Further details indoors:
The bright and airy open-plan living space has floor-to-ceiling windows with views over the pool on one side and to a sea of coconut palms on the other. The TV, DVD and CD equipment is all in this room. There is plenty of seating including several comfortable Thai cushions. Sliding doors lead out onto the terrace which in turn leads down a couple of steps to the pool terrace.
From the kitchen and dining area a wooden staircase leads up to the first floor. Here you'll find the master bedroom which has a super kingsize bed, terrace and en suite bathroom. As well as a regular shower, this bathroom has the additional luxury of a second shower - outdoors for al fresco bathing. The second upstairs bedroom also has a super kingsize bed and opens onto a terrace. The second bathroom is also upstairs, adjacent to this bedroom.
The third bedroom and bathroom are downstairs. Here there are two single beds and again the bedroom opens onto a terrace. All bathrooms have hot and cold water, showers and WC's. All the bedrooms are air conditioned. The floors of the house and terraces are tiled throughout. There are blinds at the windows and black-out blinds in the bedrooms.
If you want to cook at home the kitchen is equipped with a gas hob and microwave oven. Although there is no washing machine in the villa, there are numerous laundries nearby.
Further details outdoors:
The large swimming pool is chlorine-free and runs on a Purapool system - clear, soft, clean, odourless water which is so much better for your eyes and skin. The pool measures 9m x 4.5m and is approximately 1.5m deep all the way along. The water flows gently over the sides of the pool creating a calming infinity effect.
White Villa Maenam is surrounded by a private, lush walled garden with tropical flowers, palms and trees. There's a gated parking space for a car. Because the villa is away from the main road and towards the mountains, there's often a lovely breeze to help keep you cool.
One of the joys of Koh Samui is being able to spend a lot of time outside - and there are five inviting terraces at White Villa Maenam. There is plenty of seating on the terraces and sun loungers for relaxing by the pool.

Share videoThe Koh Samui region
Located in the gulf of Thailand about 80km off the mainland coast is the magical holiday island of Koh Samui, Thailand's third largest island. A mountain ridge runs east to west and the inner hills of the island are mostly covered in trees. The island is beautifully green, the rich hues of the forest and natural vegetation contrasting with the greens of coconut palms and banana leaves. Samui has an abundance of white sandy beaches, crystal clear waters and swaying coconut palms.
The weather is generally hot and humid all year round. It's usually hottest between March and September when the temperature often reaches 35C. It tends to rain more during the 'monsoon' which runs roughly from mid-October to mid-December. Samui is a great place to visit all year round and even when it rains it's generally not very long before the sun comes out again. You could plan your visit to Samui to coincide with Songkran, the water festival. It's a real treat and usually takes place around Easter time. Be prepared to get wet!
There's plenty to do and see on the island - activities include scuba diving, snorkeling, fishing, jungle tours and golf. There are several companies offering boat trips to the spectacular Ang Thong National Marine Park (great for snorkeling) or over to the nearby islands of Koh Phangan and Koh Tao. Samui has some lovely waterfalls and temples to visit. The unusual "Grandfather and Grandmother Rocks" on Lamai beach are a major photo opportunity! If relaxing and pampering is what you're after you can visit one of the island's many spas and treat yourself to a wonderful massage or beauty treatment.
There's a vibrant nightlife on Koh Samui and you'll find plenty of restaurants, bars and nightclubs - especially in the main towns of Chaweng and Lamai. You can go to see one of the famous Thai Ladyboy shows or watch a Thai boxing match. Samui has a variety of banks, cashpoints, dentists, opticians, hospitals etc. There's no shortage of shops selling all the basics and there's even a Tesco!
The Maenam area
The largest and most popular beaches on Samui are Chaweng, Lamai, Bophut and Maenam. Of these Maenam, which is situated in the north of the island, is probably the quietest. It has a good choice of shops, restaurants and bars but you can still get away from it all should you want to as the golden, sandy beach here is several kms long. The waters at Maenam are great for swimming and there are spectacular views of Koh Phangan from the beach.
If you tire of swimming in the pool at the villa or lounging on the white sandy beaches there are some beautiful walks - with beautiful views and you can walk directly from the villa up the hill towards the centre of the island. If you're looking for a bit of excitement, Canopy Adventures, with its exhilarating zip wire ride through the treetops, is within walking distance of White Villa Maenam. The ride finishes by a waterfall where you can cool off and enjoy a well-earned drink.
Maenam village retains much of its Thai flavour and a trip to the local morning market will give you a real taste of local life. There are several shops in the village to buy your holiday souvenirs. There's a good choice of spas in Maenam - most of the hotels have one or you could opt for one of the more intimate local salons for that all-important Thai massage. You can, of course, get a massage on the beach, in the shade, listening to the gentle lapping of the sea....

