Discover one of the most inspiring beauty spots in Thailand, Koh Samui...
Ko Samui island is located in the southern province of Suratthani in the Gulf of Thailand, approximately 700 kilometers southeast of Bangkok.
Short direct flights to Samui island depart several times a day from Bangkok, Phuket, Kuala Lumpur, and Singapore. The airport is small and open air, just what you would expect from such a picture perfect tropical island. You can also arrive by train, bus and boat.
Samui island is Thailand's third largest covering an area of 247 sq km it is 25 kilometers at it's longest point and 21 kilometers at its widest.
Samui island is also known as the Coconut Island as it gives harvest to over two million coconuts each month.
Tourism in Samui is relatively new compared to other destinations but has still been active for about 30 years. In the last few years there has been a lot of new developments, the results of which you can mainly see on the east side of the island. Despite the recent developments, Samui remains a tropical paradise and anyone traveling there will have memories of a friendly, laid back atmosphere.
Much of Samui island, especially south coast, remains largely undeveloped. A day spent on a motorbike or in a jeep exploring this lush terrain is a day of sheer serendipity. The villa is located on a quiet part of the island so if you wish to have a calm and relaxing holiday, the setting is perfect.
Spent 10 days last April at Baan Sanlarn, best food I have had in Thailand, wonderful setting and beautifully and comfortably furnished with friendly attentive staff, could not recommend it more highly for anyone wanting a first class break in a stunning surrounding.
Wonderful villa in idyllic position overlooking fabulous beach. The most luxurious holiday imaginable with very friendly staff, delicious food and gorgeous surroundings - a little bit of paradise - highly recommended.
10 days of 5 star luxury what more could you ask for. Staff incredibly friendly and helpful chef fantastic house beautiful and once we had arrived it took only hours to totally relax and enjoy it all. We felt we had been away for a month!!
Quite the most stunning place we could ever imagined staying in. The staff made it all the more special_ Suzie celebrated her Birthday whilst we were there and they made it the most memorable night-candlelit dinner for 20 on the beach!! All in all much much more than 5 *!!!
Dhevatara Cove really is one of the most exquisite places to stay on the whole of Koh Samui! I found Baan Samlarn to be more than 5* and enjoyed a very relaxing, pampered and tranquil holiday. The staff are extremely friendly, discreet and helpful and the private chefs culinary skills are unmatched. I highly recommend Baan Samlarn and will definitely visit again!
Words fail us!! It's amazing...we have had the most wonderful week where we have been looked after exceptionally well. The Chef was truly incredible and the dishes he prepared were the best Thai food ever! A beautiful location, relaxing in incredible luxury and looked after by friendly staff..with a wondeful group of friends - memories to be 'stashed' away forever!!
a wonderful experience - in the midst of a credit crunch - the stay in Baan Samlarn allowed us all to think of the important things in life such as being with the people you love and thinking through priorities in life. The stay gave us all space to think through these issues and make plans for the future. We came back, after just 7 days, refreshed, invigorated and ready to take the next steps. Go there and see for yourself! Khun Fon and the team looked after us in a way that cannot be surpassed.
Just got back from having spent eight days in Baan Sanlarn. Awsome place, great food and the beach at the end of the garden is amazing. We went to lots of cool clubs on the island and was also a great base for access to Koh Phangan and its full moon parties. Wish I was still there.
Superlatives do not suffice for the splendour of this place. The location is idyllic - on the beach, facing the stunning sunsets. The rooms were amazing, the pool was like something out of a Disney film and the rest of the facilites, not to mention the service, were first class. My only regret is that now all my holidays will have to be judged by the high watermark set by Dhevatara Cove and I fear they might pail in comparison. Thank you for a fantastic time!
Fantastic location, Brilliant Service, Sunsets to Die for... Overall the Perfect Location for a long weekend or a 2 week break!! Have been back 3 times and hope to make it a yearly visit. The #1 place to stay in Koh Samui! Do it!!
Fantastic hospitality over the 4 days we were there. Khun Joy & the team were the perfect hosts, friendly & switched on and they didn't miss a thing.
Great setting & accomodation, see you all soon
Thanks again

Baan Samlarn has set the benchmark for future holidays and it will take a lot to match. The villa is truly amazing with incredible staff who look after you so well and nothing is ever too much trouble. The location is just perfect and I long to return! Thank you for such a fun and memorable stay.
An absolutely wonderful time. The villa at Dhevatara Cove is fantastic and the staff were incredible.
The only downside was we did not spend more time there...
Highly recommeded!
Very good post, thanks a lot.
Simply the perfect Winter break ! Our two families have just returned from the most incredible fortnight at Baan Samlarn . Idyllic location,stunningly luxurious house , attentive staff and the best Thai food ever ! We could not recommend it more .
Spent five magical nights of our honeymoon in Baan Samlarn. The staff were fantastic and made our stay very special. The food was out of this world....had great fun learning to cook some of our favourite Thai dishes. A wonderful place to relax and get away from it all, highly recommend it.
From the exquisite views, to the fresh, mouthwatering food, Baan Samlarn cannot be faulted. It is a place where you can completely relax, its idyllic nature makes it very hard to leave.
Khun Fon and her wonderfully groomed, smiley team were more than welcoming, and their service was impeccable, in fact, spoiling.
If you need a place to wind down with family or friends, Baan Samlarn is the answer, I wouldn't turn down a chance to return again for anything.
Thank you for sharing your little bit of paradise.
Another fantastic stay at Baan Samlarn, everything was just perfect. I wish I was still there, I am already longing to return!
From the minute you walk in the door and look out over the pool to the sea, all your worries disappear.
Khun Fon (villa manager) and her team did a fantastic job of looking after us, the food was superb.
A perfect start to 2011. Not only a beautiful place but delicious food and cocktails too! NO detox for us. Massage on the beach, Pedicures, Market shopping with delightful Khun Fon and Cooking lessons with the talented Khun Da for the girls. Golf, Fishing, Shooting and Cock fighting for the boys. ALL night partying and recovery by the pool for the teens. We loved it all and wish we were back there now!
