Famous for its coconut groves, culture and proximity to the Gulf of Thailand, Koh Samui has enjoyed its fair share of the spotlight this year – but The White Lotus fans among us probably don’t need me to tell them that. Having posed as the balmy locale for Mike White’s third Emmy-nominated series which landed on screens in February, demand for hotels and rental properties in the region have spiked, meaning only those in the know can secure a stay on Thailand’s second largest island. 

However, if you’re after something a little more permanent, you needn’t look further than our latest Holiday Home of the Month: Villa 24 on Samujana Estate. Spanning an exclusive slice of the north-eastern coast, the estate comprises 23 villas ranging from one to eight bedrooms, all with panoramic views across a quiet coral cove, infinity pools and private beach access.

The jewel in Samujana’s crown is Villa 24; which was used as a filming location for season three of The White Lotus. The largest of the 23 villas spans two plots and features eight bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, a plethora of al fresco terraces, a private gym, wellness floor and cinema. Blending modern architecture with Thai style, expect pared-back interiors waiting for a prospective owner’s stamp and plenty of indoor-outdoor living. 

The best bit? Samujana Estate has all the benefits of a five-star hotel without actually being one. For example, the villas are situated within a gated community (not that it feels it, thanks to the estate’s verdant tropical gardens) with 24-hour security, and boast access to private chefs, personal trainers and yoga instructors. 

While we suspect it would be very hard to leave your villa, step outside to discover Samujana’s range of concierge-curated activities, from island hopping and yachting to immersing yourself in local culture and nature thanks to itineraries featuring pitstops at local towns and villages. Samujana is also a stone’s throw from Koh Samui‘s most popular beaches, such as Choeng Mon and Chaweng, and is only 10 minutes from the island’s airport. Welcome to island life at its very finest. 

Villa 24 on Samujana Estate is listed for $5,500,000, visit samujana.com
