The private villa market has expanded swiftly on Koh Samui in recent years, with regional investors from places like Hong Kong and Singapore making the island a popular second home destination. The relatively low cost of construction allowed these investors to build luxurious residences in stunning, private locations and the rental market has grown as owners look for yields from their investments when they are not in residence. Holiday rental clients can now choose from an impressive portfolio of private villas around the island, many offered at rates that compete favourably with upmarket hotel rooms. Gated developments often include 24-hour security and on-site communal facilities, which allows guests to enjoy resort like facilities with the added bonus of complete privacy.
Private villas on Koh Samui often have 4 or more bedrooms, with both double and twin configurations that suit groups of friends or families sharing. Established properties like Tassana Pra villa are located on a forested hillside with spectacular views down to the coast and offshore islands. This villa is surrounded by lush tropical vegetation but still only a short drive from the island's main attractions and tourist centres.
Service concepts in private villas have become increasingly sophisticated to cater for a truly international clientele. Maids, gardeners and security guards are now standard at private villas on the island and many also come with a dedicated manager to book tours and transport, recommend activities, as well as a chef to prepare and serve delicious meals for guests in the privacy of their own holiday home.
Private villas like Tassana Pra have also become a popular choice for weddings, with couples renting the property not only for the ceremony and celebration, but also as a honeymoon retreat after the main event. Many of Samui's private villas offer a dream wedding location and extra staff can easily be brought in to look after detail, decorating the property with flowers and preparing the food and even providing live entertainment.
