Samujana Luxury Villas is an award winning resort, widely regarded as one of the most prestigious estates on Koh Samui. Located on the north east coast, it overlooks a beautiful coral bay and boasts stunning, architect designed villas dripping with luxury features, uninterrupted sea views and an all but private beach. It’s a truly spectacular travel destination, and you might be forgiven for not wanting to set foot outside the complex for the duration of your stay. However, if you do, it’s just minutes away from the stunning beaches of Choeng Mon and Chaweng. Singapore Airlines offer flights from Gatwick to Koh Samui via Singapore, while Samujana itself is located less than 10 minutes’ drive from Koh Samui airport.
The Estate
First launched in 2012, this luxurious and much sought-after resort is the result of the hard work and vision of a team of architects led by the award-winning Gary Fell. Each villa is unique and individually designed, with great care taken to use locally sourced materials and to create a feeling of openness and harmony with the natural environment, a feature reinforced by the fact that many of the living spaces have been left open to the elements. Opulence is also very much in evidence, and every villa boasts spacious air-conditioned bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, oversized bathtubs, TV lounges or private cinemas (with international channels available) and complimentary Wi-Fi. Guests will also be able to choose from 8 streaming music mood channels exclusively created for Samujana by Music Eye View. In addition to this, guests will also enjoy in-villa dining menus, dedicated villa staff, rooftop terraces or gardens, a private infinity pool and stunning, panoramic sea views. There is a wealth of wonderful programmes year-round from the Songkran celebrations at Thai New Year to the unique Yoga and Muay Thai boxing retreats. The villas range in size from three to eight bedrooms, so whether you’re after a cosy couple’s retreat, a family holiday or somewhere to celebrate a special occasion with a larger group, Samujana can accommodate you.

Outside the resort, you can take a tour to discover some of the beautiful temples and waterfalls of Koh Samui, and when you get back, why not unwind with a massage at your villa or a private yoga session? There are also plenty of stunning beaches around from the essentially private one at Samujana itself to the popular Chaweng.
