Centara Villas Samui 

Seaside luxe for less

In an enviable setting on a private white-sand beach, the Centara Villas Samui is a great-value retreat.

This renovated and great-value resort is set on a hillside leading down to a picture-perfect and secluded beach with soft white sands, a scattering of rocks and that crystal-clear water of dreams. The freeform infinity pool – one of three at the resort – makes the most of these typical Thai coastal vistas, as does the waterfront Reef Café, the main restaurant. Waking up and wandering down to this idyllic spot for breakfast is the perfect way to begin your day. At lunch and dinner, you can enjoy a range of international and Thai-inspired dishes or choose the locally sourced catch of the day. Just next to the pool is the Coral Bar & BBQ where you can dine al fresco on themed dishes and grilled specialities.

Why we love Centara Villas Samui

  • It boasts a stunning setting in tropical gardens that slope gently down to a palm-fringed private beach at Samui’s southern tip

  • Given the location, you’ll definitely want to upgrade to a villa with stunning ocean views you can savour from the balcony

  • In the intimate rainforest-inspired spa, you can relax with natural therapies such as Ayurvedic treatments and Thai foot massages

  • When you want a change of scene, there’s a shuttle service to lively Lamai and Chaweng and a long-tail boat for excursions
