Samui Ridgeway, Thailand

An exceptional, fully serviced private estate and spa with breathtaking views from its mountain top position close to the sandy beaches and deserted islands of Southern Koh Samui.

Nestled into a ridge of hills the estate looks over lush vegetation and coconut trees. Designed to compliment the views & blend with the landscape, many of the beautiful rocks have been incorporated giving it natural fusion on a 2.5 acre site. The property has five buildings linked together by shady verandas and terraces giving true meaning to indoor/outdoor living, with places to be together or seek your own individual space to read or relax in a quite area or sunbathe. Exquisite furniture using Jim Thompson and Thai silk fabrics are used throughout. Luxury Personified.

Newly completed January 2009.

About the owners:
An English couple who have lived in Europe for many years before retiring to Samui 5 years ago. Previous life involved with Sunseeker Boats, Luxury Lifestyle, Spa and health, Corporate Entertainment and Events. We chose Samui as it is so breathtaking, tranquil, friendly, safe and a warm climate all year round. Samui Ridgeway was created to give small groups the most exclusive holiday experience or corporate event. Our experience helps us to anticipate the needs of clients that are used to the best of the best with every detail looked after. A place to really switch off from the stresses and strains of modern life. The private spa environment gives true meaning to pampering, using natural holistic methods of healing along side modern techniques. All the spa products are designed by us; we have our own spa product company here.
