Ban Suriya, or “Sunshine House,” sits on the site of a former coconut plantation on Lipa Noi beach. Located in the peaceful south-west coast of Koh Samui, Lipa Noi is regarded as the most unspoiled and best swimming beach on the island. The villa is well situated for your island vacation and provides wonderful views of Angthong Marine Park and stunning sunsets.

You will find no shortage of relaxing and invigorating options during your stay at Ban Suriya. The private beach includes a volleyball net. The gym and games annex is separate from the main living villa. The gym is equipped with weights, mats, machines, a punching bag and a Bose iPod speaker. The games room has a foosball table, as well as Nintendo Wii and PlayStation consoles. The spa room and three additional dedicated massage areas—one even in a tree house, offer guests many options for otherworldly pampering during their stay. There’s even an outdoor movie screen!

The main villa is extremely spacious with a modern kitchen opening onto a large dining area. The resident chef cooks with freshly grown local herbs, fruits and vegetables from the villa’s garden. The sunken library has an underwater window to the pool and a wide selection of books and board games. The bar area, located under the cantilever stairs that lead to the mezzanine floor, has a well-stocked wine fridge. The luxury mezzanine lounge is ideal for pre-dinner drinks, with a sunset bar and pool table on the terrace.

Six magnificent bedrooms accommodate up to sixteen at Ban Suriya. Each bedroom is bright and airy, allowing plenty of natural sunlight to enter. The Suriya bedroom opens to a secret cactus garden, and The Aqua bedroom opens right to the pool.

If you decide to leave the grounds of this tropical leisure manor, lovers of history and culture may want to visit the nearby Samui Cultural Center and Fine Art of South East Asia or the impressive Wat Samut Tharam temple. Whether you are looking to realign your chakras or just get a bit of sun, Ban Suriya offers all the luxury perks to make this a truly memorable tropical holiday!
