Villa Tranquil Residence 3
Why We Recommend Villa Tranquil Residence 3
Perched in the lush hills above Lamai, Tranquil Residence 3 delivers sweeping 180-degree sea views that most Koh Samui villas at this price point simply cannot match. At $100-150 per night for two bedrooms sleeping four guests, it works out to just $50-75 per person per night — remarkable value for a hillside retreat with panoramic ocean vistas, a fully equipped kitchen, and attentive on-site staff. The residence sits within a small, well-maintained complex in the Maret hills, offering a sense of exclusivity and calm that feels worlds away from the busier coastal strips, yet Lamai Beach is only a five-minute drive downhill. For couples travelling together or a small family wanting a stylish, affordable base with genuine wow-factor views, this is one of the strongest options on the island.
What Makes It Special
Panoramic sea views from every room
the elevated hillside position gives this residence uninterrupted 180-degree views across the Gulf of Thailand, best enjoyed from the private terrace at sunset with a drink in hand.
King Bedrooms
both bedrooms feature king-sized beds and their own bathrooms fitted with tropical rain showers, giving each couple complete privacy and space.
Fully Equipped Kitchen
ideal for preparing breakfasts or light meals at home, which helps stretch the budget further and makes longer stays of a week or more very comfortable.
Secure Estate
a dedicated guest manager (fluent in English, French, and Chinese) handles restaurant bookings, tour arrangements, and car rentals, while round-the-clock security provides peace of mind.
Private Pool
the complex offers both a swimming pool for proper laps and a plunge pool for cooling off, complementing the private terrace perfectly on lazy afternoons between excursions.
Before You Book
Getting Around
the residence is a five-minute drive above Lamai Beach rather than beachfront. A scooter or car rental (easily arranged through the guest manager) is essential for daily beach trips and dining out.
Seven-night minimum stay
all bookings require a minimum of seven nights across every season, so this works best for week-long holidays rather than short stopovers.
Lamai Beach is 700 metres away
while the distance is short, the hillside road means walking down is manageable but walking back up in the tropical heat is less appealing. Most guests opt to drive.
Villa Layout
the apartment is thoughtfully laid out with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, though the living and kitchen area is cosier than a standalone villa. The expansive terrace and views more than compensate.
Airport is a 20-minute drive
Samui International Airport (USM) is 15 km away, and the guest manager can arrange airport transfers. Chaweng Beach and its nightlife are just 15 minutes in the other direction.
