Although captivating in design, this home, in all its architectural wonder, will find it hard to compete with the views on offer here. Its hillside location in the north-eastern corner of Koh Samui offers a unique advantage of looking out over one of the breathtaking coral coves of this island, which means sparkling blue waters, hillsides, and rocky outcroppings for as far as the eye can see. But nature doesn’t just lie on the horizon here, this home is surrounded by natural boulders, palm trees, and fragrant foliage that almost gives the impression of living out in the wild. When you’re not surrounded by it outside, you’ll find many of the bedrooms open out onto private patios – and even when they don’t, the large glass windows that seem a staple at this home, almost invites the greenery in, never severing the connection with nature. 

Spend your days outside admiring the views and soaking up the sun from any one of the many terraces set up with relaxation in mind. When you’ve had your share of sunbathing, you can slip into the cool waters of the infinity pool and swim up to the edge to truly appreciate the tranquillity and beauty of the island. 

If you're in the mood to break a sweat, get your blood pumping with a workout in the full-size gym, complete with a boxing ring – perfect for those Muay Thai lessons. Fancy a more laid-back day? Book an at-home session in your very own massage room and feel the tension melt away.

Head out on boat trips or explore the temples and waterfalls scattered across the island. Zip line through the jungle or bungee jump, but even if you do nothing else, go diving so you can see the coral reefs up close. 

Make it back home in time for sunset and sit out on the covered terrace, with drinks in hand, as you recap the day’s adventures. Spend the rest of the evening in the games room or the private cinema, and when you finally retire after a soak in the jacuzzi tub, know you can do it all again the following day.

Crystal Over the Cove

Comfort and convenience are what this apartment is all about. With a private garden and terrace for dining alfresco – plus access to a shared pool, gym and spa – this place has a lot going for it. And did we mention that Nai Thon Beach is just steps from the door? The home itself is contemporary, with lots of space for everyone to spread out. That said, our bet is that most of your time will be spent outdoors exploring the vibrant surroundings of this rural beach town in Northern Phuket.

Pearl of Nai Thon

If you’re searching for the best views of Koh Samui, this is the place to stay. Perched on the edge of the island jungle, this luxurious home celebrates neutral interiors that mimic the stretch of white sand just moments away. And that panorama would convert even the most seasoned urbanite. 

Rather than separate from the outside world, the open-plan living area blends seamlessly with the tropical paradise beyond. From the L-shaped sofa, you can watch palm trees wave their fronds lazily in the midday heat while the little ones splash about in the infinity pool. We wouldn’t blame you if you wanted to spend all day lazing on the expansive sun deck, Pina Colada in hand.

When you're ready to explore, the host can arrange boat tours or scuba diving excursions to experience the Gulf of Thailand firsthand. In the evenings, enjoy grilled fish with fresh coriander prepared by your very own private chef.


The Island's Edge

Perched atop a forested hillside overlooking the sparkling Gulf of Thailand, this multi-layered villa offers a private tropical paradise in Koh Samui. Showcasing rustic stone walls and spectacular views at every turn, the interiors beautifully mirror the natural wonders that lie just outside. Step onto the spacious pool deck and you'll be greeted by a glittering infinity pool. Start the day by watching the sunrise with a coffee in the sunken seating area, followed by a refreshing swim to set you up for the adventures that lie ahead. 

Known for its palm-fringed shores, no trip to Koh Samui would be complete without some beach time. Sunbathe on the white sand, swim in the ocean, or give windsurfing a go if you're looking to try something new. Thailand is known for its ornate temples, and Koh Samui isn't short of cultural gems if you fancy learning more about the island.

When you get back to the villa, fire up the barbecue for a laid-back dinner, or make use of the in-house chef if you want a night off from cooking. Alfresco meals are a must – gather around the dining table and tuck into local delicacies while the cooling breeze rolls in off the sea. There are plenty of ways to wind down for the evening here, with a plush cinema set up and private in-room Jacuzzis making for magical nights in.

The Coral Cove

Perched overlooking the waterfront of Bang Tao Beach just 30 metres away, enjoy barefoot strolls down to the beachfront restaurants and bars within easy reach. So whether you're looking to relax and unwind, sample the local Thai cuisine or sip cocktails as the sun sets over the Andaman Sea – this spot allows you to enjoy it all. 

With a restaurant, swimming pool and lounging area to enjoy, you'll have free access to the on-site amenities alongside your own private apartment on the third floor. 

Decorated in modern designs and hand-crafted finishing touches from Chiang Mai, the space presents ample room for up to five guests to base themselves comfortably. We particularly love the huge sunken bathtub in the main bathroom, which features a jacuzzi setting as well as a rainfall shower for the ultimate spa-like experience. 


Barefoot on the Beachfront

Phuket is drenched in natural beauty and breathtaking views, and this apartment complex may just offer the best view on the island. From the edge of the infinity pool, you can look out across the undulating hillside, azure blue water and the colourful town of Patong. It's one of those views that make you want to really appreciate the moment.

As well as the gorgeous pool, you're also afforded a spectacular view from the comfort of your bed. Wake up and face the window to see sprawling greenery blend into the blue of the horizon. 

You can, of course, immerse yourself in that incredible view. The malls and markets of Patong are just a five-minute drive away, showcasing the authentic lifestyle of the locals.

If you'd prefer a slower pace, you're just an eight-minute walk from the peaceful serenity of the beach. Pack your towel and refreshments for a relaxing day by the water, hidden by the towering mountainside. 

An Infinite Blend

A contemporary bolthole just a five–minute amble from the sandy shores of Surin Beach, if you’re exploring Phuket as a solo traveller or in a couple, this stylish studio is, without question, the perfect place to be. 

