Renting a house or villa on koh Samui can be an affordable and pleasurable holiday experience. Properties range from one and two bedroom bungalows to full service mansions with up to 10 bedrooms, huge infinity pools and indulgent additional facilities like gymnasiums, cinema rooms and tennis courts. Authentic Thai style houses like the beautiful Tassana Pra near Samui's Big Buddha temple can also be rented privately.
Designs, layouts, locations and prices vary considerably on Samui. At the top end of the scale luxury properties can cost anything from 2000 to 5000 US dollars per night. But guests can also find cheaper options that boast private pools, outdoor terraces and sea view bathtubs. For families or friends sharing a house, the advantages of privacy can cost as little as $100 per night per person.
Partly because of the proliferation of rental properties on Koh Samui, the island has become one of South East Asia's most sought after boutique destinations. Only Phuket and Bali compete in terms of the number of houses available for short and long term rent. For holiday lets, many houses come with a team of staff, including a villa manager to meet special requests and offer information and recommendations. Some houses rent through agents who provide their staff, while others like Tassana Pra boast their own live in team who are happy to help with everything from travel arrangements and tour bookings to keeping an eye on the kids. Daily cleaning is standard and guests can also choose to have their meals at home. Thai chefs cook sumptuous dishes right in the villa's kitchen, which can be served al fresco out on the terrace overlooking the views..
Villas like Tassana Pra on the island's northern coast offer comfortable, extremely private accommodation in peaceful surroundings with stunning coastal views. Renting such a property is a more personal and independent choice than staying in a hotel or resort. What's more, it can actually save you money.
