Luxury Villas in Choeng Mon

Choeng Mon sits on the north-eastern tip of Koh Samui, a gentle crescent of soft white sand framed by wooded headlands. The bay is sheltered and the water shallow and calm for much of the year, which has made it one of the island’s favourite beaches for families and for anyone who prefers a peaceful swim to the busier east coast. Just offshore, the small wooded island of Koh Fan Noi completes the view.

Around the main bay, the coastline breaks into a series of smaller coves and headlands. Tongsai Bay lies just to the east, a secluded inlet with clear water, and to the west the coast runs past Yai Noi and Samrong towards Plai Laem and the Big Buddha. The roads that wind over the headlands between them are lined with tropical gardens and private homes, and the whole area keeps a quiet, residential feel.

Villas here are found both close to the beach and on the hillsides above the bays, where the views look out over the Gulf of Thailand towards Koh Phangan. Many sit in peaceful spots surrounded by greenery, yet the beachfront restaurants of Choeng Mon are only a few minutes away, and the evenings are calm and unhurried.

Choeng Mon is also very well placed. Samui International Airport is usually around ten minutes away, the restaurants and shops of Chaweng are a short drive south, and Fisherman’s Village in Bophut is around fifteen minutes west. It works especially well for families with young children and for couples who want a tranquil bay with everything else close at hand.