The rooftop pool is the centre of it all, serving the ideal spot to enjoy a refreshing dip and admire those incredible ocean vistas, meanwhile the private balcony welcomes you to soak up the views of the rugged mountains and beautiful–blue skyline beyond. We love the clean, modern aesthetic here. A largely neutral colour scheme makes for a soothing space to retreat to after a busy day traversing Phuket’s sights and sounds, while occasional pops of vibrant orange add a homely, cosy touch. 

This apartment is kitted out with all the amenities you could wish for, lovingly hand–crafted from Chiang Mai. There’s also a large, flat–screen TV in the lounge, allowing you to catch up on your best–loved shows on those quieter evenings, and, if you’re into your fitness, a shared gym available to use for no additional charge. In a nutshell, there’s something for everyone.

The local shops are just a leisurely five–minute stroll away, with some fabulous Thai restaurants around a six–seven minute walk away. Alternatively, if you fancy taking a meander along Phuket’s sandy shoreline, the beach is well within reach, too.


Mosaic Splash

Located just 600 metres away from Karon Beach, this elegant apartment offers not just convenient proximity to the local bars, restaurants and, of course, the beach's sandy shores – but an array of home luxuries too. 

From the sixth floor, you'll have luscious mountain views of the surrounding tropical greenery from the comfort of your terrace balcony. Enjoy a refreshing cold drink at the alfresco dining area, or put your feet up in the inviting living area where the floor-to-ceiling windows welcome an abundance of natural flowing daylight throughout the space. 

With shared amenities, including an outdoor swimming pool, gym and restaurant on-site – you won't have to venture far for leisure activities. 

Tropic Thai 

With the Andaman Sea gently lapping down below, this villa is ideal for anyone looking to reconnect and rejuvenate in a secluded setting surrounded by lush vegetation. 

With seven bedrooms spread across three floors it offers the space necessary for family reunions, or bigger groups of friends, without ever cramping anyone's style. Find your spot on a balcony or the outdoor terrace and drink in the sunshine as you sit back with a cocktail and a book. Spend entire days either poolside or swimming to the edge of the infinity pool to admire the incredible views on offer. Sunbathe, laugh, and nibble until lunch time when you can enjoy a chef-prepared meal at the set dining table. 

Even from inside, the outdoors will never be far away when almost every room in the villa leads out onto a balcony through its own set of sliding doors. Open them all to let the breeze and sunshine in – especially when you’re settling down for a nap. 

With housekeeping, a chef, and wait staff on hand, you won’t have to focus on anything but relaxing. Visit the gym to burn off some energy and enjoy a long soak in the sunken jacuzzi tub after. 

Explore the golden beaches that aren’t more than fifteen minutes away by car, or golfing is your thing, you might enjoy a round at either of the courses that are twenty-five minutes away.

Cradled in Paradise

You need not look any further than this bright and sleek apartment if you’re looking for a taste of island life. Located within an exclusive complex providing a host of amenities and with the white sands of Surin beach just moments away, this home will appeal to those seeking an idyllic tropical retreat.

You’ll want to make the most of all the fantastic shared facilities on offer – take refreshing dips in your choice of pool (there are three to choose from), keep on top of your fitness routine in the gym and lie out on the plush, rooftop daybeds – from here you’ll enjoy sprawling views out to the ocean. 

The inside of your apartment will invite you to unwind in its light-filled space, with plenty of room to stretch out after a day snorkelling off of Surin Beach. Enjoy a few games of cards on the comfy sofa and whip up light meals in the compact and dynamic kitchen – you can savour your bites outside on your private terrace, which overlooks the luscious gardens.

Immerse yourself in the Phuket lifestyle down on Surin Beach, just a short walk away. Here, you'll be able to soak up the sun on the powdery white sands, drink fresh coconuts under the shade of the palm trees, and enjoy an array of authentic dishes at one of the local eateries. 

The Floating Lotus

This light filled Patong pad is the perfect place from which to explore paradisal Phuket. But first things first, you’ll want to take the opportunity to make the most of all this home has to offer. Begin the day by taking your morning coffee out onto your private balcony for views of lush Thai greenery before heading down for a morning swim in the residents only infinity pool or getting your sweat on in the air-conditioned residents only gym. Hop into the large walk-in shower before whipping up something light to eat in preparation for a day at nearby Patong Beach. Simply sunbathe or if you’re feeling more adventurous try your hand at one of the many water sports on offer – parasailing and jet-skiing are the most popular choices. Alternatively, your home’s central location means that it’s very easy to live like a local and browse the area’s shops and street food markets or sample some of its many restaurants and bars.

In case you need to catch up on a little work during your stay, this home features private wi-fi while the desk in the bedroom is a laptop friendly workspace.


Paradise Pad

When it comes to swimming options in this apartment complex, you're truly spoilt for choice. You can decide between the large pool on the ground floor, a rooftop pool with incredible views or the fresh sea water at the beach. It's an oasis for those of you who love spending time in the water.

If you're keen to swim a few lengths, the ground floor pool is large enough to satisfy any keen swimmers. For more idle swimmers who just enjoy feeling the cool water, head to the rooftop pool and enjoy the view. It's also lined with beds for sunbathing sessions, enhanced by a fresh cocktail. 

For swimming in the sea, Surin Beach is just a short walk away. Lay your towel on the golden sands and bask in the tranquility of the coastal haven. Whilst you're out by the shore, pick up some supplies at the numerous shops to enjoy back at the apartment.

Tuck into some rice crackers on the dining table or rustle up a red Thai curry for something more substantial. After a hearty dinner, relax on the snug comfort of the sofa.
