Villa Kohia | 3-4 Bedroom Villa - Chaweng, Koh Samui

Wonderful 5 nights in low season We just returned home from a wonderful 5 night stay at Villa Kohia using 3 of the 4 bedrooms. The villa was well appointed, decent furnishings, decor, bed, bath and pool linens, lovely ensuite bathrooms with barrier free showers and two with closed courtyard free-standing stone soaker tubs. Khun Fon was on hand from morning to night, coordinating our daily breakfasts, maintenance, housekeeping and grounds keeping crew, plus she was very resourceful as an island guide when we wanted to go site-seeing, making reservations for dinner, shopping for items we wanted to use during our stay at the villa and for finding souvenirs to bring home. We are a fairly self sufficient bunch and didn’t need to be waited on hand and foot ... but she surely would have, which is nice to know your beverages could be topped up, you could be surrounded with fresh cut flowers and fruit platters all day long. The airport runway in the valley below was a bonus for us, as we all enjoy the sights and sounds of aircraft throughout the day ... and other than an occasional 30 second sound of engines at take off or reverse thrust when landing - this villa’s location is more peaceful than many other areas on the island that are surrounded by the constant buzz of scooters and vehicles. Ocean, mountains, jungle, a gilded mountain top temple, sandy beach coastline, and a filtered view of the runway provide lovely backdrops for photos, pool days, meditation, yoga sessions, dinner parties and whatever you’re into. The property is terraced and the garden contains water features that babble away during the day and are silent by night. The trees are adorned with a dizzying assortment of orchids that live symbiotically on the notches of Palm fronds, and the crepe flowers of the washed out pink and the vibrant fucsia bougainvillea bushes look stunning in photos any time of day. We took advantage of the villa pre-stocking service to fill the fridge and bar with mixers, sparking water, a case of prosecco and plenty of fresh fruits, veggies, charcuterie, eggs, and popcorn ... so we had healthy options for poolside snacking, we could make salads, blender drinks, and never feel like we had to leave ... unless we wanted to. Instead of visiting one of the numerous local spas, beach clubs or resort hotels - we fully took advantage of the private boutique nature of this villa by creating our own luxurious milk baths, bubble baths, massage sessions, facials, and all things relaxing ... without having to leave the comfort of our own robe or face “the public” or endure car rides down winding roads only to have your relaxation buzz killed with a bill to settle at the end. We brought an Apple airplay that we used with the hardwired sound system and had our own playlists to suit our moods from playful dance party to Ibiza / Costa Del Mar Chillout sessions. An overnight shopping trip to Hong Kong on the way to Koh Samui yielded great props, costumes, and a bottle of the hard stuff each - which fit right in on the days where we wanted to stay out of the direct sunlight, and focus in on some photo shoots to take home some pretty portraits in a gorgeous surrounding.
