Villa Namo is a modern two-bedroom villa at the foot of Koh Samui’s lesser-known White Buddha in Chaweng, and at $170 per night it might be the best value villa we have come across on the island. This is not a bare-bones budget option — it is a properly designed contemporary property with floor-to-ceiling glass, a family-sized pool steps from the living room, king-size beds, rain showers, and a rooftop terrace with sunset views over Chaweng Bay.

The open-plan living and dining area is flooded with natural light through those floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding doors, and it steps directly onto the poolside patio. The two bedrooms are generously sized with en-suite bathrooms: the rear bedroom overlooks a lush garden while the front bedroom faces the pool. The Western-style kitchen is fully equipped for proper cooking, not just reheating — and if you want to take a night off, a private chef can be arranged.

Why We Recommend Villa Namo

The per-night rate of $170 for a two-bedroom villa of this quality is genuinely remarkable. For couples sharing, that is $85 per room — less than most decent hotel rooms on Chaweng, and you get a private pool, a full kitchen, and a rooftop terrace that hotel guests would pay a premium supplement for. The Chaweng location puts you close to the island’s best beach, restaurants, and nightlife without being in the thick of the noise. The staff are attentive and helpful with local recommendations and activity arrangements.

Good To Know

This is a two-bedroom villa, so it suits couples or a small family rather than larger groups
Chaweng is the busiest part of Koh Samui — the villa itself is peaceful but the neighbourhood has plenty of action if you want it
Private chef is an additional cost but worth considering for at least one Thai cooking evening at the villa
You will want a scooter or car for exploring the rest of the island. The villa can help arrange rentals

For an affordable, well-designed Koh Samui villa with a private pool, rooftop sunset terrace, and a Chaweng location, Villa Namo offers extraordinary value for money.
