Neighbourhood description:

Villa Emerald is for couples that want a private and beautiful setting with the most amazing ocean views that look over to the islands and also the mainland over 20 kilometres away.

Within 5 drive from the Villa there is the charming area of Laem Sett. Within this area there is local Laem Sett beach, which is quiet and secluded. Here one can enjoy and admire a beautiful sunset, and sometimes see the local fishermen with their long tailed boats come into shore. Located on the beach is the popular Thai style Cool Bar when you can enjoy good food and a drink whilst soaking up the tranquil atmosphere.

Also close by is ShaSa Resort, Centara Villas Resort and Samui Orchid which opens its doors to non residents and has many facilities to enjoy, including smart restaurants and bars.

There are many fine restaurants serving delicious Thai and Western food, coffee shops, mini-marts for your daily needs, well reputed massage shops, taxi services etc within 5-10 min drive of the villa.

Amphoe Ko Samui Stadium, only a 6 min drive away, is home to many popular sports events, where visitors can come to watch the activities. It is located in an attractive area, surrounded by a lake/reservoir where there is a football field, basketball etc and you can also walk around or jog with lots of shade. Also outdoor fitness park with brightly coloured exercise equipment which is free to use.

Less than 10 mins away by car you have the fishing village of Baan Hua Thanon where fresh fish, fruit and vegetables are sold daily at the local market and also the home of several small local shops, coffee shops, doctors surgery, 24 hour Seven-Eleven grocery shop with ATM, together with a Chinese Temple.

Lamai is a beach side tourist town a 10 min drive from the Villa. There are individual shops offering locally made souvenirs and clothes. When the sun goes down the streets come alive with lights from the night market and variety of restaurants serving excellent Thai and western dishes in the town and on the beach. Thai boxing is also popular and Lamai has its own professional and amateur boxing ring.

Nearby to the villa many of the island's main attractions are less than 10 mins drive away, which include Namsuang Waterfalls, Crocodile Farm, Elephant trekking, The Grandmother Grandfather Rocks, water sports, excellent Thai cookery classes, a snake farm and many temples, amongst others.

Here there still has the feel on Koh Samui of over 20 years ago, unlike the north of the island. We are frequently told by guests they find the Thai people in this southern part of the island extremely hospitable, and welcoming. In the north where it is far more crowded and touristy on the island there is not always the opportunity to discover the true warmth and charm of the local people.

Remember nowhere on the island is more than 50 minutes away. The southern part of the island, where the villa is located, remains pretty much unspoiled, especially compared to the north. It still has that rustic charm appeal that the whole of Samui boasted years ago. The beaches on the south remain pretty much undeveloped, due mainly to the shallow coastline.

Paradise
The Villa was beautiful, very unique, stunning, views, tons of room. David was excellent to deal with, super accommodating and quick to respond. The only issue would be the driving to the unit which is a little remote and the road quite steep. Highly recommend for a relax retreat while in Koh Samui!

Traumhaft
Ein tolles Haus, mitten im Grünen mit herrlichem Ausblick. Durch die offene Bauweise waren wir immer direkt in der Natur. Wir wurden super betreut. Alle drei Tage wurde alles gereinigt, das Bett bezogen und die Handtücher gewechselt. David hat uns pünktlich vom Flughafen abgeholt und wieder hingebracht. Dabei hat er uns viel über Land und Leute erzählt. Wir können die Villa wärmstens weiter empfehlen!!!

