Palm Vista is a new, private-pool luxury retreat nestled in the low hills near Bangrak and Big Buddha beaches, just minutes away from the most popular attractions and tranquil beaches. The location is perfect for guests looking for seclusion, but still close to all the action: Easy access to Fisherman's Village with its beach vibe and wide selection of international-standard bars, restaurants, beaches, and boutique shopping; minutes away from Koh Samui’s international Airport, and the island’s main shopping attractions; 5 minutes takes you to the piers for travel to neighboring islands, and just a 10-minute drive finds you in the hub and nightlife of Chaweng. Please note that the villa is on a hill and therefore may not be suitable for the elderly or infirm.

Originally from Seattle, WA, USA, I moved to Europe and settled in Prague, Czech Republic. Then in 2016, along with my Czech wife and 3-year-old son, we moved to Thailand and have made it our home. We love the challenge of change, the clean air, restful atmosphere, beautiful beaches, and kind people in Koh Samui. Since we've lived in and know the areas where our properties are on offer, we're eager to share our knowledge and recommendations, so our guests can take full advantage of their surroundings. To that end, when you arrive, please take advantage of our personalised Samui guidebook, where we share all our secret spots...welcome!

Bangrak is arguably one of the most centrally-located areas on Koh Samui, and is home to many restaurants, bars and shops. At the same time, the villa is located off the busy street in a peaceful setting without the distraction of through traffic. The main Bangrak beach-front street is only a 3-minute drive (10-minute walk) from the villa, as are 7-11 and Family Mart stores, offering items to serve most daily needs. In addition, numerous smaller shops and local fruit and vegetable sellers are just a few minutes’ walk away. Major grocery shopping centres, including Tesco, are just a 6-minute drive from the villa, as is one of Koh Samui's 2 Starbucks coffee shops...enjoy! ;-) Where and when is the construction happening? The owner of the land across the street from our villa is building a house starting December, 2021, and the construction will last approximately 1 year. The construction doesn't affect our villa directly, but there will be work activity during the daytime (8-5pm). Because the neighborhood is growing, it will also change the view we have of the surroundings. We are offering our guests deep discounts for the inconvenience, making the villa a great value.
