Villa Wayu

Perfect for an unforgettable family getaway, this 7-bedroom Koh Samui villa (plus kids' bunk room) sleeps 14 adults & 6 kids, and includes direct beach access and private pool. This beachside haven also boasts an in-house Thai chef, shared gym and sauna, and expansive outdoor and indoor living spaces - including a dedicated childrens' living space. Rent the adjoining villa (separated by a removable partition wall) to create a huge 14-bedroom 2-bunk room retreat. Cast off your cares and fall into the languid pace of island life at this upscale retreat - one of the most sought after villas on Koh Samui. Prepared to be wowed on arrival: push open double timber doors to be greeted by an enchanting lotus pond, and elegant Thai-inspired artwork. Slip off your shoes and explore the luscious grounds, where a sparkling blue pool invites you to plunge straight in on arrival. Swaying palms and sun loungers sit on an ocean-facing lawn, and a Thai-inspired sala seats 14 for al fresco meals. Ask your chef to fire up the sala BBQ, grab a drink from the bar fridge, and unwind to your favourite music over the built-in surround sound speakers. If you feel like a little quiet time, take the private door straight to the golden beach just steps away. Later, drift towards the villa's expansive living space - set beneath a grand vaulted ceiling. Large windows and sliding doors feature throughout - open them up and welcome in the sound of the ocean. A pair of plush sofas sit before a big flat screen TV, inviting you to kick up your feet and watch a movie, or enjoy a sneaky afternoon nap. This space also boasts a gorgeous wooden dining table seating 14, and a contemporary kitchen if you feel like whipping up a quick snack. In the evenings, uncork a bottle of wine in the al fresco lounge as the fading sun splashes colour across the sky. Adding to the luxury, a fitness centre, sauna room, multi-media room, and outdoor massage are all shared with the neighbouring villa. Each of the stylishly appointed seven bedrooms impress with Italian ceramic tile floors, a wall-mounted TV with Blu-ray player, and comfy sofas. Five of the bedrooms come with king beds, and another two bedrooms have two twin beds each. Kids can hang out in their private living area, then enjoy holiday slumber parties in the en-suite bunk room (offering 3 bunk beds that sleep 6). All bedrooms also include en-suite bathrooms with indoor and outdoor showers, and some include sunken baths for indulgent end-of-day soaks. We want you to enjoy the holiday of a lifetime. To give you an experience that lets you truly relax and rejuvenate. That's why everything about our service is tailored to you. Nothing less than 5-star luxury. For instance, you'll have a resident Thai chef to prepare lunch and dinner from the in-villa menus. Your chef will buy fresh seafood and produce from the market on a daily basis, then prepare and serve your gourmet meal in the comfort of your villa. Our 5-star service also means giving you high-end services, including in-villa spa treatments, an in-house concierge to book day trips and boat tours, and resident staff to keep the villa immaculate throughout your stay. From the moment you arrive, you'll also have an English-speaking manager to attend to your personal needs. Spend the day building sandcastles with the kids or sunning yourself on the soft sand on Maenam Beach - located right in front of the villa. If you feel like exploring, drive 10 minutes to the Santiburi Samui Country Club and hit the tennis courts or 18-hole championship golf course. One of the island's main attractions, Fisherman's Village, is just a 5-minute drive away and hosts several local shops, galleries, casual dining spots, and the popular Friday Walking Street Market. It's located on Bophut Beach, which boasts its own array of beachfront restaurants and shops. While 15 minutes away from the villa, Chaweng (Samui's buzzing resort town) is packed with restaurants, shops, bars and nightlife. • English-speaking manageress and resident villa staff • In-house concierge service • Full-time resident Thai chef • Private airport transfer • Daily continental or Chinese breakfast • Sea kayaks • Shared on-site gym & sauna
