Why We Recommend Villa Spice

Villa Spice is the most family-friendly of the three villas at Lime Samui Estate in the Nathon hills. The five bedrooms include a dedicated children’s room with two large beds and its own bathroom, and the double-height master suite has a mezzanine office that can serve as a sixth sleeping space if needed. At US$250 per room per night in low season for up to 16 guests, the capacity-to-cost ratio is excellent. What sets Spice apart from its neighbours is the Infinity Lawn — a large flat terrace with panoramic ocean views that doubles as a wedding venue. If you are planning an event or celebration during your stay, this is the villa to book. The five-level design with sunken lounge, infinity pool, and al fresco dining gives each area of the villa a distinct character, so it never feels like one big open room.

Our Favourite Features

Dedicated children’s bedroom with two large beds and its own bathroom — a thoughtful touch that means families do not have to compromise on room allocation or sacrifice an adult suite
Infinity Lawn with panoramic ocean views — large enough to host a wedding or celebration, and the sunset backdrop over the Gulf of Thailand is exceptional
Dining table carved from a single piece of acacia wood — a genuine statement piece that seats the full group comfortably and makes every meal feel like an occasion
Sunken lounge off the main living area — creates a cosy, contained space for evening drinks or movie nights that feels separate from the open-plan entertaining areas
Dual kitchens including a professional staff kitchen — the resident Thai chef can prepare meals without disrupting the main living space, and the primary kitchen is still available for guests who enjoy cooking

Good To Know

The five-level layout involves stairs between floors — not ideal for guests with mobility issues, though the design does keep noise well separated between bedrooms
Nathon on the west coast is quiet and residential — ideal for a private retreat but 30 minutes by car from the Chaweng and Lamai beach and nightlife areas
Sister villas Splash and Zest are on the same estate — if your event or group exceeds 16 guests, booking an additional villa next door is straightforward
Peak season pricing at US$2,250 per night is nearly double the low season rate of US$1,250 — book Christmas and New Year dates well in advance
The mezzanine office in the master suite can function as an extra bedroom — useful for families but it is an open mezzanine rather than a fully enclosed room, so light sleepers should be aware
