Koh Koon

Set on seven Rai (11,200 sqm) of lush hillside overlooking Chaweng Bay, Koh Koon is a spectacular private estate where East meets the Mediterranean. With its rock-clad buildings, terracotta roof tiles, wrought iron details, and aged wood shutters, the villa evokes the charm of a French countryside retreat—subtly reimagined for a tropical island setting, complete with swaying coconut palms and panoramic sea views.

The layout of Koh Koon has been thoughtfully designed to blend into its natural surroundings. Giant boulders are retained as garden features, rolling lawns connect the various pavilions via stone pathways, and rockeries and grassland gardens frame the estate beautifully. Despite its rustic aesthetic, the villa offers refined comfort and five-star facilities throughout.

At the heart of the estate is the main living pavilion, home to expansive communal spaces ideal for social gatherings and celebrations. The open-plan living and dining area is a double-height space furnished with oversized sofas, curated art pieces, and a solid aged-wood dining table seating up to 18 guests. A built-in bar, pool table, football table, and dartboard enhance the relaxed, sociable atmosphere, while the adjoining country-style kitchen is fully equipped with Smeg appliances and serves as the creative hub for the in-house chef.

Dining at Koh Koon is a highlight, with multiple indoor and outdoor settings to enjoy meals throughout the day—from breakfast on sun-dappled terraces to poolside lunches, barbecues, and elegant indoor dinners. A hand-built pizza oven, barbecue area, juicer for fresh island produce, and pool dining sala add variety and flair to every occasion. The experienced resident chef uses herbs and vegetables from his own garden, ensuring fresh, flavourful cuisine throughout your stay.

Upstairs, a mezzanine library and business centre offers a quiet retreat, featuring reclaimed teak floors, bespoke furnishings, and walls lined with books. Below the main pavilion, a flexible multi-purpose room can be used as a TV lounge, massage room, or additional recreational space.

The expansive infinity pool sits at the centre of the gardens, sunken into a wooden deck and offering exceptional sea views. It is surrounded by sun loungers, shaded seating areas, a pool bar, and a covered lounge, making it the perfect place to relax or gather as a group. Bluetooth speakers are discreetly placed around the pool and buildings, allowing guests to enjoy their own music with ease.

The landscaped grounds provide ample space for outdoor activities, from children playing freely on the lawns to a friendly game of pétanque in the garden. Higher up, a large function deck built around a majestic tree offers a serene setting for sunrise yoga, wellness sessions, or intimate wedding ceremonies.

While Koh Koon’s style is rustic and relaxed, service is seamless and attentive. A professional villa manager and full-time staff ensure every detail is taken care of, while the concierge can arrange excursions, events, and experiences across the island.

Daily continental or Asian breakfast is included, along with the services of the private Thai chef, full-time staff, one return airport transfer, and an English-speaking villa manager. Whether for a family reunion, special celebration, or indulgent island escape, Koh Koon offers a tranquil yet pampered Samui retreat with complete privacy and exceptional views.
