Rates are blank where no source states a USD nightly price. Live prices are in the map below.
Samui Blue Orchid
Samui Blue Orchid is a small Thai-style stay in Choeng Mon, on the north-east coast, with a one-bedroom villa that has its own private pool. The address is 74/120 Moo 5, and the resort’s page puts Samui Airport about 3 km away and Chaweng Beach about 15 minutes by car.
It suits couples who want a quiet base near the airport. The downside is that the page lists no rates. Checked October 2026.
The Lamai
The Lamai has pool villas on Lamai Beach in two sizes. The Pavilion Pool Villa is one bedroom at 105 m², and the Oceanfront Pool Villa is one bedroom at 165 m², each sleeping up to 3 guests according to the resort’s own page.
A Plunge Pool Suite at 50 m² is the cheaper way in. The honest downside is capacity: neither villa is a family home. The page mentions a Samui Discovery Package with a THB 1,500 nightly resort credit, so check what applies on your dates. Checked October 2026.
The Culture Samui
The Culture Samui sits on Bangrak Beach in Bophut and has two pool categories, both 64 m². The Pool Villa has a private pool of about 2.5 x 3.5 m, and the Beachfront Pool Villa has one of about 2.5 x 4 m with sea views, per the resort’s website.
With 51 rooms and villas, it is boutique in scale. The pools are plunge-sized, so expect a dip rather than laps. No rates are published. Checked October 2026.
Baan Haad Ngam Boutique Resort
Baan Haad Ngam Boutique Resort offers six pool villa types, from the 66 m² Beach Front Villa to the 220 m² Family Suite Pool Villa that sleeps 4–6. The address is on a private stretch of Chaweng Beach, about a 4-minute walk from the main beach strip.
That walk suits travellers who want restaurants nearby without sleeping on the main drag. The downside is Chaweng itself, the island’s busiest beach. No rates are listed. Checked October 2026.
The Library
The Library is a design-led Chaweng Beach property with 46 living spaces and a Secret Pool Villa line. A third-party guide, The Koh Samui Guide, lists the One-Bedroom Secret Pool Villa at 225 m² and the Two-Bedroom at 338 m², both with saltwater pools.
It is stylish, but the design is stark and the beach strip is lively. The resort’s gives no rates. Checked October 2026.
The Ritz-Carlton, Koh Samui
The Ritz-Carlton, Koh Samui describes private pool villas within its 175 rooms, suites and villas, set in a private bay at the island’s northern tip in Tambon Bophut. Suites start at 93 m², and two can connect through a shared foyer.
This is the pick for families who want resort services around a private pool. The page gives no bedroom counts for the villas and no rates, and the bay location means you are away from Samui’s nightlife. Checked October 2026.
Nikki Beach Resort & Spa Koh Samui
Nikki Beach Resort & Spa Koh Samui sits on the quieter west coast at Lipa Noi. The Koh Samui Guide lists a 300 m² Beachfront 2 Bedroom Private Pool Villa, which makes it one of the few options here for two couples travelling together.
The trade-off is distance from Chaweng and Bophut nightlife, though a beach club is on site. Confirm the villa category and rates with the resort. Checked October 2026.
Garrya Tongsai Bay
Garrya Tongsai Bay is a hillside-and-seafront resort in Choeng Mon with its own private beach. The Koh Samui Guide lists the 185 m² Tongsai Seaview Pool Villa and the 189 m² Wellbeing Seafront Pool Villa, with private pools of 3.3 x 7.3 m.
Those pools are larger than the plunge pools elsewhere on this list. Hillside rooms mean steps and buggies, which is a drawback for anyone with limited mobility. Confirm rates directly with the resort. Checked October 2026.
SALA Samui Choengmon Beach Resort
SALA Samui Choengmon Beach Resort has a 100 m² Garden Pool Villa and a 176 m² pool villa with one or two bedrooms, plus a 326 m² Signature Villa, according to The Koh Samui Guide.
Choeng Mon beach is calm, which suits families. Rates and current availability are unconfirmed; check the resort’s own page. Checked October 2026.
When to skip a private pool villa
Skip a private pool villa if you plan to be out all day. A plunge pool is wasted on a trip built around diving, hiking or island-hopping, and a standard room costs less.
Choose a hotel with a big shared pool instead if you have toddlers, since unfenced private pools need constant supervision. Read our Phuket vs Koh Samui comparison before locking in the island.
Where to stay
Choeng Mon suits couples and families who want a calm beach and short airport transfers. Samui Blue Orchid, Garrya Tongsai Bay and SALA Choengmon are here.
Bophut and Bangrak suit travellers who want the Fisherman’s Village feel and easy dining. For a fuller area-by-area breakdown, see our guide to where to stay in Koh Samui.
Chaweng is the party beach, and Lamai is quieter and more local. Lipa Noi on the west coast has sunsets and few crowds, but it is further from the action. For the rest of the trip, see the Koh Samui travel guide and the list of best things to do in Koh Samui.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which area of Koh Samui is best for a private pool villa?
Choeng Mon has three of the picks above and a calm beach, so it suits couples and families. Bophut is better for dining, Lamai for quiet, and Lipa Noi for west-coast sunsets. Chaweng is livelier and busier.
Do all private pool villas on Koh Samui have a full swimming pool?
No. Many are plunge pools, such as the roughly 2.5 x 3.5 m pool at The Culture Samui. Larger pools, such as the 3.3 x 7.3 m ones listed for Garrya Tongsai Bay, usually come with bigger villas. Check the pool size on the resort’s page.
Are private pool villas good for families?
Some are. Baan Haad Ngam has a Family Suite Pool Villa for 4–6 guests, and SALA lists one-to-two-bedroom pool villas. Ask the resort about pool fencing and depth for young children before booking.
What is the best time to book?
Rates move with season, and some resorts, including The Lamai, run longer-stay packages. Compare dates on the map above.
Can two couples share one villa?
Yes, if you choose a two-bedroom model. Nikki Beach Resort & Spa Koh Samui is listed with a 300 m² two-bedroom private pool villa, and The Library offers a two-bedroom Secret Pool Villa.
