Element of 8 is part of the exclusive Cape Laem Sor Estate. A spectacular hillside retreat on Koh Samui’s scenic and unspoilt south-west coast, the villa boasts breathtaking views of the emerald sea and lush green islands.

Designed in a contemporary style by renowned architect and designer Gary Elton, Element of 8 features three descending levels which blend harmoniously with the lush, tropical landscape. This is a tranquil and secluded vacation home for anyone wanting to get away from it all.

It is suitable for families and groups of friends, accommodating up to 12 guests within its six luxurious bedrooms. The views and impeccable design also make it an inspiring location for weddings and private parties. Not to mention the exceptionally hygienic restaurant-standard professional kitchen used by the villa staff to craft delicious meals.

A private road leads to this celebrity-style tropical paradise, where manicured gardens and your own private clifftop pool are overlooked by the villa’s elegant living and dining pavilion. Imagine spending hours on the wide, shaded terraces cooled by the sea breeze, as you enjoy the spectacular sight and sound of surf breaking onto the reef below.

A stylish, white tropical design theme runs through the villa, with full-length glass doors and white louvred panels which slide open to reflect light and space and to enhance the view. Generous sofas rub shoulders with rattan furniture in palettes of driftwood grey and white. Nearby, a modern show kitchen and bar are ideal for casual dining and impromptu social evenings.

Your entire group can settle in quite comfortably within its six sophisticated en suite bedrooms, each featuring a king-size bed, taking full advantage of the villa’s stunning sea views. There’s plenty to keep you busy while on holiday, with your own well-equipped gym, an enviable, private beachfront barbecue space and a Balinese sala by the pool, the ideal spot for a relaxing Thai massage.

Element of 8 personifies tropical island living. Reclaim your time and spend it as you please, while the discreet and attentive staff takes care of your every whim and fancy. A private chef is available so you don’t need to step into the fabulous kitchen and sweat it out. Your Villa Manager will happily manage the villa and the entire staff team.
