Sandalwood Villas is a group of 10 villa units, which can be rented separately, and are designed to be private, yet close enough for intimate family or group holidays. They are perched on a steep hillside overlooking Chaweng and the east coast of Samui. The drive up the mountain leads you to a spectacular site, with magnificent views of Samui’s eastern coastline. The villas provide a perfect sun- and moon-rise viewing location, and have been constructed on 3000 square metres of sloping land, which has been tastefully landscaped to incorporate the enormous granite boulders that grace the site.

Sandalwood Villas features one of Samui’s most spectacular pools. The infinity edge blends dramatically with the sea, and vast, mesmerizing views.  Several sun loungers and an outdoor dining area surround the pool, offering choice for those wishing to read, relax, or tan.

The villa complex is conveniently located, being approximately equidistant from Chaweng and Lamai. This means that there are a host of dining, shopping, and entertainment options within a ten-minute drive. The closest swimming beach is Coral Cove, which is only a three-minute drive away, and one of Samui’s best snorkeling locations. This is a lovely white sand beach and relatively safe swimming area, enclosed by enormous granite boulders.

The villas have three fulltime staff, who are on call 24 hours a day during your visit, and are supported by a resident manager, who lives in a wooden house that guards the property at the roadside. The staff will cater to your every need, whether arranging an in-villa spa treatment, babysitting, or sightseeing tours. A full menu is available for an array of Thai and European dishes available throughout the day, in addition to the complimentary daily American breakfast.
