Why We Recommend Villa Hin Butik
Perched on a Chaweng Noi hillside with sweeping views across the Gulf of Thailand, Villa Hin Butik is a striking architectural statement built around two soaring A-frame pavilions connected by open courtyards and gardens. The four-bedroom, five-bathroom property sleeps eight guests, and at $550 per night in low season that works out to just $138 per room — remarkable value for a fully staffed hilltop villa with daily continental breakfast, airport transfers, and one of the most dramatic infinity pools on Koh Samui. The bold twin-pavilion design creates a sense of living in two interconnected treehouses, with double-height glass walls that frame ocean panoramas from almost every room.
What makes Villa Hin Butik genuinely special is the way architecture and landscape work together. Natural stone, exposed timber, and industrial-style floating staircases give each pavilion real character, while the outdoor spaces between them — shaded lounges, a courtyard with natural boulders, and a European-standard kitchen — make the most of the tropical setting. The master suite deserves particular mention: a freestanding bathtub positioned directly in front of floor-to-ceiling glass with uninterrupted ocean views is the kind of detail that elevates a holiday from good to unforgettable.

Good To Know
- Located in the Chaweng Noi hills, approximately 3km from Chaweng Beach and the main strip — a car or scooter is essential for getting around the island
- Airport transfers are included in the rate, and Samui Airport is about 10km away so you can be poolside within 25 minutes of landing
- Continental breakfast is included daily, served in the main pavilion or by the pool — no private chef by default, but the fully equipped kitchen makes self-catering easy
- The multi-level layout with stairs between floors and across pavilions is best suited for adults or families with older children rather than toddlers
- 17% tax and service applies on top of published rates (7% government tax + 10% service charge), which is standard for Koh Samui villas
