The 5 Bedrooms Private Residence with Oceanview in Samui Island
Description
We’re thrilled to present you our breathtaking view villa in Samui Island, The vast, elevated living and dining room of this five-bedroom villa runs almost the entire length of the property and features a soaring, wood-lined, vaulted ceiling. Windows on both sides are completed with bi-folding glass doors that ensure constant panoramic views across the palm-clad valleys, and out to the bay of Bophut and the offshore islands.
A square pedestal table for ten sits in the centre of the dining area, next to an open plan fully equipped kitchen with an island breakfast bar, top-of-the-range fitted appliances and a built-in wine cooler. On the far side of the dining table, the villa's spacious lounge area is furnished with three deeply cushioned upholstered sofas and two comfy chairs set around a rustic coffee table and oriented towards a Smart TV. The room is complemented by a modern chandelier and mood enhancing table lamps. Outside, a covered balcony runs along the entire length of the pavilion, protected by a clear glass barrier and overlooking the tropical garden and 20-metre infinity pool. All-weather chairs add a final touch, offering the perfect place to relax with a book, and enjoy the spectacular views while sipping an afternoon cocktail.
Stairs on both sides of the balcony lead down to the villa's lower level where three of the five bedrooms look out across the garden, pool and those jaw-dropping views. A covered walkway runs along the front of these king-bedded guestrooms all of which are adjoined by ensuite bathrooms with rain showers. In front, a lawn and garden extends to the wide pool terrace.
In the pool, sunken stools rest beside a swim up bar incorporated within the covered sala, which also houses a dining table and cushioned bench seats. On the other side of the pool, you’ll find one of the villa's two master suites complete with a vaulted wooden ceiling and doors opening directly onto the pool terrace. A separate dressing area behind the king-size bed leads into an ensuite bathroom with twin washbasins, a rain shower and a terrazzo bathtub positioned next to a window that looks directly out to the ocean beyond. Steps at the rear of the lower master suite lead back up to the lounge area and from the steps, a door leads into the second upper floor master bedroom, which is a mirror version of the one below.

About Koh Samui
Each part of the island has its own character. Chaweng is lively, with beach clubs, nightlife, and shopping. Lamai is quieter but still social. Bophut and Maenam are known for their family-friendly vibe and walkable beaches, while Choeng Mon and the northern hills attract luxury buyers with private villas and stunning views. Samui’s hilly landscape means many properties offer panoramic outlooks and cool breezes.
Life on Samui is easygoing. The island has international schools, modern hospitals, organic markets, and yoga retreats. There are also plenty of cafes, fine-dining spots, and beach restaurants. The airport makes travel simple, with direct flights to Bangkok and regional hubs. Many remote workers, retirees, and families now call the island home full-time.
Despite growing popularity, Koh Samui still feels laid-back and personal. Whether you want a quiet villa above the bay or a beachfront home near shops and restaurants, Samui offers space, nature, and comfort — all wrapped in a tropical island setting.

What is the property tax in Koh Samui?
There is no annual property tax in Koh Samui for residential properties. However, buyers should consider additional costs such as a 2% transfer fee, 0.5% stamp duty, and a 3.3% business tax if the property is sold within five years. Withholding tax also applies and varies depending on the seller’s status.
How much does it cost to live comfortably in Koh Samui?
It highly depends on your lifestyle. For luxurious living, expect to spend at least 100,000 THB per month. This can vary widely based on your location, housing choice, dining habits, and leisure activities. Phuket caters to all from street food starting at 50 baht per plate to a Michelin-star fine dining experience starting at 3000 baht per plate.
What is the average cost to buy a property in Koh Samui?
The average cost to buy a property in Koh Samui is around ฿100 million (~$3 million), reflecting the island's popularity for high-end villas with sea views and resort-style living. Entry-level luxury properties typically start from about ฿19.5 million (~$600,000), while ultra-premium estates can reach up to ฿325 million (~$10 million). Prices vary depending on location, land size, and proximity to the beach, with hotspots like Chaweng Noi, Bophut, and Laem Sor attracting strong interest from both lifestyle buyers and investors.
How does buying property in Koh Samui compare to buying in Phuket?
Buying property in Koh Samui compared to Phuket comes down to differences in market size, infrastructure, and lifestyle preferences. Phuket offers a larger, more established real estate market with extensive infrastructure, international schools, hospitals, and year-round flight connections. It attracts a broader range of buyers, including luxury investors and full-time expats. Koh Samui, while smaller and more boutique in feel, appeals to those seeking a quieter island atmosphere with stunning natural beauty. Properties there are often more affordable, and the market is more intimate—but with fewer high-end developments and less robust infrastructure than Phuket. Both islands are foreign leasehold markets, so the legal process is similar, but Phuket offers greater liquidity and resale potential due to its more mature demand.
How developed is the infrastructure on Koh Samui?
Koh Samui’s infrastructure is well-developed for a tropical island, but it’s generally less advanced than Phuket’s. The island has a good road network, reliable electricity, and high-speed internet in most areas. There’s a private international airport with regular flights, although routes are more limited and flights can be more expensive than from Phuket. You’ll find quality hospitals, international schools, supermarkets, and modern amenities—especially around Chaweng, Bophut, and Lamai. However, some rural or hillside areas may still have limited access to utilities or require private water and power solutions. Overall, Koh Samui offers solid infrastructure for comfortable living, but with a more boutique, small-island feel compared to Phuket’s larger-scale development.
