Villa Tenament

Villa Tenament takes a quietly commanding position on the hillside above Chaweng Noi, where Koh Samui’s eastern coast curves into a succession of sheltered bays. Built recently to a striking contemporary design, it sets itself apart with a sculptural curved roof drawn from organic natural forms — a bold choice among the island’s more conventional box-style builds. Step inside and floor-to-ceiling glass draws the eye across the Gulf of Thailand, the private infinity pool appearing to merge with the ocean below. At 348 square metres it gives genuine space for up to six without ever feeling cavernous.

The interior is arranged around a single bright open-plan living area where kitchen, dining and lounge flow together beneath those sweeping glass walls, the kitchen fully equipped for guests who would rather not eat out every night. All three bedrooms are en-suite: the master at the front commands a wide sea panorama, the second takes its own ocean angle, and the third tucks into a quieter corner for a more secluded retreat. Throughout, the design is clean and restrained — white surfaces, natural textures and plenty of light over anything fussy.

Chaweng Noi occupies a sweet spot on the east coast, just south of the main Chaweng strip — close enough for the island’s liveliest restaurants and nightlife, far enough to feel genuinely peaceful. Crystal Bay and Chaweng Noi Beach are both within a kilometre, the acclaimed Dining on the Rocks at Six Senses a short drive along the headland, and the airport only fifteen minutes away with complimentary round-trip transfers included. It is managed by Sunshine Samui Villas — named Thailand’s Best Villa Rental Company by LuxLife in 2025 and IE100’s Luxury Villa Rental Company of the Year for 2026 — so the concierge support is genuinely reliable.
