Villa Tasanee

Villa Tasanee enjoys a privileged hillside location overlooking a coral cove and picture-perfect beach, with private beach access on the exquisite island of Koh Samui.

Koh Samui is the third largest island in Thailand and is the perfect size to ensure a tranquil holiday: small enough to retain its charm and character, yet large enough to benefit from a range of high-class bars, restaurants, shops, recreational pursuits, spas, retreats and more – so you can enjoy the facilities of a much larger island without the crowds!

Tucked away in an idyllic corner in the north-east is the dazzling resort of Samujana! This is the dream holiday destination for those looking for an adventure! In the water which surrounds this fabulous resort, you can water-ski or snorkel from our luxury 43 ft. Catamaran ‘Kindred Spirit’, which can be chartered upon request, or head over to Koh Tao, one of the world’s best diving spots, and explore mesmerising coral reefs up close!

Throughout the island you can explore temples, waterfalls and vibrant markets, zip line through the jungle, go on ATV safaris or to a Thai boxing tournament, try bungee jumping, indulge at a rum distillery, lounge on some of the world’s best beaches, or even visit the Big Buddha and the mummified monks for an unforgettable day trip! For a calmer day out, the Santiburi Golf and Country Club is unique for its beauty and will provide you with the relaxing day you’ll crave after all this excitement.

The island is easily accessed from local airports: there are direct daily flights from Bangkok, Phuket, Singapore, Hong Kong and Kuala Lumpur. There’s also a regular ferry service.
