Ban Mekkala – Koh Samui

Ban Mekkala was designed by David Clarke, one of the architects behind some of Thailand's best-known resort properties, and it shows in the way the villa opens to the sea.

Six bedrooms, six bathrooms, and a T-shaped infinity pool that faces directly onto Laem Sor beach. The villa sits at the quiet southern end of Koh Samui, where the water is calm and the beach is rarely crowded. A home theatre, outdoor cinema setup, and a fully staffed team — including a private chef whose cooking guests name in reviews — round out the offering.

The Villa

Six air-conditioned en-suite bedrooms, configured with a mix of king and twin beds for families and groups. The main living and dining pavilion opens onto the pool deck and the beach. The T-shaped pool is the villa's centrepiece — long enough for laps and wide enough for lounging. Guests consistently mention Fai, the villa manager, and Chef Paula in reviews as the reason they would return.

Location and Neighborhood

Laem Sor, on the southern coast — a quiet stretch of beach with the Laem Sor Pagoda within walking distance. Kamalaya Beach is 5 km north. Na Mueang-1 Waterfall is 6.7 km inland. Lamai Beach and its restaurants are 11.3 km away. Samui International Airport is roughly a 40-minute drive.

Best For

Extended families or groups of up to fourteen who want a beachfront villa with enough room for everyone to have their own space. The southern location suits guests who want quiet over nightlife. For a smaller beachfront villa on the same coastline, Baan Hinta sleeps ten and shares the same calm water.
