The Location: Bird’s Eye View
Kelapa House and its 17m infinity pool face Chaweng Noi Beach, offering expansive views of the crystal-clear waters and the distant islands. This luxury villa gets its name from the trees nearby; Kelapa means coconut in the Malay language. Enjoy a treetop view from every corner of the house, and feel almost like you’re a bird in the sky.
Though it might feel like you’re detached from Samui’s buzzing scene, you’re only a short drive to the best of Chaweng’s dining and lifestyle attractions. The villa is close to the Central Samui shopping mall, so you can stock up on souvenirs or anything you’ll need while on vacation. Plus, there’s a wonderful mix of cafes, restaurants and beach clubs to hit up depending on your mood. Taking a leaf out of The White Lotus, you can also sign up for private yacht trips from the nearby marina.
But we won’t be surprised if you’d rather spend most of the time in the villa. Swim a few leisurely laps in the infinity pool, which features a viewing window that frames the spectacular views. It’s easy to imagine the super-spy 007 having a quiet moment here, before he flies off to another exotic destination. You can also have a martini shaken, not stirred like Bond, and admire the cinematic sunset views.
The Design: World-Class Architecture
Designed by A49 to blend into its spectacular surroundings, this glass house appears to float above the hill slopes. Guests are greeted by a Koi fish pond and are invited to explore a series of multi-storey buildings linked by beautiful wooden decks.
The ceiling and decking are clad in local Balau wood, as a nod to the villa’s tropical context. You’ll love the stylish living and dining areas, which are tastefully furnished with B&B Italia, Poltrona Frau and more European designer brands.

Seek out the spa pavilion to enjoy a relaxing private massage or workout in style at the private gym fitted with Technogym equipment. The gym also connects to a Finnish-style wooden sauna, as well as a sleek workspace; perfect for digital nomads to plug in, when they need to.
The movie room is one of the most impressive spaces in the villa. This high-ceiling room is so chic, it can easily double up as a cocktail lounge. Hang out with your entourage on the generously-sized plush sofas, with the curtains open to admire the spectacular sights of the ocean and beyond. When the night falls, switch on the projector and catch a film with your pals while enjoying your drinks and snacks in the comforts of this private cinema.
When it’s time for slumber, retreat to the comforts of your bedroom. All four ensuite rooms in Kelapa House are designed in the style of a luxury hotel suite, complete with its own bathroom, king-size bed and a convenient space for your luggage next to the work desk and chair. Each room is also cleverly orientated to make the most of the villa’s hilltop location, so you’ll wake up to sweeping views of the mountain and the sea everyday.
Two bedrooms are located in the main building, while two other bedrooms are located on the lower levels in an adjacent building and have access to a shared pantry, dining and lounge area on the ground floor.
