Villa Cabo occupies a hillside position on Koh Samui’s quieter west coast at Bang Po, and the views alone justify the trip. From the infinity pool, the terrace, and every bedroom, you are looking out across the Gulf of Thailand towards Koh Phangan, Koh Tao, and the limestone peaks of Ang Thong Marine Park. It is the kind of panorama that stops conversation.

This is a four-bedroom villa with a layout designed around those views. The open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area opens onto a wide terrace with the infinity pool as its centrepiece. Beyond the main living spaces, there is a dedicated movie room for rainy afternoons and a yoga studio — two features that show this villa was designed for more than just sleeping and eating. All four bedrooms are en-suite with sea views, and the interiors have a clean, contemporary feel that lets the scenery do the talking.

Why We Recommend Villa Cabo

At $350 per night for four bedrooms with full-time staff including a private chef, Villa Cabo is outstanding value for what you get. The per-room cost works out to under $90, which is less than most mid-range hotels on Samui — and no hotel room gives you an infinity pool with views across three islands. The staff deserve particular mention: a full-time chef prepares meals tailored to your preferences (you pay for groceries, not the cooking), and the housekeeping team keeps the villa immaculate. Bang Po is a quieter, less touristy part of the island, which appeals to travellers looking for genuine relaxation rather than beach-bar nightlife.

Our Favourite Features

The infinity pool overlooking Ang Thong Marine Park is one of the best pool views we have seen on Koh Samui
Every bedroom has a sea view — no one in your group gets stuck with the garden-facing room
Full-time chef preparing meals to your taste — the Thai cooking is excellent, and the convenience of eating in with this view is hard to beat
Dedicated yoga studio for morning practice with an ocean backdrop
The movie room is a genuine bonus for evenings or days when the weather turns

Good To Know

Bang Po is on the west coast, which is quieter and less developed than Chaweng or Lamai. You will need a car or scooter for nightlife, shopping, or restaurant variety
The hillside location means stairs — not ideal for guests with mobility issues
Sunsets from the west coast are spectacular, but morning sun hits later than the east coast. If you are an early-morning pool swimmer, keep that in mind
The chef is included in the rate — take full advantage. Ask them to cook traditional Thai dishes, which is where they excel

For a Koh Samui villa with jaw-dropping island views, an infinity pool, private chef, and genuine peace and quiet, Villa Cabo on the west coast is a standout at this price.
