For entertainment, plan movie nights in the private cinema or gaming championships in the splendid wood-panelled games or ‘poker’ room with a lounge, bar and sizable TV for screening sports and events.
Fitness enthusiasts will appreciate the villa’s fully equipped gym, sauna and steam bath while yoga lovers and those seeking a little Thai pampering will enjoy the pool terrace. The wraparound wooden deck is an inspiring spot for a revitalising yoga session or massage session, against a backdrop of the bluest sea and the sound of the waves breaking on the beach below.

Tongson Bay is on the northeastern tip of Koh Samui island and is one of several perfect, palm-fringed bays in this area. It offers some of the best swimming on the island and spectacular views out to sea and to Koh Phang or Full-moon Island.
The villa is just a 15-20 minutes’ drive to Samui International Airport. A quick 15-minute drive also takes you to the main tourist areas of Chaweng and Bophut or Fisherman's Village, which are brimming with restaurants, bars, night markets and a fantastic range of shopping and entertainment options for all ages.
More information for Things to doAlthough Koh Samui is renowned for its palm-fringed beaches and crystal blue sea, the island has much to offer to visitors of all ages.

Your Villa Manager can make all the necessary arrangements for you to enjoy your chosen pursuits. Here are some suggestions:
Fisherman’s Village & Night Market l Every night of the week is the ‘Night Market’ or Walking Street at Fisherman’s Village, just 15 minutes away from your villa. Lined along the charming narrow beach road, traditional Thai wooden houses are now chic boutique stores, trendy restaurants and bars. As dusk falls, the village explodes into a riot of colour and activity as vendors from all over the island set up shop selling everything from Thai and international street food, to chic fashion, electronics and local souvenirs. And don’t miss the fire-eating entertainment every evening on the beach in front of Coco Tam.
Luxury Island Cruising | Charter a luxury catamaran for the day and sail out to one of the many islands which surround Koh Samui. Head to the spectacular coconut-palm-covered island of Koh Phangan (Full-Moon Island) for a sublime day of swimming, snorkelling and exploring its beautiful, untouched beaches. Pull in for lunch at one of several beachside restaurants or pack a luxury picnic and choose your anchorage for a taste of unspoiled paradise. Or discover Samui’s world-famous Angthong National Marine Park, a spectacular archipelago of karst (limestone) islands with caves, lagoons, white sandy spits and endless snorkelling.
Meet Samui’s Gentle Giants at Elephant Haven | The young ones will love the ethical elephant sanctuary of ‘Elephant Haven’. Home to 18 magnificent Asian elephants and their offspring, Elephant Haven offers visitors a wonderful up-close-and-personal experience with these extraordinary, gentle giants in a safe and delightful jungle setting. The sanctuary offers tours hosted by professional, informative and caring guides.

World-class Golfing in Samui | Just 20 minutes drive from the villa is Santiburi Samui Country Club, one of the most beautiful golf courses in Asia and the island’s only championship 18-hole, par-72 golf course. Stretching along the hills of the northern coastline with spectacular elevations from 25-180 metres above sea level, it is often called a ‘slice of heaven’. This challenging course is surrounded by natural rainforest and coconut palm plantations, with distracting views of the mountains and ocean at every turn, which makes it an oasis of pure golfing pleasure.
Samui’s Spirit of Adventure | Sports and adventure enthusiasts of all ages will be thrilled by the variety of action activities available in Koh Samui. Choose from kite surfing at Nathon, off-road safaris on three and four-wheeled ATVs, bungee jumping, zip-lining through the rainforest, canopy walks and waterfall hikes to Muay Thai boxing tournaments and high-speed go-karts to name a few.
Tour the Island’s Temples and Waterfalls | Take a tour of this beautiful island to see the waterfalls and temples. Nearby is Samui’s most iconic landmark, the Golden Big Buddha and its impressive neighbour, Plai Laem Wat. Further south in Lamai, visit the enigmatic ‘Mummy Monk’ at Wat Khunaram the island’s most famous mummified monk, and nearby Wat Sila Ngu or Red temple. Then, head home through the mountains via stunning waterfalls, magnificent scenery and aerial views of the island.
See Old Samui in Nathon l Just 10 minutes away, this bustling seaport where car and passenger ferries sail between the island and the Thai mainland has its own charm and appeal for visitors. Its narrow streets offer a profusion of colourful clothing boutiques, local arts and craft stores, and souvenir shops. The town also boasts its own Chinatown where old Chinese shophouses bear witness to the town’s exotic history as a strategic trading port and which now sell an eclectic range of bric-à-brac. Dining at one of the waterfront seafood restaurants, you can experience a taste of authentic spicy, local cuisine, while the weekly ‘walking street’ market’ has become an attraction with innumerable vendors selling local and international delicacies and goods.

Dining
Thai cuisine is celebrated the world over for its exotic and delicious flavours. The chef is adept at preparing a whole range of Thai dishes tailored to suit international palates.
Always a great time to get together to plan the day’s programme, breakfast can be served at the indoor dining area with the windows wide open to the pool or on the outdoor terrace.
Expect a range of breakfast favourites from freshly baked breads and pastries to a fantastic array of tropical fruits. Cooked dishes are prepared a la minute by the chef and could perhaps include Thai favourites such as Thai omelettes with herbs and popular street-side favourites such as Pad Ka Prao (fried chicken or pork with Holy basil and fried egg).
Unless you’re off on an excursion, lunch is usually a casual buffet by the pool. Expect popular Thai dishes like Phad Thai (Thai Noodles), Satays, Yum Woon Sen (Glass Noodle Salad) or Som Tam (Green Papaya Salad) accompanied by a light coconut curry, or if you prefer, western dishes such as salads, pasta, pizzas, grills and such.
Your Villa Manager will take care of shopping for groceries and beverages which can be ordered in advance of your visit, and which are charged at market price plus a 20% handling fee and a government tax.
