Lemongrass Pool Villa is on Koh Samui, the island in the Gulf of Thailand known for its long string of beaches, Buddhist temples, night markets and a lively evening scene. The villa suits a traveller who wants a pool and a quiet base, while staying close to the island's beaches and its markets. Central Festival Samui, a large shopping centre, is also nearby, so the everyday errands of a stay are easy to fit in.

Wat Chaweng, a Buddhist pagoda 1000 m away, and the Samui Elephant Sanctuary in Bophut are both close by. Chaweng Yai Beach lies 2.4 km away, a long stretch of sand where guests can spend the afternoon. The Big Buddha, a large seated statue 3.8 km away, is one of the island's best-known landmarks, and the Night Market and the Fisherman's Village walking street in Bophut are the places for evening food and shopping.

A full day could start with the temples near the villa, continue with time on Chaweng Yai Beach, and end at the Fisherman's Village walking street. Na Muang Waterfall and the Hin Ta and Hin Yai rock formations lie farther round the island, so they make a trip for a different day.
