Casa by the sea

The accommodation at Casa by the sea runs from a 50 m² sea view studio to 130 m² villas, and several of the two-bedroom villas come with a plunge pool. The 60 m² apartment has a full kitchen, and the rooms are fitted with flat-screen TVs and streaming services in several cases.

Sea, ocean and pool views are available in different rooms, and air conditioning is provided in several of them. Two of the villas accommodate up to five guests, so the property suits a family or a small group as well as a couple.

The grounds include an outdoor swimming pool, a garden and a terrace, and the property has a private beach with beachfront access. Diving, snorkelling and both motorised and non-motorised water sports are also available. Massage treatments, a library, a concierge and a postal service are also offered on site.

For meals, there are restaurants, a kitchen and breakfast served in the room, plus food delivery. Tours, ticket services, car hire, a shuttle service and an airport transfer are also available, along with a laundry service, dry cleaning and luggage storage. Express check-in and check-out are offered, along with daily housekeeping, ironing service, safety deposit boxes and Xerox and fax services in the business centre.

The property is in the Bo Phut area of Koh Samui, an island in the Gulf of Thailand reached by air or by ferry. Bo Phut is one of the island's traditional fishing villages, and the Bangrak beach fish market sells the day's catch nearby. Hat Bang Rak Beach lies 50 m from the grounds, with Petcharat Marina a short distance away, so boats and yachts are part of the scene.

Big Buddha Temple is 1.1 km away and is one of the island's best-known landmarks. Wat Plai Laem, known for its Guanyin statue, is also nearby, and Fisherman's Village, 3.1 km away, is an old fishing village turned into a walking street. Chaweng Noi Beach, 5.6 km away, is another island beach to visit, and Maenam and Lamai beaches are also on the island's coastline.

Car hire is offered at the property, and Na Muang Waterfall and the Hin Ta and Hin Yai Rocks are among the island's sights further out. Samui Airport (USM) is 1.4 km away, and the Samui Elephant Sanctuary is also in Bophut. A day could combine a morning at Big Buddha with an afternoon at the Fisherman's Village walking street, with Hat Bang Rak Beach close by for the evening.
