Desmond: “There are 10 individual villas, six with 55 sqm and three with 70 sqm. The grandest villa is 150 sqm with a huge bedroom with four-poster bed and a separate living area, which has a small kitchen, fridge, temperature controlled wine cabinet, a Linn amplifier with DVD/CD and Wi-Fi throughout. The bathroom has a round jacuzzi and sliding doors constructed from weathered reclaimed wood from an old Thai ocean liner.
All bathrooms feature an indoor power shower and outdoor rain shower on a teak deck. The villas are equipped with air conditioning, flat screen TV, Bose DVD and CD player and a digital safe.
Each villa is furnished differently, giving each one a unique character and feeling. Amenities are supplied by Urb of Thailand and create an aroma that is distictivly Thai.”

— What are some of the services you are offer your holiday guests?
Desmond: “We are really open to suggestions and do offer a total concierge service. We have many in-house services like traditional Thai and oil massage which are always very popular and sometimes yoga or pilates intructors are requested.
There are a variety of services and activities available at Koh Samui Villa ranging from scuba diving, secret island tours accompanied by fantastic picnics, trips to virgin islands on speedboats, sunset sailing on an old Chinese junk drinking chilled champagne... The list is endless and all services are custom made for our holiday guests.
We also have five quad bikes, kayaks, wind surfing equipment, Seadoo jet ski, a 4 seater Seadoo water craft and mountain bikes which are all available to the guests.”

— How would you describe the architecture and style of Koh Samui Villa?
Desmond: “The style is I suppose quite minimalist with clean lines that make the most of light, form, detail of material and space. To borrow the old quote from Ludwig Mies van der Rohe — ‘Less is more’.
The space is complimented and warmed by the specially commisioned pieces by ‘Budji’ Layug, which are both elegant and emphasise the use of sustainable, renewable resources that has made ‘Budji’ a pioneer in eco furniture and design. The result is a harmonious balance between ethnic grace, elegance and simplicity.”

— What would you describe to be your philosophy at Koh Samui Villa?
Desmond: “As only one group can rent the holiday villas at any time I would say that our phillosophy is best described as slimplistic luxury. The word luxury is almost an abused word now and seems to be used to describe everything from toilet paper to sandwich spreads.
It is in effect a private, luxurious hotel but a hotel where the guests are not restricted by normal hotel regulations. The advantages over even the most opulent hotel are quite simple and afford guests the freedom to do what they want, when they want.
Simplicity, peace, privacy, freedom, choice, excellent service, food, drinks and fun!”

— How would you like your guests to remember their holiday in Koh Samui?
Desmond: “Hopefully they would have spent it exactly as they had intended. That they had eaten, drunk, rested, celebrated, relaxed, played, dreamed and thoroughly enjoyed themselves in a manner that they see fitting and have created themselves.”

— To you personally, what is so special about these holiday villas?
Desmond: “The sense of space and privacy makes it totally unique for a beachfront villa in Thailand and we are fortunate to have a virtually private beach — there are no offical private beaches in Thailand as all belong to the Royal Family but this is as close as it gets. The fact that it is so quiet is also wonderful and the only sound is that of the sea and tropical birds, waking up in the morning to the smell of freshly bloomed frangjapanis.”
