Modern, inviting and imbued with a sense of serenity, Rambutan Villa is a three bedroom retreat made for a restful vacation. The villa’s beautifully landscaped grounds are made for lounging and relaxation - as are its finely appointed interiors. With kid-friendly amenities, babysitting services (available at additional cost) and impeccable hospitality, the villa is set up for sharing among friends or families with young children.
Each of the three bedrooms at Rambutan Villa looks out to the sparkling pool and beautifully manicured gardens. Similar to the common spaces, the décor is kept minimal with earthy hues and elegant wood furnishings.
The master bedroom stands out with features like a double bed and indoor-outdoor en suite. Both guest bedrooms contain private en suites but offer different bed configurations; one of the rooms comes outfitted with a double bed while the other features twin singles.
Rambutan Villa’s lush, sun-soaked compound offers ample spaces for outdoor relaxation. There’s the beautiful pool - which comprises of a plunge pool with waters cascading down like a waterfall into the main pool. Sun recliners set under patio umbrellas are a welcome addition, as are the well-manicured foliage surrounding the compound. A thatched roof sala outfitted with lounging chairs offers a comfy spot for shaded siestas.
With its open plan, light-filled pavilions, Rambutan Villa is a holiday home built for tropical living. Cooling breezes flow through the common areas, made up of a lounge, dining area and kitchen. Natural wood and terracotta tiles are featured heavily in the décor, as are soothing earth-toned colours.
A multi-channel satellite TV with DVD player offers entertainment, while Wi-Fi access throughout the property keeps you well connected with friends and family back home. The western kitchen, furnished with wooden cabinets and polished countertops comes equipped with a full range of cooking amenities. It opens out to a terrace furnished for al fresco dining.
Vacationers will feel right at home immediately, thanks to Rambutan Villa’s immaculate and affable service. Airport pick-up, daily breakfasts, housekeeping, personal guest services, security service and welcome drinks are included with your stay. A baby cot is available at request.
Available at additional cost are babysitting services, vehicle rental, in-villa chef services and in-villa massage treatments. Guests have access to the shared tennis court within the estate. Tennis rackets and balls are available for rental.
With its picturesque white sand beaches and laidback vibes, Choeng Mon is a great bet for families. Choeng Mon Beach, a favourite hangout among expat families due to its shallow waters and lack of busy tourist crowds is just seven minutes’ drive away. You’re not limited to sunbathing, swimming or beach strolls here - there’s snorkeling, scuba diving and even snookah diving if you’re up for trying a new water sport. Jetskis and banana boats are available for hire.
Away from the beach, there are yoga classes at The Yogarden Samui (15 minutes’ drive), Thai cooking classes at Island Organics (16 minutes’ drive) and top of the line spa rituals at Six Senses Samui (seven minutes’ drive).
With high-end restaurants and casual eateries located around your villa, you’ll have ample choices for dining out. SALA Samui Restaurant and Pangaea offer beautiful interiors and a cosy ambience, while The Orchard Restaurant and Bar and Garland Samui are great options for relaxed, fuss-free evenings.
Choeng Mon retains its tranquility well into the night, so the town doesn’t offer much in terms of nightlife options. If you’re after a vibrant beach party scene, hop into a car for a 16-minute ride to Chaweng Beach to soak up its lively ambience.
10/10We loved every bit of our stay at the villa and feel homesick already. We loved the house very much - our eleven-year-old daughter, Lara, is crying every single day (combined with some jet-lag) because she misses it. The location couldn't be better: rather secluded and right on the beach, yet within walking distance of the resort's restaurant. We went snorkeling daily for several hours. Although we've been on snorkeling trips, we never really found better places than just in front of the house and at Long Bay when we used the kayaks. Once we found ourselves surrounded by hundreds of thousands of fish (I am not exaggerating!) at Long Bay. It was really the whole Bay full of fish - from very tiny to 15 cm long. And then cruising in that sea of fishes there were ten or more beautiful silver Tarpons - about 1,5 to 2 meter long each. It was very peaceful in my eyes, although Rita and Lara were a bit afraid. It was an unforgettable experience. We also saw really beautiful turtles and very elegant large barracudas, rays - all kinds of reef fish - and a big living conch. The house was perfect to our use - designed with great taste. The kitchen was complete with chef-knives and all imaginable appliances (the best for us being the Japanese Teriyaki plate). The air-conditioning was fine-tuned all-over - what can a guest want more? Satin sheets covered the super king sized beds with the best mattresses. It was difficult to get out of sometimes! It was great. We also enjoyed what we call "double car-wash" showers and the super Jacuzzi. Outside we had a wonderful setting of beach-chairs perfectly located in front of the elegant pool and a top-notch BBQ. The staff at the resort was very friendly - really! People who visit the Caribbean often will know what we mean by that. We loved every bit of Rambutan!
10/10Hello...yes I have stayed in Rambutan Villa last September...it was totally private and beautiful. The concierge was so helpful, the private chef was excellent. The sunsets were beautiful!!! Driving to and from was a little dangerous...you have to take your time, but once your there it is worth it. Do not feed the roosters or they will wake you in the morning and not leave you alone. The lizards are sooo cute. Watch out for the scorpions or they may get in your shoes. Keep all doors shut at night. if you get a heavy rain you will see a mudslide come down the right side of the cliff along the villa. Take a camera! You should take advantage of the kayaks, but wear rubber shoes so you do not cut yourself on the coral. You have to visit Spanish Town and go to the Baths to snorkel. You may read my notes in the rambutan Guestbook as you go in the front door. Is this the first time in this villa? E-mail me and let me know how your trip was and if you have any questions. I would be glad to answer any you may have. I am from NJ. You must take full advanttage of the cottages in the back as well. Take a tape recorder to record all the sound from the jungle at night...it is an awesome experience!!!Sincerely, Linda Rose Enjoy!!!!
