Matching exclusivity with privacy, Miskawaan's collection of 8 private luxury villas offers the ultimate in an island vacation experience. Despite its idyllic location on Mae Nam Beach, the property is only ten minutes from the Koh Samui's top-rated restaurants and thriving nightlife.

The exclusive estate is attractively laid out along a pristine expanse of sands surrounded by lush palm-dotted landscaping. The villa architecture presents a stunning blend of contemporary comforts with the traditional grace of Asian design motifs. All Miskawaan villas come with their personal villa manager and housekeeping team to ensure guests enjoy a truly relaxed vacation.

Offering three to five bedrooms, each villa is individually designed with direct access to the beach. Bedrooms feature polished teakwood furnishings, lofty ceilings and open-air showers. Interiors are tastefully appointed, including a stylish vaulted living room with state-of-the art entertainment system as well as an expansive fully-equipped kitchen. Whether used as a spot for alfresco dining or simply for soothing massages, the shaded pavilions make an inviting space beside the blue-tiled saltwater pool.

Most guests are probably contented with indulging in the unobstructed sea views and sipping refreshing cocktails by the poolside. However, for those desiring a break from the laidback lifestyle, there is an abundance of activities and excursions on and off the island. Excellent diving and snorkeling opportunities beckon at the nearby islands, whereas Koh Samui's forested interior is great for hiking and elephant trekking adventures.

For travelers seeking a homely yet lavish experience on Koh Samui, Miskawaan's luxurious private villas are hard to match.
