Koh Samui villas

Why pick Koh Samui villas over a hotel?

Koh Samui villas keep the group together. A hotel splits you up; a villa puts everyone round one pool, with one kitchen, one terrace and nobody to complain about the music.

It's the base for the whole trip: the boat day, the Full Moon, and the late evenings in Chaweng.

For 12, a private home beats a resort. Your DJ plays until the villa's cut-off, not to quiet resort rules, and a villa manager looks after you, with a chef if you want one. Want the resort feel for one evening? Have dinner at a resort, and keep the party at the villa.

These are private homes, so the address comes with the booking. Which house suits your crew? Tanner knows.

Which Koh Samui villa fits your group?

The estate has 5 to 8 bedrooms for 16 or more of you, with staff on hand. The big statement, quoted to your plan.

The premium villa has 4 to 5 bedrooms, often right on the beach. Tanner prices it for your dates, and high season costs the most.

The pool villa has 3 to 4 bedrooms for up to about 10. The easy pick for a first trip.

Prices are for the whole villa, with housekeeping every day, fresh linen, the pool and garden, Wi-Fi and water. Electricity over the villa's limit, the chef's food and the event deposit are extra, and each is confirmed in writing before you book.

Ten of you, or sixteen? Tanner sends three houses that fit.

Where should you stay on Samui?

Chaweng Noi if the nightlife comes first, next door to Chaweng. Bophut and Choeng Mon for the airport and the boats to Koh Phangan.

Taling Ngam, on the west coast, has the sunsets. ARKbar and the clubs are a short drive from Chaweng Noi.

Big Buddha sits on Koh Fan, a small island joined by a causeway about 3 km north of the airport. The 12 m gold statue was built in 1972 and is open from 7am to 6:30pm. Wat Plai Laem, with its 18-armed Guanyin on a lake, is about 1 km east.

On Friday, Fisherman's Village in Bophut turns into a walking street from 6pm to 11pm (Inside Samui), an easy first evening from a villa in Bophut or Choeng Mon.

First time on Samui? Chaweng Noi, with Big Buddha on your first morning, before the tour vans arrive from about 9:30am. Hold the villa early.

The villa on the sand

Koh Samui villas on the beach are the island's signature: the sand a few steps from the terrace.

The best beaches for it are Chaweng Noi and Choeng Mon on the east and north, Plai Laem in the north-east, and Taling Ngam on the west for sunsets. Those houses go first in high season, so book early.

At the very top are the ultra-luxury beachfront villas, priced for your dates.

Your yacht day leaves from the same beaches. See Koh Samui yacht days. Add the boat to your villa week.

Can you have a party at the villa?

Every villa sets its own music cut-off, from midnight to 6am, depending on the villa and its neighbours.

Many villas sit in quiet estates next to family resorts. Play music at midnight there, and you lose your deposit.

The right party villa takes a bigger event deposit and has room for a DJ and a bar by the pool. That's the kind Tanner books.

At the gate, security keeps the guest list, ฿9,000 for an 8-hour shift. See close protection. Add one for the big evening.

The party we bring

Your house, your guest list, and a crew that brings the party to the terrace.

A DJ by the pool from ฿8,000, the bar poured for you at ฿1,500 a guest, and hosts lifting the crowd at the DJ booth. A photographer is ฿10,000 for the day.

A private chef cooks to your menu, or wakes you with a floating breakfast on the first morning. Massage at the villa, yoga by the pool, and the cars waiting all evening, wherever it goes.

When to go

February to April is the driest stretch, and November is the wettest month, with about 445 mm of rain on around 16 days (Thai Meteorological Department normals).

December to February is high season and costs the most, so book beachfront villas months ahead. May to September is still good weather, with better value.

Ang Thong Marine Park is closed from 1 November to 15 December 2026, so a boat day then goes to Koh Tan or Koh Phangan instead. Ask Tanner which month suits your boat day.

Five days for 12, all in

A real Samui week, built around the villa, a boat day and the Full Moon.

Day one is the car from the airport, check in, and a pool party with a DJ and a barbecue. Day two is your own catamaran to Ang Thong Marine Park (closed 1 November to 15 December 2026, so Koh Tan or Koh Phangan then), back for sunset on the west coast. Day three is slow by the pool, then ARKbar and the clubs in Chaweng. Day four is your own boat to the Full Moon Party on Koh Phangan. Day five is breakfast by the pool, a massage, and the car to the airport.

Twelve of you need a premium villa or a beachfront villa for 12, priced for your dates; the ฿18,500 pool villa sleeps up to about 10.

A pool villa is from ฿18,500 a day. Add the day-one pool party for 12, a DJ and an open bar (฿26,000), and Tanner sends one price for the five days. A beachfront villa for 12, the chef, the boats and the cars are priced on top.

Which five days? Tanner prices your island week.

After Samui

Most groups add one more thing to their Koh Samui villas week: a yacht day, the Full Moon, or a few days in Phuket or Bangkok.

For the boat, see Koh Samui yachts. Carrying on? There are Phuket pool villas and Pattaya pool villas too.

Samui Airport is close to Bophut and Choeng Mon, and the car takes you there. Phuket or Bangkok next? Tanner adds the flight, the car and the next villa to the same plan.
