The four-bedroom villa has been laid out in a way that is ideal for both families and groups of adults looking for a quiet tropical location with a safe white-sand beach, matched with a luxury designer property.

Ban Laem Sor villa Koh Samui's living pavilion is located closest to the beach, and features tasteful modern bamboo furniture arranged around a flat-screen TV with Satellite and DVD player. Big picture windows and double doors that open onto the terrace fuse the comfortable air-conditioned space with its environment.

Situated slightly further back are two more pavilions, one which contains the contemporary, fully equipped kitchen and dining table, where guests can either prepare their own food or use the services of an on-call chef versed in both Thai and Western food. The other pavilion houses two of the bedrooms, both of which are en-suite with double beds.

The final pavilion has two more bedrooms - one twin and one double - which both share a bathroom. Priority has once again been given to outdoor living and the pavilion has expansive doors that give way to the property's gardens and deck.

A private pool surrounded by comfortable sun loungers and a large covered Sala provide ample outside space both in the sun and in the shade, all just steps away from the lapping tide line. Local fishermen pulling their long-tail boats to and from the water complete Ban Laem Sor villa Koh Samui's gentle vision of barefoot luxury.

Who should go?
Our advice: Ban Laem Sor villa Koh Samui is well suited to both families and groups of adults looking for a stylish property that captures a real sense of indoor/outdoor living. The island's livelier nightlife spots are a fair distance away, which means the area attracts a more discerning clientele. The flat, calm beach is safe for swimming all year round, and is ideal for children.

When to go?
Dry and pleasant weather is usually experienced between December and June, so this is the best time to visit Koh Samui. For July and August, the weather is generally pleasant but can be unpredictable at times. September and October usually see heavy rains on the island. Temperatures average around 27ºC all year round.

Where is it?
Ban Laem Sor villa Koh Samui is located on the island's south coast, with stunning views over the beach and neighboring islands. The area is quiet, with a beautiful beach and little other development. Lamai is the nearest town and can be reached in 15 minutes, while the airport is 35 minutes away.

What's not to be missed?
Swim, snorkel and dive in Samui's pristine waters. Take a boat tour around Koh Samui's outer islands and National Marine Park. Enjoy some of the best views the island has to offer from Ban Laem Sor villa Koh Samui's private terrace. Witness the beach's summer tide phenomenon, when the sea retracts 100 meters from the tide line.
