HOW TO FIND YOUR PERFECT ISLAND RETREAT
Villa rental is fast becoming the preferred holiday accommodation
option for a vast majority of vacationers to Koh Samui and
Koh Phangan.
Renting a villa as a family or group of friends can
prove far more economical in the long run than hotel
accommodation and can afford you the luxury and
privacy you seek on a holiday without breaking the
bank.
For longer term lets, there is a multitude of options
from private owners to agent lets ranging from basic to
6 star luxury – all you need to do is spend some time
finding the right villa for your long-term living needs.
Holiday villas are generally fully furnished and include
a full western kitchen with appliances, towels and bed
linens, water and electricity and will normally include a
maid service who will come once or more a week to
change linen and tidy the villa, as well as a maintenance
person to take care of the gardens and pool if included.

There are a host of other optional services on offer such
as a private chef, babysitting, pre-arrival shopping,
laundry, driver or car hire, butler, island tours, personal
training, massage and spa treatments, Thai cooking
lessons...simply do your research and ask lots of
questions when selecting your villa to see what is
available to you during your stay.
If booking your villa from outside of Thailand, it
may be wise to use one of the more established
and recognised agents to ensure you are getting
what you pay for. While it may seem cheaper to go
directly through the home-owner, agencies usually
have representatives in Samui and Phangan who
can advocate on your behalf. That can include minor
repairs or even moving you to another property if you’re
not satisfied with your original choice. That’s something
that the owner can’t help you with.