Guestbook for White Villa Maenam
"Spent a wonderful week on Koh Samui enjoying the wonders of nature and the hospitality of local people. The villa is terrific and conveniently located, away from the hustle and bustle. The kids loved the pool and hopped in everyday despite a few rainy days.
Special thanks to Lorraine and Tom for their help and care.
Thanks for having us! xx"

"Thank you for a wonderful villa in which to enjoy Koh Samui. We've had a great time exploring the island as well as lazing about the peaceful villa. We'd recommend:
Twins in Maenam - food fab! (Try the Banana Smoothie - yum).
Ocean 11 in Bophut - a treat.
Happy Elephant - Good food, interesting service; The Shack for a manly steak - Both in Bophut.
Exploring - The quiet South West corner - must be the original Koh Samui. Now it's back to the fun of Christmas in the UK. Thanks again."
Carrie & Ashley, UK (December 2011)
"Thank you Jenny & Roy for allowing us to stay at your lovely villa. We had a very relaxed and wonderful time here in Koh Samui. Thank you again."
Jeanette, Trevor, Rohan & Cheryl, Australia (September 2011)
"The Wood family had a very relaxing week on Samui. The villa was perfect for us. We enjoyed the beautiful pool and the tranquility of the area. It was lovely to be surrounded by coconut palms, banana trees and to drive past the water buffalo on the way into town.
Some top places we found that you may like to 'explore':
1. Take a boat trip or two! - Ang Thong Marine park was magical. Ko Tao is a paradise. Fab diving.
2. For a great view, have dinner at the Jungle Club, above Chaweng - Call them to collect you if you do not have a 4 x 4.
3. Bo Phut - Great for dinner & a stroll. Favourite restaurants - Ying Yang & trendy Karma Sutra. Friday evening market was fun too. Thanks to Lorraine for her help."

"Had an amazing time here with our friends from Oz (Kerry and Lloyd) and Andy from the UK. Lots of fun on the mopeds scooting around (very handy). Luckily the weather for us was back to normal, so we have been making the most of the pool, which has been great! Good places to eat are Twins Restaurant and Seaview on the beach and Angela's if you require a Western flavour. Our friends have all flown after the wedding and we are now on our honeymoon in this beautiful villa. Hope you have as much fun here as we have."
Will and Luisa, UK (April 2011)
"Thank you very much for letting us stay in this beautiful villa for 17 days. The villa is beautiful and the pool is lovely. Lovely scenery and nice and quiet. The whole island is lovely and we don't want to go home. Lorraine is lovely and helpful and a very nice character. Thanks Jenny and Roy."
Caroline, Stu, Philip and Allana, UK (February 2011)
"Thank you for letting us stay at the beautiful White Villa. We really enjoyed the villa and its surroundings, especially Maenam area and nearby Bophut with lovely Fishermans Village. Everything was as described and Lorraine was extremely helpful in all matters.
Thanks to Jenny and Roy."
Lassi and family, Finland (Christmas 2010)
"We have to leave in 10 minutes and we want to say thank you for an amazing week in a palm paradise. We loved being in this pretty house coming back from the beach.... The beaches all over the island are good, but we loved Maenam most, less people, clean water, palm trees directly in the sand. Everything was perfect, especially Lorraine and Nah. Thank you Jenny, for your patience with 5 German guys. Love Gabi, Tom and kids."
(August 2010)
"It's time to leave paradise and there are 5 smiling Finnish people who don't want to leave, but..... what can we say... house, pool, island and also Lorraine was amazing! So kiitos! It means "thank you" in Finnish Language."
Jussi and friends, Finland (July 2010)
"A wonderful month spent at White Villa exploring the island and enjoying hot and sunny days....The holiday was fantastic, in large part due to the "home away from home" feel of White Villa. The perfect "base camp" from which to enjoy Koh Samui and then return to for peace and comfort on a scale we will greatly miss. Many thanks to all our friends and helpers who will be remembered fondly and thanks to Roy and Jenny for letting us stay in this beautiful villa."
