Villa Shades of Blue
Why We Recommend Villa Shades of Blue
Perched on the hillside of Plai Laem – often called the “Beverly Hills” of Koh Samui – Villa Shades of Blue is a striking three-storey contemporary retreat that delivers panoramic ocean views from almost every room. At just $50-$100 per bedroom per night for four ensuite bedrooms sleeping eight guests, it represents outstanding value for a sea-view villa in one of the island’s most prestigious neighbourhoods. The infinity pool seems to merge with the ocean below, the transparent glass terrace off the master suite creates the sensation of floating above the treetops, and thoughtful extras like a dedicated massage room and a family entertainment room with foosball and bean bags make this villa equally suited to couples seeking romance and families travelling with children. Plai Laem’s location is hard to beat: five minutes to the nearest beach, ten minutes to the airport, and an easy drive to both Fisherman’s Village and Chaweng’s Central Festival mall.
What Makes It Special
Infinity pool with ocean panorama
The 6m x 3m pool is framed by blue sun loungers and overlooks a sweeping view of the Gulf of Thailand, making sunset drinks here genuinely memorable.
Transparent glass master terrace
The master suite’s private terrace features a glass-panel floor that gives the illusion of floating above the lush hillside canopy below.
Dedicated massage room
A fully equipped spa room on the ground floor means you can book an in-villa Thai massage without rearranging furniture or sacrificing privacy.
Family entertainment room
The ground floor doubles as a self-contained hangout with a pull-down queen bed, flat-screen TV, foosball table, and bean bags – ideal for kids or a private cinema night.
Complimentary airport transfer
One round-trip airport pickup is included in every booking, which is a rare perk at this price point and takes the stress out of arrival day.
Before You Book
Hillside location
The three-storey layout means stairs are part of daily life here.
The design is
The design is beautiful, but guests with limited mobility should be aware there is no lift.
Maid service twice weekly
Housekeeping visits twice a week rather than daily, which suits guests who value privacy but means you may need to tidy between visits.
Chef service at extra cost
A private chef can be arranged for around 1,500 THB per session, but this is not included in the nightly rate.
Local Area
Plai Laem also has excellent local restaurants within a short drive.
Minimum stay required
Most seasons require a minimum five-night booking, so this villa works best for guests planning a proper week-long Koh Samui escape rather than a quick weekend stopover.
Construction noise possible
The area is experiencing some daytime construction activity.
This is reflected
This is reflected in current promotional pricing, making it a smart time to book if you plan to spend most daylight hours at the beach or exploring the island.
