Samui Sunset 22G Private Pool Villa stands in the Na Muang area of Koh Samui, a quieter part of the island where waterfalls and farmland sit between the coast and the hills. Life here is calmer than on the beach strips, and the island's best-known sights are a drive away. The Central Festival Samui shopping centre is also a drive away, so the villa works as a quiet place to return to after trips into town.

Na Muang Waterfall is 2.2 km from the villa, and Paradise Park Farm, a farm with animals, is 750 m away. Secret Buddha Garden, a garden filled with Buddha statues, is nearby, and Lamai Beach, a long sandy bay, lies 7 km off. Samui Airport is 10.4 km away, and Big Buddha, a large seated statue above the coast, is further off. Together these sights give a fair picture of the island beyond its beaches.

A full day could start at the Na Muang waterfalls, continue to the Secret Buddha Garden and end with a drive to Lamai Beach for the evening. The villa's private pool gives you a quieter afternoon between the sights, and after dark the garden is a calm alternative to the busier stretches of the coast.