Perfect stay in Thailand!
When my daughter and I arrived at the Villa Emerald, our jaws dropped at the stunning view we were given. As you walk out on the balcony, on either of three levels, you will be greeted by the extraordinary view of the island below and horizon line of the sea. The Villa is very clean, beautifully decorated and located in a more private part of the island, as it is way up in the hills, surrounded by jungles. We had everything we needed for a perfect stay, including a washing machine for our laundry needs and a car, so we could freely make it from one place to another without having to rely on local transportation. We also were conveniently located about 10 min from Lamai Beach, which from our experience was the best beach, as it does not require you to bring any belongings, since the beach restaurants provide towels and beach chairs with umbrellas with the purchase off of their menu. David (the host) met us at the Koh Samui Airport, and showed us around the island before our arrival at the Villa, and he drove us to the airport upon our departure. Our stay was amazing as a whole, and David and Neung made it most enjoyable by accommodating our every need and providing any information for us.

About the host

Host profile image
I moved in 2005 to Koh Samui from Cirencester in the UK. I travelled to Thailand and other countries in this part of the world from 1990. From the places I visited Koh Samui became clearly my favourite destination.

Inspired by the opportunity for business I made the decision to move to Koh Samui and develop a new rental enterprise.

I created my own Flooring business when living in Cirencester. During this time I was also heavily involved in property development and property rental. This became a strong passion of mine, having created a large number of varying style properties in the UK. It was at this time I sought a new challenge and the idea and opportunity of moving to Koh Samui arose.

Since moving to the island I have created 15 properties, of which there are 9 luxury villas for rental, ranging from 1 to 4 bedrooms, with their own swimming pools, four with spectacular ocean views, and all with an individual and tropical style. This collection of stunning villas are known as Peacefulvillas.

There have been a great many challenges in developing villas in a vastly different culture and environment in which I was brought up in. The challenges at times have been stressful, demanding and exhausting! The rewards however have far outweighed the challenges and have been able to stretch my creativity and inspiration.

Living on the island and surrounded by the beautiful, tropical nature I don’t feel the need to be anywhere else. Peacefulvillas keeps me strongly motivated and busy every day, where I enjoy to meet people from all over the world who come to stay, and often return to one of our villas.

I have only returned to Europe twice in 19 years of living on the island. One was for three days in Milan and another for 24hrs in Madrid, both to watch the mighty Spurs play in the Champions League !!!!

Why they chose this property

I felt very fortunate in being able to obtain the very special area of land on the residency known as Sitara.

I have taken great pride in creating and building 4 villas in this wonderfully tranquil and peaceful area of the island.

I took full advantage of the beautiful nature provided in this location, by imaginatively creating the villa to be built in amongst the superb granite rocks, tropical greenery and swaying palm trees.

The superb open-plan, tropical-style Villa Emerald is located in the unspoiled south of the island, which largely remains unaffected by over-development that unfortunately blights the north.

The villa is set in the unique and beautiful location of the residency known as Sitara, which provides 24 hour security.

What makes this property unique

Complimentary pick provided from your arrival point on the island to take you to Villa Emerald and a return journey at the end of your stay.

The villa rental price also includes a complimentary car for your stay.

Villa Emerald is a tropical-style open plan one Bedroom beautiful villa located on hillside land with amazing panoramic ocean views which is unrivalled anywhere else on the island of Koh Samui.

The unique feature of the villa is the stunning look and imaginative display of the beautifully-formed rock formation. It is located in the unspoiled south of the island which largely remains unaffected by over-development that unfortunately blights the north.

Set in the unique and beautiful location of the residency known as Sitara, Villa Emerald, with its high quality standards, provides a welcoming and special stay for anyone visiting the island of Koh Samui.

The villa provides many areas for guests to enjoy such as the salt water swimming pool, separate jetted plunge pool, Reading Area, Sala alcove, tropical Yoga/meditation/massage area with attached shower room, and other delightful facilities, and all with magnificent ocean views to savour and enjoy.

We have 10 villas for rental in the south of the island. Just in 2020 we proudly completed luxury ocean 2 bedroom Villa Moonstone on Sitara Retreat which can also be rented out as a 1 Bedroom, and is the latest design in the collection of Peacefulvillas.

I have lived on the island for 19 years and am happy to provide any information I can to help make your stay rewarding and enjoyable.
