Why We Recommend Villa Tiga

Perched across three levels in the Chaweng Hills, Villa Tiga earns its place among Koh Samui’s finest with a combination that is genuinely hard to match: an 85 sqm infinity pool — one of the largest private pools on the island — and uninterrupted 180-degree bay views from every bedroom. At $125–200 per room per night, or $63–100 per person when shared across eight guests, you are getting a serious architectural villa with top-rated service at a price that holds up against far lesser properties. Six guest reviews have given it a perfect 10 out of 10, with visitors using words like “mind blowing” to describe the views alone.

The detail that separates Villa Tiga from comparable hillside properties is the master bedroom’s private plunge pool on the balcony — a rare feature that elevates the lead couple’s experience well beyond a standard ocean-view suite. Add daily continental breakfast, a one-way airport transfer, and a multilingual villa manager fluent in English, French, and Chinese, and the included extras alone justify choosing this over villas at a similar price point. Private chef dinners are available at 1,500 THB per setting plus groceries, and covered parking is on-site for groups arriving by car.

Our Favourite Features

The 85 sqm (17m x 5m) infinity pool is one of the largest private pools on Koh Samui — genuinely big enough to swim laps, not just float
The master bedroom has its own private plunge pool on the balcony with direct bay views — a rare differentiator at this price point
All four bedrooms face the ocean, so there are no second-tier rooms — every guest gets the same view
Two koi ponds flank a traditional Thai pavilion with a sunken lounging area — a serene garden space that feels separate from the main pool terrace
The floating staircase connecting the three levels is an architectural statement that sets the tone the moment you arrive

Good To Know

The access road is steep and narrow — a 4x4 or SUV is strongly recommended during the wet season (October to December)
The ground floor bedroom has direct pool access, making it the best option for guests with limited mobility or families with younger children
Private chef dinner service is available at 1,500 THB per setting plus the cost of groceries — budget roughly 500–1,000 THB per person for a full dinner spread
Chaweng Beach is 2.5km away (around 12 minutes by car), so this is a pool-and-views villa first — not a walk-to-beach option
With only six reviews on record, the perfect 10/10 score is encouraging but based on a small sample — the quality is consistent, but it is worth noting the villa does not yet have the review volume of long-established properties
