Baan Arun

The tranquil oasis of Baan Arun is a contemporary masterpiece nestled beneath the swaying palms of Bangrak. A secretive setting within a stone’s throw of Chaweng, Bo Phut and the airport, the indulgence of Koh Samui is at guests’ fingertips from this exclusive location. The immaculate presentation, coupled with state-of-the-art amenities, ensure the ultimate in luxury getaways and –on an island known for its bustle – this is a delightfully secluded enclave that still remains at the heart of the action. 

Impeccable landscaped walled-gardens border the property to preserve the idyllic atmosphere with an expansive pool set centrally in the courtyard. Internal living space is generously spacious with high ceilings and an elegant décor so that guests can reside in homely, yet luxuriant, environs. Whether travelling with friends or treating the family, the capacious property is a sublime secretive escape for tropical island bliss.

Neighbouring Chaweng, Bo Phut and the airport, yet immaculately secluded within the confines of its own walled garden, enjoy the best of both worlds from Baan Arun. Minutes off the plane and guests are whisked into a utopia, hidden from the world amidst a sea of vibrant trees with the tranquil pool soothing the soul. Post rest and relaxation, know the delights of Bo Phut and the buzz of Chaweng are just minutes in the car. 

Fisherman’s Village is the renowned shopping and eating spot. Myriad gastronomic delights await on the waterfront where small boats trawl in the day’s freshest catch, which is then grilled over burning-hot coals on the water front; or seek bountiful boutiques and indulge in the island’s famed wares. The beaches at Bo Phut are quainter affairs with white-sand expanses luring in the few, while the shoreline further east offers the ebullience of water sports and activities to entertain the masses.

Baan Arun is a secluded haven in the north-east of Koh Samui, surrounded by pristine gardens that shroud the majestic swimming pool creating an immaculate retreat for tranquil escape. An al fresco dining space borders the pool within the capacious poolside decking, while two inviting sun loungers offer ample space for repose.

The villa composes of four lavish bedrooms – plus three indulgent ensuites – king and queen-sized beds setting the stage for serene slumber, a cot on offer for any infant travellers. Bedrooms one and two enjoy their own private bathrooms, while the other two share an interconnecting suite that includes an elegant pebbled bath. 

A stretched corridor borders the bedrooms and leads guests to the poolside terrace, while at one end an expansive living space is the ideal communal setting, the well-appointed open-plan kitchen the inviting cooking spot with its own breakfast bar a relaxing space for a mid-morning coffee. An internal dining area sweeps to one side, so whether cooking for the group or enlisting the expert support of the in-villa chef, banquets abound in this beautiful haven. Then retreat to the sanctuary of the oversized sofas – leather delights that front the flat-screen TV for evening respite post-feast.
 

Baan Arun is a hidden gem in Koh Samui’s heartland – an arresting sunrise location that prizes privacy as much as inclusion. Few other properties can boast the same unbridled access to the island’s most revered spots, while still maintaining an exclusivity reserved for the finest luxury escapes. A modern construction finished to the highest contemporary standards, serenity reigns supreme within the four walls of this oasis. 

A dedicated concierge service rests on-hand for any in-holiday requests – renowned as the best team on the island, no whim goes unmet with the support of this delightful troupe. Given the picture-perfect location, ease of access and readily available support, it is little wonder matrimonial couples book the venue for their very own destination wedding.  

Enjoy immaculate views of the mountainside, stoke up the barbecue and lay back in the surrounds of this idyllic spot.
