Renovated Contemporary Sea View Duplex Villa in Tongsai Bay, Koh Samui
Luxury sea view duplex villa, Plai Laem, Koh Samui
Why This Property Stands Out
Common requirements for villa buyers in Koh Samui at medium price points upwards are an open sea view, a premium location ideal for rental investment, and a detached home. This striking property we discuss below is a duplex villa, but the views are close and truly panoramic, and the location is as good as it gets. The reality is that, without an unlimited budget, there are always trade-offs. It is not possible to get a detached villa in such a good location, offered in first-class condition and ready to rent to the luxury market in a prime beachside location at this price point, and for investors focused on rental returns, a duplex villa with panoramic close sea views can achieve equally strong performance.
Positioned within the private Sunset Cove estate on the north-east peninsula, this fully renovated three-level duplex villa occupies one of the most desirable headland settings in Tongsai Bay. With panoramic close bay views and direct beach access via a private estate path, it combines elevated sea views with genuine walkable proximity to the shoreline - a rare pairing in this part of Koh Samui.
The villa has been completely refurbished to a very high specification and is presented turnkey with premium furnishings throughout. Its location within Plai Laem places it just minutes from multiple beaches, the Six Senses Resort, Chaweng, Samui International Airport and Bo Phut, making it both lifestyle-oriented and strategically positioned for rental demand. Low estate fees of THB 3,500 per month further strengthen its long-term holding appeal.
Layout and Living Configuration
Designed for indoor-outdoor living, the main floor centres around an open-plan lounge, dining and kitchen space framed by floor-to-ceiling glass doors that open onto a split-level sun terrace. The infinity-edge pool includes integrated seating and a children’s bench, while the terrace design separates the pool deck from the main entertaining area.
The upper level houses three en-suite double bedrooms, each finished with modern rain showers. The master suite benefits from a large private balcony overlooking the bay.
On the lower floor, a self-contained apartment includes an additional en-suite bedroom, living area and laundry space. Currently configured as a games room, this level offers flexibility for guest accommodation or extended stays, bringing the total to four bedrooms across three floors and five bathrooms overall.
Tenure and Investment Profile
The villa is offered with both freehold via company structure (share transfer or company takeover) and leasehold options. The land is secured with a Chanote title.
Its premium north-east location, short beach access, panoramic sea views and versatile layout position it equally for private residential use or rental investment. Delivered by one of the island’s leading developers and maintained in immaculate condition, it represents a high-quality turnkey opportunity within one of Koh Samui’s most established coastal enclaves.

Freehold Beachfront Resort Condo for Sale at Laem Set Beach, Koh Samui
Beachfront resort condo in Laem Set, Koh Samui
Why This Property Stands Out
We chose to feature this property because, in Koh Samui, freehold condominiums in the medium to luxury sector are virtually non-existent, and this one is even more rare because of its beachfront location. Positioned within the established Sasha Resort on Laem Set Beach, operational since 2010, it offers a combination that is difficult to replicate on the island: direct beachfront access, mature resort infrastructure, and legally licensed foreign freehold ownership.
Unlike many properties that require company structures or leasehold arrangements, this unit sits within a fully licensed condominium development and falls within the foreign freehold quota. For buyers prioritising simplicity, transparency and long-term holding clarity, this materially reduces structural complexity. The added benefit is access to a functioning, full-service resort environment rather than a standalone residential block.
Layout and Living Configuration
The condo provides 224 sqm of internal living space, arranged for both full-time residential use and holiday living. The open-plan living and dining areas connect directly to a private sea view balcony, offering close ocean views within a landscaped beachfront setting.
Three bedrooms and four bathrooms create a layout suited to family occupation or rental flexibility. The established resort setting includes cascading swimming pools, mature tropical gardens, a large communal pool, fitness gym and on-site spa facilities. The overall design prioritises open green space and low-density beachfront living along Samui’s quieter south coast.
Tenure and Investment Profile
This unit forms part of a legally licensed condominium development, allowing foreign buyers to register freehold ownership directly in their own name under Thailand’s condominium regulations. As the unit falls within the 49% foreign freehold quota, no company structure or leasehold arrangement is required.
Located in Laem Set on the south coast, approximately 10–12 minutes from Lamai and around 40 minutes from Samui International Airport, the property combines beachfront lifestyle appeal with straightforward legal structure. It is suitable as a primary residence, holiday home or long-term investment within an established resort environment.

New 4-Bed Villas at Coast Breeze Residences, Bang Por, Koh Samui
Sea view pool villas at Coast Breeze, Bang Por, Koh Samui
Why This Property Stands Out
This villa development was chosen for three key reasons: it is brought to market by a proven local developer with previously completed villa projects in Chaweng Noi; it is located in Bang Por, one of Koh Samui’s up-and-coming investment areas; and the project offers flexible ownership options, including renewable long-term lease and full freehold with the land title deed.
The developer, The Wave Real Estate Group Co., Ltd., has been active in Koh Samui since 2013, with completed contemporary sea view projects including The Wave I and The Wave II in Chaweng Noi. Coast Breeze Residences represents a continuation of that mid-market sea view villa model, but within a more structured gated estate environment on the island’s north-west coast.
Unlike resort-style condominium projects, this is designed as a managed residential community. Shared facilities including a clubhouse, landscaped common areas, gym, paddle tennis court, café and children’s play area create infrastructure that supports both owner occupation and rental management. The developer’s associated company, XSeed Property Management, provides property and rental management services, offering an operational framework beyond a standalone villa purchase.
Layout and Living Configuration
These 4-bedroom villas provide 215 sqm of contemporary indoor-outdoor living space arranged across three levels. The Type E configuration is designed to maximise sea views from the elevated Bang Por setting, while separating private sleeping areas from shared living spaces.
Two principal bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms are positioned on the upper levels, while the remaining bedrooms are located on the lower level. Open-plan living areas connect directly to the private swimming pool, with full-height openings enhancing light, airflow and connection to the surrounding landscape.
The development is located approximately 400 metres from Bang Por Beach, known for its calm waters and relaxed atmosphere. Maenam, Bo Phut and Nathon Town are all easily accessible, with international schools, hospitals and shopping centres within roughly 10 minutes by car.
Tenure and Investment Profile
The villas are available on a freehold via company structure or leasehold basis. This flexibility allows buyers to align ownership structure with their long-term plans while benefiting from a formally organised gated estate.

Bang Por has seen no noticeable development in recent years, especially in the medium-priced sea view villa sector. This is because of its proximity to the north-east region - just 10 minutes along the ring road to Bo Phut - captivating island views towards Koh Phangan, a more relaxed setting that still retains more of a genuine tropical atmosphere than more developed areas, and greater availability of reasonably priced ocean view land than areas in the north-east such as Chaweng Noi. The combination of sea views, managed community facilities and structured ownership options positions Coast Breeze Residences as a practical entry point into an emerging micro-location of the Koh Samui market.
