Why We Recommend Villa Ama Lur
Villa Ama Lur is a genuine beachfront property on Tong Krut Beach in Taling Ngam — one of the quietest and least developed stretches of Koh Samui’s coastline. At US$200 per room per night in low season for five en-suite bedrooms, the standout feature is two beachfront pavilion bedrooms with direct sand access, something very few villas on the island can offer. The infinity pool is positioned to blend visually with the Gulf of Thailand, and the property blends modern design with traditional Thai architectural details in a way that feels considered rather than decorative. Taling Ngam is the southwest corner of Samui, far from the tourist density of Chaweng, which makes this villa a strong choice for guests who want beach and privacy over nightlife and convenience.
Our Favourite Features
- Two beachfront pavilion bedrooms with direct beach access — you can step from your bedroom onto Tong Krut Beach, a level of proximity that most Samui villas cannot match
- Infinity pool that visually merges with the Gulf of Thailand — positioned at the right elevation to create a seamless horizon line, particularly striking at sunset
- Taling Ngam is one of the most peaceful areas of Koh Samui — no beach hawkers, no crowds, just a quiet stretch of sand and the sound of waves
- Tropical entrance gardens with water features — the arrival experience sets the tone immediately and gives the property a resort-quality first impression
- Private chef who tailors meals to your preferences — essential in Taling Ngam where restaurant options are limited, and the quality of in-villa dining here is excellent
Good To Know
- Taling Ngam is remote by Koh Samui standards — Chaweng is 40+ minutes away by car, and there are very few restaurants or shops within walking distance of the villa
- Tong Krut Beach is a natural, undeveloped beach — beautiful and quiet, but there are no beach clubs, sun lounger rentals, or waterfront bars nearby
- Peak season rates double to US$2,000 per night from US$1,000 in low season — plan and book early for Christmas and New Year dates
- The private chef is important here because dining out requires a car journey — budget to eat most meals in-villa rather than planning to explore restaurants each evening
- The southwest coast catches the best sunsets on the island — if sunset views matter to you, Taling Ngam delivers better than the popular east coast beaches
