Villa Ban Mekkala is a gorgeous beachfront retreat in Bang Kao beach, Samui, with its sandy shores ending where the villa property begins. With the ocean at your doorstep, you can imagine the wonderful things in store for you! An infinity swimming pool is just the perfect touch to this mesmerising setup so you can always feel close to the ocean. With six bedrooms housed around the gardens, the villa has been designed to maximise on its natural abundance. The traditionally-designed living and dining pavilions will wow you with their warm interiors that draw you in to enjoy the comfortable ambiance!
The six garden bedrooms are found around the swimming pool and tropical gardens at Villa Ban Mekkala for ease of access and ample privacy. The master bedroom is the most spectacular of all rooms with a king-sized bed, private quarters, and a luxurious en-suite bathroom. Two bedrooms are found in the main pavilion, while the four other bedrooms are a little further down the way.
They are air-conditioned to keep them cool during peak afternoon hours or throughout the day. The large glass sliding doors allow for ventilation and natural lighting during the daytime! En-suite bathrooms are fitted with freestanding bathtubs and other necessary amenities.

From the living and dining pavilion, the adjoining terrace connects to the inner courtyard via a stairwell that leads to the lush, tropical gardens! They have been manicured and trimmed for a fresh and well-maintained look with blooming flowers, palm trees, and dense foliage. An infinity swimming pool is laid out on the gardens extending out to meet the ocean for a trippy experience. The beach is right across from the periphery of the villa so you can easily head down if you wish. There are sun chairs on the pool deck for lounging and sunbathing and a tube slide perfect for kids!
The main living pavilion at Villa Ban Mekkala is a traditional wonder with a high-pitched wooden ceiling graced by a stunning crystal chandelier. The hand-carved wooden doors and open-plan layout all add to the charm and splendour of this gorgeous and comfortable living space. There are sofas for you to rest on and even to take a nap, while enjoying the fresh, natural breeze and views of the garden. There are deck chairs on the adjoining terrace as well so you can take a rest out in the open air.
For dining purposes, the villa prides itself in offering not one but two equally exciting options. There is a splendid alfresco dining pavilion housed under a traditional sala with views across the ocean and a 12-seater dining table. Another indoor dining area is found in the main living pavilion leaving the choice of where to dine upon your shoulders! A fully-equipped, western kitchen is completely at your disposal and it is well-fitted with all appliances and amenities.
The villa is as close to the beach as can be and thus, offers plenty of services to make your time useful and entertaining. Kayaks and paddleboards are available to guests that they can take for a spin along the private boat channel. With direct access to the beach, you have all the time in the world to truly experience tropical living. However, during low tide, the reef at the Beach extends up to 100 meters, revealing ample space for various activities like beach volleyball, football, and exploring rock pools. It's also a great opportunity for children to safely collect shellfish and enjoy the excitement of discovering marine life. The staff is friendly and will help you with whatever you want!
The villa is located on Bang Kao beach which is a tranquil spot for a relaxing holiday with loved ones. For sightseeing, you can visit the Laem Sor Pagoda for a cultural trip through Thailand’s many exciting traditions.
10/10Best Villa in a dream location in Koh Samui with the best Hospitality Team
10/10This villa is a very rare find....amazing beachfront which is perfect for long walks and a lush and spacious property perfect for a holiday get-away. We stayed with three other couples and all of our children....relaxing and many activities at your fingertips. The living area both near the kitchen and beside the pool is very comfortable with friendly staff who are excellent cooks. We look forward to returning!! Many thanks again
10/10My extended family of 9 stayed in this wonderful Villa for one week in June 2014. This turned out to be the proverbial "vacation of a lifetime". The Villa and staff exceeded our high expectations. The Villa manager, Fi, and her staff responded to all of our needs and desires. We had virtually all of our meals at the Villa, and I must say, the Thai and western food was absolutely superb. We decided not to rent a car, and instead used the Villa driver and van for excursions on the island. This was a really good move, and I'm glad that I did not have to drive in sometimes hectic road conditions. Fi accompanied us on all trips, including several to a tailor, where we all had custom fitted suits and dresses made. The outdoor cinema, which uses a projector and a large roll down screen, is terrific as we enjoyed movies most evenings via our iPhones and iPads using Apple TV. Before arriving at the Villa, we stayed several days in Bangkok. We never saw a military person or a demonstration, and always felt secure. Bangkok hotels and restaurants were almost empty, and we were treated like royalty. In my opinion, this is a wonderful time to visit Thailand.
10/10We had an amazing time at Crystal Villa. We had a group of 10 girls and everyone enjoyed our stay at the villa. The view is amazing (with glimps of sunset) as we are on the hill top. The pool feels like an infinity pool with great view. Most importantly, the staff are all very friendly and excellent cooks. We went out for a couple of meals and still felt the food at the villa are better than the food at the restaurant, so we ended up eating at the villa most of the time. Great way to spend your vacation!
10/1011 of us spent 2 weeks over Xmas and new year in this wonderful villa by the sea in the quiet south of Koh Samui. Beautifully designed with care and no little artistry, this is a simply fabulous place to unwind, rest, heal and restore. Lots of spaces to gather communally or read on your own, the inviting sea before you, the infinity pool is quite fabulous and, at around 20m in length, is able to accommodate lap swimming. What raises this villa from the merely fabulous to the simply sublime are the charming, helpful and thoughtful staff who discreetly tend to your every need: the fabulous cooking of Tum the chef; the lovely cleaners Sai and Kai; the helpful driver Eak; the cheerful and ever smiling Coco who tends the garden; but rising above even all of these wonderful people is the delightful Fai, the villa manager, who made our holiday the success it was by her patient answering of all our many questions and requests we bombarded her with on a daily basis. Thank you Fai. Thank you Ban Mekkala for the lingering memories.
10/10I can say without any hesitation that my stay at Ban Mekkala was the best holiday I've had. A large group of 11 of us stayed here over Christmas and New Year and the house quite exceeded all of my expectations. Beautifully situated in a quiet and peaceful part of the island, the house was tranquil and luxurious in equal measures. Separate sleeping quarters gave us the privacy we needed but big communal spaces meant we could comfortably relax together. The house has fantastic facilities, including one of the most beautiful swimming pools I've ever seen, and the moment you step off the property you find yourself on an exquisite beach, which is calm and unspoilt.
