Secluded Luxury
Staying in a private villa is fast becoming a popular alternative to staying in a hotel or resort for guests visiting Koh Samui. While the island has some of the most beautiful beach resorts in the world, nothing beats the convenience and luxury of staying in your private villa where you don’t have to worry about other hotel guests and where you can relax in secluded surroundings with your loved ones. And contrary to what people may think, a private villa need not decimate the holiday budget. In fact, it can sometimes be cheaper than staying in a hotel or beach resort, especially if you’re travelling together in a group.
Have it your Way
Private villas now cover the islands beaches and hillsides so visitors are spoilt for choice when it comes to location. Some people might prefer inland locations where you can escape the hustle and bustle of tropical island life, while others may prefer the popular beachfront spots that provide easy access to beachside dining and entertainment. Wherever you choose, there will be a host of restaurants, spas and shops within easy reach on Samui. No matter your preference, you can be sure Koh Samui has a villa to match and most rental agencies will gladly help you find the right property to suit your needs and expectations.
Something to Celebrate
A lot of people use private villas for events and functions nowadays and there are several event planning companies that specialise in private villa weddings. Experienced companies have a good network of service providers that can assist with everything from flower arrangements, catering, entertainment and photography. This means that within hours they can transform an ordinary villa into a beautiful venue, for a wedding, a private birthday party or a professional corporate function, all of which are becoming increasingly popular reasons for renting a private villa.
Spoilt of Choice
In terms of facilities, Koh Samui’s private villas now come in a vast range of layouts and designs. Some are quite modest and offer guests limited facilities, while others make even a five star resort look plain. Depending on the layout of the villa and whether it is a stand alone property or part of a larger development, most villas will have a private pool as a minimum. Other common facilities include a gym, TV lounge, fully equipped kitchen, games room and the latest audio visual systems so you can listen to your own music throughout the villa. If you’re in doubt as to the facilities in a specific villa, you can contact professional rental agency like Horizon Homes, who will be able to provide detailed information on each of the properties in their rental portfolio.
