise. The catamaran is available for private charter for daytime, sunset and overnight cruises to Samui’s neighbouring islands of Koh Phangan, Koh Madsum, Koh Tan, and the archipelago of Angthong National Marine Park – a protected collection of 42 dramatic karst islands surrounded by sea teeming with exotic fish and beautiful corals.

A Day at the Beach | Spend a day with your toes in the sand at one of the island’s many beautiful sandy beaches. Just nearby are the bays of Chaweng, Bophut, Big Buddha, and Choeng Mon, all with a variety of beachside facilities and restaurants. Further afield, the deserted palm-fringed beaches at Bang Po and Laem Nai on the north-west coast are a popular spot for their rustic beachfront restaurants and stunning views of Ang Thong and Koh Phangan islands.

Meet Samuis Gentle Giants at Elephant Haven | Pay a visit to one of Samui’s leading ethical elephant sanctuaries, Elephant Haven. Home to 18 magnificent Asian elephants and their offspring, Elephant Haven offers visitors a wonderful up-close-and-personal experience with these extraordinary, gentle giants in a safe and natural environment.

World-class Golfing in Samui | Santiburi Samui Country Club is one of the most beautiful golf courses in Asia and the island’s only championship 18-hole, par-72 golf course.

This challenging course is surrounded by natural rainforest and coconut-palm plantations, with distracting views of the mountains and ocean at every turn, which makes it an oasis of pure golfing pleasure.

Samui’s Spirit of Adventure | Sports and adventure enthusiasts of all ages will be thrilled by the variety of action activities available on Samui.
