Moonstone Samui

5.0(843 reviews)

Moonstone Samui is a private villa property set in the Bophut area of Koh Samui, offering direct sea access and sweeping views that guests consistently describe as breathtaking, particularly at sunset. The location strikes a balance between seclusion and convenience, sitting close to the airport while remaining removed from the island's busier tourist zones.

The property operates with a notably personal style of hospitality. A dedicated on-site team, led by a manager known to guests as Khun A, handles everything from daily service to bespoke arrangements such as cooking classes, yoga sessions, and excursions to nearby attractions like elephant sanctuaries. Spacious, private bedrooms and generous communal areas including a large pool make the property well suited to group travel, family stays, and milestone celebrations. An in-house chef prepares meals each evening, adding to the self-contained, resort-like atmosphere that sets it apart from standard hotel accommodation.

Moonstone was the perfect relaxing getaway. Khun A is an absolute delight, always greeting you with a warm smile. The whole team was delightful, especially the chef, who made incredible meals every night. We were able to do a super fun cooking class with chef, Khun arranged the most amazing elephant sanctuary trip for us, and we were able to enjoy delicious cocktails by the pool, daily. The entire team was so special and kind, and the villa itself was stunning. Beautiful views of the sunset outside, and super comfy rooms, with full jacuzzi tubs in each main bedroom! We were also able to enjoy some local markets and even a capybara cafe - so amazing!! I highly recommend Moonstone to anyone looking for a relaxing tropical getaway, focused around relaxation and enjoying the beautiful nature and culture of Thailand. We will miss Khun and the whole team dearly, we are so grateful for their hospitality ❤️

We celebrated my husbands 50th birthday with family and friends. The Khun amazing manager and satisfied all our request, even when we did it too late. We did cooking classes, yoga, elephant sanctuary,markets,scooter rentals,cars for our big group,boat rental to visit pig islands. The cooking was so great, we didn’t want to leave the villa. Dishes was always different. As we had kids , Shef always made sure few dishes was prepared for them.

We stayed Moonstone with our family. Each bedrooms is spacious and private. The communal areas and pool area are huge, with an amazing view. Best part though is the fantastic team ,friendly, professional and excellent food. We already plan to visit again! again!

Pool Villa Doesn't Mean Expensive
