Why We Recommend Finu @ Samui

At $180 per room per night for a true beachfront villa on Koh Samui, Finu @ Samui delivers extraordinary value that is difficult to match anywhere on the island. This four-bedroom retreat sits within the exclusive Kanda Residences estate in Bophut, where a U-shaped pavilion design frames a large terrace and infinity pool with unobstructed views across the Gulf of Thailand. The rate stays flat at $720 per night year-round except during the peak Christmas–New Year period, making it refreshingly simple to budget for. Estate perks sweeten the deal considerably: complimentary airport transfers, continental breakfast each morning, buggy service around the grounds, and access to the communal pool and gourmet restaurant. A multilingual guest manager fluent in English, French and Chinese is on hand throughout your stay, ensuring nothing gets lost in translation.

Our Favourite Features

Genuine beachfront position — a manicured lawn is all that separates the infinity pool from the sand, giving every bedroom and living space a direct sea outlook across the Gulf of Thailand.
Pavilion architecture with privacy — the U-shaped layout spreads four bedrooms across separate pavilions so couples and families each get their own wing, while the central terrace keeps everyone connected.
Master suite with double-ended bath — Pavilion 2 houses a king bedroom with walk-through wardrobe, oversized ensuite featuring a freestanding double-ended bathtub, and an outdoor rain shower among tropical greenery.
Breakfast and transfers included — daily continental breakfast is part of the rate, as are airport transfers each way, which saves roughly $50–80 in taxi fares and removes the hassle of arranging transport on arrival.
Chef service at fair prices — lunch is available at ingredient cost plus 20%, while evening dining with a private chef is just THB 1,000 per setting, making in-villa meals genuinely affordable rather than the premium add-on many villas charge.

Good To Know

Flat rate simplifies planning — unlike most Samui villas with three or four seasonal tiers, Finu charges $720 per night for ten and a half months of the year, rising to $1,200 only during the two-week Christmas–New Year peak.
Bedroom mix suits families well — two queen rooms in Pavilion 3 share a balcony overlooking the beach and work perfectly for older children or two couples, while the fourth bedroom converts between twin singles and a super-king.
Bophut location balances peace and access — the Kanda Residences estate is quiet and private, yet Fisherman’s Village with its restaurants, bars and Friday night walking street is a short drive away.
Service charge applies — a 10% service charge is added to the nightly rate, which covers the estate staff, housekeeping, and guest manager. There is no additional government tax on top.
Minimum three-night stay — the property requires a minimum booking of three nights across all seasons, which is shorter than the five or seven-night minimums common at comparable beachfront villas on the island.
