Set in a spacious coconut grove the appeal of this eco-friendly property rests with the manner in which the architecture of the buildings blends with the natural surroundings. The bungalows are set amid 10 acres of lush tropical gardens, ensuring an atmosphere of serenity and privacy. Surrounded by luxuriant coconut palms and flowering shrubs, the charming Samui-style dwellings are built of wood and stone with traditional thatched roofs. “Old style Samui adapted to the needs of the discerning modern traveller.”

This fascinating, small, garden property, lies at the south of Chaweng, the most beautiful place to be on Chaweng Beach. The luxuriously appointed Thai style cottages hide amid the greenery, each offering privacy from the others, and each surrounded by colourful and exotic gardens with meandering paths, bubbling streams, fishponds, teak bridges and waterfalls. The carved roof panels, floors, doors and windows are of solid teak and the fabrics are of finest Thai cotton and silk. A crystal clear free form swimming pool with natural rock formations, and a sparkling jacuzzi lie between the gardens and the sea. The restaurant is one of Samui’s most famous, where you can dine under the stars overlooking the beach or in the magnificent Ayuthaya-style teak pavilion beside the pool.
