Koh Samui known for its low population density and proximity to other smaller islands beautiful beaches, coral reefs and expansive island vistas is located in the Gulf of Thailand. The island is part of Thailand’s idyllic Surat Thani Province and is the second largest island of the country. Today Koh Samui is a major destination for discerning vacationers and holiday home buyers.
In addition to its relatively untouched scenic beauty, Koh Samui’s gradual transformation from being a slow-starter to a major tourist destination is mainly attributed to the island’s own international airport with daily flights to Bangkok and other major airports in Southeast Asia.
In This article we will take an overview of an oceanfront development in Koh Samui - Samujana Villas. Located a few minutes from the Chaweng and Choeng Mon beaches and about 10 minutes from the airport, the Samujana Villas Koh Samui is a collection of 27 villas offering unobstructed views of The Gulf of Thailand.
Designed by Gary Fell of GFAB Architects and winners of the Best Architecture, 2011 Award, these 3 to 8 bedroom villas have been built into the gently sloping hillside to blend seamlessly with their natural surroundings and mountain slopes of Koh Samui. The modern Thai style Samujana Villas Koh Samui also feature western-style luxury fixtures and furniture, designer kitchens and open-plan indoor-outdoor living areas.
What we liked about these villas is the fact that each unit have been designed in such a way that the natural environs of the location remained intact with the roofs of several villas either having plants growing on them, or featuring stone gardens, or reflecting pools, which not only keep the villas cooler, but also enhance the look and feel of the villas.
