Home description
Baan Chantra is the kind of place you dream of if you are planning a luxury tropical holiday: effortlessly stylish and offering total privacy to the outside world, once you step through the gate and onto the property, you find yourself in a warm and open space, ideal for spending time with family and friends. Convivial living is one of the hallmarks of Thai life and the architects who designed Baan Chantra have deliberately created a light, airy domain where space flows and makes relaxation astonishingly easy.
The house, with its typical Thai grace notes is finely built and beautifully furnished throughout. Step inside and one of the first things you will see is an ornamental cho-fa or temple roof finial. Whoever is in charge of the décor here has ensured that there are enough Thai artifacts to give a sense of being in one of the world’s most exotic countries.

The Koh Samui region
Rising from the crystal waters of the Gulf of Siam, Koh Samui is a tropical paradise just off Thailand's South Eastern coast. The island's mountainous interior is coated in a tropical jungle with rugged trails that offer spectacular views. The whole island is surrounded by beautiful white sandy beaches and azure water.
Samui is Thailand's third largest island at 247 square kilometres. And it's part of an archipelago of many other islands, including Koh Phangan, Koh Tao, and the Ang thong National Marine Park. Samui is renowned for its tropical beaches, coconut palms, a wonderful variety of spa facilities, exotic nightlife and friendly people. The island also offers an amazing choice of restaurants, offering local and international cuisine that would be hard to match anywhere in the world. Samui seems to cast its magic spell on everyone who encounters it.
Samui may have a relaxed, laid back atmosphere, but the jungles and beaches offer every activity imaginable. The island has an exhilerating array of water sports such as snorkelling, scuba diving, sea canoeing, kite boarding and fishing. There's also mountain biking, horse-riding, elephant trekking through the jungle, tennis and even bungee jumping available for those seeking energetic entertainment. And an excellent golf course is available for a more gentle form of exercise.
The island's 50 km ring road offers tantalizing glimpses of Samui's gorgeous beaches, it takes you through sleepy fishing villages and seas of coconut palms. It also passes Samui's most impressive waterfalls and provides tempting turn-offs in the highlands. Yet most visitors are content to laze the days away on the beaches, soaking up the sun and cooling off in the turquoise waters.
Sunny skies and calm seas prevail for most of the year. The island remains unspoiled with all construction being controlled by strict building regulations. The villas at Samui Beach Village offer a tranquil community for nature lovers to be at home, situated amidst a tropical paradise.
Regular connections from Samui airport give easy access to the rest of the world. Direct connections to Phuket, Pattaya, Bangkok, Singapore, Hong Kong and Kuala Lumpur already exist with more destinations planned for the future.
Samui Beach Village area
Baan Chantra is in a superb location for people looking to lose themselves in the beauty of Koh Samui's gorgeous beaches and lush tropical landscape. The villa is set in Samui Beach Village, a small luxury living development far away from the busy tourist areas of Samui.
With unspoiled beaches in the relatively undeveloped south-eastern coast, Samui Beach Village has been created amid a profusion of coconut palms and tropical landscaped gardens. Convenient for Koh Samui's many attractions, it is only a 20 minute boat ride to Koh Tan and Koh Mudsum, two neighbouring islands which are well-known for their fantastic fishing and snorkelling.
You are only ten minutes away from Lamai Beach, 30 minutes from Chaweng and Samui's top golf course, and 35 minutes from the airport, so you are never far from the action. But while there is easy access to shopping, restaurants, nightlife and other activities, you will still feel you are on your own tropical island paradise.
Samui itself is also home to excellent medical care, and there are hospitals, clinics, dentists and pharmacies all round the island. Together with all the various Thai health spas, many of which are within a short distance of Samui Beach Village, all your health care needs can be satisfied.
How to get there
Baan Chantra is just 35 minutes away from Samui International Airport, Thailand's 2nd International Airport after Bangkok. Flights are available from Bangkok, Hong Kong, Singapore and other main airports around Asia.
We include a pick-up service within our rental prices, so once you arrive in Koh Samui our driver will be there ready to collect you. Once you get to the villa you are met by our villa manageress, making the whole transfer process a great start to your time in Koh Samui.

Further details indoors: Sturdy tropical hard woods have been used to provide both comfort and practicality in the house and the warm natural shades promote a sense of well-being. Luxury goes hand-in-hand with this type of dwelling and Samui Beach Village is a haven of taste that is bound to appeal to the discerning holidaymaker. Rooms are never cluttered or over filled and the balance between decor and space has been finely observed.
Baan Chantra provides an excellent base for exploring the island of Samui. You may find it hard to leave, however, as the villa has everything both inside and outside that you could wish for. Start the day with breakfast in the opulent dining room and then step just outside to a beautiful swimming pool, with azure-blue waters. It is a great place to spend a morning or afternoon and you will find that quite a few times the comfy sun-loungers will win out over the desire to go hiking in the jungle.
The bedrooms focus on harmony and space and offer superb intimacy as well as every modern convenience. En-suite bathrooms mean that you can hop straight from bed to shower, then dress with ease, thanks to roomy wardrobes and storage space.
With two bedrooms and two bathrooms, you'll never feel cramped, and there is enough space for everyone to go off and do their own thing. The architecture and intelligent use of space means that maximum occupancy can be achieved without everyone feeling on top of each other.
Baan Chantra combines a world-class kitchen with a dining area and sitting room, making it a wonderful area for entertaining family and friends. If you prefer not to cook, you can have Samui Beach Village’s own team prepare you anything from a snack to a banquet.
Baan Chantra is fully air conditioned and has ceiling fans to add to your comfort and relaxation. Satellite TV, DVD player and a compact sound system and ADSL internet connection are provided for the entertainment of our guests.
Further details outdoors: The garden is its own lush little paradise and its shady foliage helps take the fierceness out of the sun. With the French doors thrown back, the boundary between the house and the outside world becomes blurred. This is tropical living at its best.
