Why We Recommend Villa Luaana

Tucked inside the exclusive CasaVela beachfront complex on Koh Samui’s serene southeastern coast, Villa Luaana is a stylish 2-bedroom ground-floor retreat that delivers resort-grade living at a remarkably accessible price point. At just $70 per room per night in low season, this 155-square-metre apartment offers the kind of ocean-facing luxury that typically comes at two or three times the cost elsewhere on the island. The Laem Set location is key — far enough from the tourist hubs of Chaweng and Lamai to feel genuinely peaceful, yet only a 15-minute drive from the best dining and nightlife the island has to offer.

What sets Luaana apart from other Koh Samui holiday rentals in this price range is the sheer quality of the finish and the resort amenities that come included. You get access to three cascading infinity pools, a fully equipped fitness centre, a children’s playroom, and direct beach access — all wrapped into a rate that many travellers would expect to pay for a basic hotel room. The European-style kitchen and generous open-plan living area make this villa particularly well suited to couples travelling together or a small family looking for a home-away-from-home base on the island.

The master suite deserves special mention: a king-size bed facing the ocean, a spa-inspired en-suite with double vanities, a walk-in rain shower, and a deep soaking tub that makes every evening feel like a five-star retreat. With a multilingual guest manager on hand and weekly housekeeping included, Villa Luaana strikes that rare balance between self-catering independence and the service standards of a premium resort.

Our Favourite Features

Ocean views from the living room and master bedroom — the ground-floor position means you step straight out onto a private balcony overlooking the Gulf of Thailand, with sunrise views that are worth the trip alone.
Three cascading swimming pools — shared across the CasaVela complex, these pools cascade down the hillside toward the beach and are never crowded, giving the feel of a private resort.
Spa-quality master en-suite — double vanities, a walk-in rain shower, and a deep soaking tub create a genuinely luxurious bathroom experience that elevates the whole stay.
Fully equipped European kitchen — a proper kitchen with quality appliances, ideal for preparing meals with ingredients from the nearby Laem Set and Hua Thanon markets, two of the most authentic local markets on the island.
Laem Set’s quiet beachfront setting — direct beach access leads to one of Koh Samui’s most peaceful stretches of coastline, perfect for morning walks, kayaking, and watching the sun rise over the Gulf of Thailand.

Good To Know

Minimum 5-night stay required — this villa is best suited to guests planning a proper island escape rather than a quick weekend stopover.
The beach is scenic rather than swimming-friendly — Laem Set Beach is beautiful for walks and views but has a rocky shoreline, so the pools are your best bet for swimming. Excellent swimming beaches are a 10-minute drive away.
Weekly housekeeping included — cleaning, linen changes, and pool towels are provided once per week. Additional cleaning sessions can be arranged at extra cost.
Approximately 40 minutes from Samui Airport — the southeastern location is quiet and secluded, but transfers take longer than villas on the north coast. Airport transfers can be arranged through the guest manager.
17% tax and service applies — a 10% service charge and 7% government tax are added to the nightly rate, which is standard for Koh Samui holiday rentals.
