Right next to the powdery white sand of Samui island’s serene Lipa Noi beach, Waimarie is the ultimate absolute beach getaway, with dreamy views across island-dotted sea to the sunset. The six spacious bedrooms, surrounded by brilliant tropical gardens, can sleep up to 12 people in comfort, making this the ideal family retreat, friends reunion venue or corporate getaway. With its 15-metre pool, spacious open dining room and lounge, and its huge shady sala, this Samui villa has it all: a super-efficient staff, five-star cuisine, a private tennis court, kayaks and paddle-boards and all the luxury you can eat.
The most impressive of half a dozen high-end absolute beachfront villas on the southern stretch of Koh Samui’s most beautiful yet quietest beach, Lipa Noi, this Samui villa looks west across the Gulf of Siam. It is six minutes from the nearest town, Nathon (good for some easy basic shopping) and 50 minutes from Chaweng, the island’s main nexus for shopping, dining and nightlife. The airport is 50 minutes’ drive, while the car ferry jetty is nearby.
