A mere twenty-minute drive from the airport ensures that your relaxation begins almost as soon as you arrive! The panoramic vista encompasses the petite Koh Samui isle and stretches out to Koh Phang Nga. Koh Samui boasts superb beaches, vibrant cultural attractions, delectable local cuisine, enchanting islets and a calendar brimming with special events. Temple Fairs, which commemorate significant dates in the Buddhist calendar, metamorphose the temple grounds into miniature festivals, complete with fairground amusements and games for all to revel in.

The towering Buddha statue and the breathtaking panoramic vistas from the summit are simply exquisite. The Secret Buddha Garden, crowning the Tar Nim Waterfall peak, offers majestic views along with a splendid assortment of statues. Crafted by Nim Thongsuk, a venerable Samui fruit farmer, the garden's statues and temples dot the family's land, creating a legacy that continued until his passing at the age of 91. Each statue conceals an enthralling tale. Boat escapades to the Ang Thong National Marine Park or to Koh Nang Yuan, picturesque islands adorned with expansive sandbars and vibrant coral reefs are exceedingly popular. These excursions present opportunities for hiking, snorkelling, kayaking, and diving, unveiling the islands' awe-inspiring scenic magnificence. Dusky leaf monkeys, long-tailed macaques, leopard cats, wild boar, and otters, alongside flocks of exotic avian species and kaleidoscopic schools of fish, may grace your sightings. A trip to Koh Phangan, Thailand's fifth largest island, allures party enthusiasts with its legendary half-moon and full-moon revelries. The island's pristine character features expansive, ivory-sand beaches, a hilly and luxuriant tropical jungle interior, and remarkable dive sites. For those inclined towards revelry, the neon-adorned heart of central Chewang, a brief drive south from the villa, awaits. Many exotic bars host a carnival of inexpensive drinks, pulsating music and even risqué go-go bars and ladyboy shows. The six-kilometre-long Chaweng Beach hosts vibrant beach parties, water parks, mini-golf, cocktail establishments and dining venues. Cheweng stands as the island's bustling epicentre. The golden sands of Choeng Mon Beach and the endless expanse of Bangrak Beach lure visitors as well.

Bophut's Fisherman's Village is an absolute must-see. The rustic buildings have morphed into chic eateries, boutiques, gift shops, coffee havens, art galleries and dive centres.
