Two beachfront villas, one unforgettable stay — Hinta Hinyai Beach Villas in Koh Samui, where sea views stretch wide and days end with sunset cinema nights.
The best holidays have a quality that is difficult to define: a sense that the place has been waiting for you. With a stunning oceanfront view, sea-view bedrooms and a private stretch of Koh Samui coastline, the dreamy surrounds of Hinta Hinyai Beach Villas offers that feeling of deja vu.
Perched by the rocks, these two adjacent villas — Baan Hinta and Baan Hinyai — were made for people who believe that holidays should be indulgent, but not in a stuffy, don’t-touch-the-soft-furnishings way. This is just the place to enjoy slow swims, meals prepared by an incredible private chef, and three glasses of rose by the beach before noon (only and when you want them).
Together, the property holds 10 bedrooms across two beautifully appointed homes. Close enough to share a laugh across the terrace, but spread out enough that you’ll never feel like you’re intruding. Think of it as having your own private resort, minus the resort pricing, and the strangers at the pool. Want to see more? Here’s a complete lowdown of this Samui gem.

The Location: Beachfront Beauty in Lamai
Hinya Hintai Beach Villas sit quietly along Koh Samui’s Lamai–Hua Thanon coast, where nature does most of the talking. The beachfront villas are framed by granite boulders and coconut palms, facing an uninterrupted sweep of sea.
Lamai Beach is just steps away, with some of the island’s most interesting local experiences within easy reach. A few of our favourites include the Hin Ta & Hin Yai (Grandfather & Grandmother Rocks), which the villas take their name from. Just 850m from the villas, these ancient granite formations at Lamai Beach are one of Koh Samui’s most enduring landmarks — shaped by wind and water over millennia. Make the visit to find out the cheeky meaning behind their names; worth a quiet early morning visit before the day warms up.

Hungry for more Thai food, outside of the in-villa menu? Sabienglae Restaurant (400m away) is a beloved local institution right on Lamai beach, serving fresh southern Thai seafood at great prices. Simple setting, exceptional food; exactly as it should be.
For activities, the Samui Elephant Sanctuary (4.8km away) comes highly recommended. Rescued elephants here are looked after with genuine care and expertise; this is particularly popular with younger guests.
From the Lamai/Chaweng area, Fisherman’s Village (16.1km away) is a 20–25 minute drive from the villas. Enjoy tasting everything from authentic Southern Thai dishes and grilled seafood feasts to comforting pasta and pizza baked from a wood-fired oven. Every other evening the entire area becomes a walking street market; perfect for souvenir shopping, and bringing a memento of your island adventures back home. Another tip: visit the locations featured in The White Lotus Season 3 for a taste of that on-screen glamour.

The Design: Ready to Rock
“So I’ve stopped doomscrolling, started drinking coconut milkshakes from 9am and I’m wondering why I don’t live like this all the time,” you might be typing to your group chat by Day 2.
Baan Hinya sets the tone with a sprawling, open-plan living space that flows straight out to the pool. High ceilings, tropical timber, spacious rooms, and a bathtub in every bedroom — just the place where long soaks in the tub are part of the holiday plans. Next door, Baan Hintai offers the same level of finish — assuring you that you’ve made excellent life decisions.
The two villas share a garden and a general sense that life is good: each villa has its own infinity pool and an open-air living and dining area, and generously-sized rooms. Booked together, the properties become a huge 10-bedroom compound with enough space to gather your entire entourage, be it a multigenerational family holiday or a group of friends gathering for an overdue reunion.

Families will love having separate sleeping quarters for different generations, with each bedroom uniquely shaped by the rugged granite rocks in the area. Groups will appreciate the ability to have two simultaneous parties: one for the night owls, one for the people who claim they’ll be up at 6am to watch the sunrise (they probably won’t, but it’s nice to have the option).
The Amenities: Sandy Shores and Poolside Indulgence
Days are deliberately unhurried here, if you can’t already tell. Start your mornings with coffee overlooking the Gulf of Thailand. Move between shaded loungers and leisurely swims, and get that tan in. Kayaks and SUP boards offer quiet coastal exploration, while a table tennis area keeps energy levels high when needed.
The estate’s infinity pools — including a child-friendly shallow section — invite long stretches of the art of doing nothing. Later, Baan Hinta’s poolside projector screen flickers to life for films beneath the stars, with the waves rolling in just metres away.

The Service: Private Chef Included
These two adjacent villas were designed for those who travel with people they love — and who believe a holiday should be as generous as the company. Evenings are equally unforgettable, with each villa’s private chef preparing tailored dinners, served in the open-plan dining rooms.
The design excellence is matched by discreet, attentive service. Each five-bedroom property has a dedicated team led by a villa manager, who ensures every detail is taken care of. Daily housekeeping is included, along with complimentary breakfast, so that you start your day great, every day.
Family Extras: Everyone Wins
Travelling with kids used to mean compromising on style, but not here. The twin-villa setup and the shallow pool area means the little ones get their time to splash while the grown-ups claim the pool terrace and relaxed living room.
Koh Samui’s gentle pace suits families to a tee: think waterfalls, local markets, and beaches calm enough to actually relax on. Come back to the villa for a home-cooked Thai feast from your private chef, and somehow everyone goes to bed happy. Your only job is to show up; our team will handle the rest.
