Villa Sea Esta/Luxury Residence at Chaweng Noi

The villa is let as a whole, so the house with its three bedrooms and four bathrooms is yours alone. It covers 320 m², with air conditioning, a balcony or terrace, a private pool and a sound system. The kitchen has a freezer, microwave, oven, refrigerator, stove, dishes and dining utensils, and the villa also has a washer and an iron.

The villa sleeps up to six guests and has a choice of bed set-ups, so the sleeping arrangements can suit your group. Cribs, a baby cot and a high chair are also available, and the villa has 24-hour security.

The villa has a full kitchen set-up: a freezer, microwave, oven, refrigerator, stove, dishes and dining utensils, kitchen basics such as cookware, oils and condiments, a barbecue grill, coffee or tea, and a washer.

Free parking is available for guests who arrive by car. Internet access is available, and the villa has air conditioning, ceiling or portable fans, a sound system, a TV, a hair dryer and an iron.

The villa also has a crib or baby cot, a high chair, a private entrance and 24-hour security. Languages spoken include English, Chinese (Mandarin), Dutch and Thai. With cookware, oils and condiments provided, meals can be prepared at the villa itself.

Chaweng Noi is a coastal area on Koh Samui, and the busier beaches of Chaweng and Lamai are not far away. The feel here is quieter, which suits those who want a private villa with room to spread out rather than a hotel on the main beach road. That makes it a practical choice for a stay built around the pool and the villa itself, with the lively Lamai beach strip within a few kilometres for dinner and evening walks.

Chaweng Noi Beach is 1 km away and Coral Cove Beach is 1.3 km away. Wat Lamai, a Buddhist temple with a pagoda, lies near Lamai, while the Hin Ta and Hin Yai rocks, known as Grandma and Grandpa Rocks, are 4.9 km away. Samui Airport (USM) is 6.2 km from the villa, and the Big Buddha, a large seated statue, is 8.5 km away.

A good day could begin with a swim at Chaweng Noi Beach, continue to the rock formations at Hin Ta and Hin Yai, and end with a meal at the Lamai Night Market. Because the villa has free parking, a car is a convenient way to reach the sights further afield, such as the Big Buddha. Visitors who prefer a quieter evening can stay at the villa and use the pool instead.
