This was a really great pick!

It was the best of both worlds, being able to spend time at the beach everyday and then withdraw to your own little sanctuary in the hills.  We’ve stayed in beach villas before and although direct access to the sand is nice, have found in the past that you can sacrifice a bit of privacy as well being so close. 

If you are looking to capitalize on ‘nightlife’ you are only 10 minutes to Chaweng or Lami (and there is lots to do in both towns) but we actually loved having our evenings in the villa so we could relax and de-stress from the daily grind.  Our party days have become much more refined so being able to access a cold beverage from the outdoor fridge a stones throw away from the pool lounger was perfect! 

We went to Chaweng for eating/shopping which was literally less than 10 minutes away but most nights preferred to bbq at the villa as the views were amazing.  The villa is extremely well maintained and was spotless on arrival.  We were travelling with another couple and there was a ton of space to stretch out in. 

Would definitely recommend and would stay here again.

We don’t usually stay in villas, we usually choose to stay in hotels, but as this was our second trip to Koh Samui we decided to try something different. The Calvie had been recommended by friends who had been there with younger children so we thought we would see what they were raving about.

We were thrilled with The Calvie.  The villa was the perfect size for our family – 2 adults and 2 children – as it meant the boys could each have their own room which is a luxury we never have when we stay in hotels. It also had great common space that we could relax in as a family, but was also big enough to allow us some time to ourselves away from the kids!

The infinity pool was amazing – the boys lived in it.  We found ourselves living outside in the big outdoor space around the pool as we could eat out there, have a bbq and it was also the perfect place to take in the amazing views with a cocktail in the evening. Having said this, we did spend a lot of time sampling the local cuisine (it is only a 5 minute drive down to the beach and another 5 minutes to the shops and restaurants of Chaweng) and we can’t thank the owners enough for the recommendations they gave us. I think it helped us avoid the more touristy – and expensive – restaurants.

The owners had obviously put a lot of thought into making sure we had the perfect relaxing stay, even down to providing international adaptors.  All in all, the villa was perfect for us and the modern furnishings made it feel like we were staying somewhere a lot more expensive.

Perfect Escape!

I wished we had stayed at the villa for our whole trip. It was the perfect for our first family holiday. The service we received was that of a luxury hotel, yet with the privacy and space you expect with the villa. The view from every room in the villa is breathtaking. We loved the fact that whilst our baby was sleeping we could enjoy our time at the pool, soak up the sun and feel that we were in paradise. We loved it and will be back again!

The place to be in Koh Samui!

We have just spent the most amazing week in this villa! We picked it from the online photos and were not disappointed for a minute.

Sitting in the infinity pool looking out to the beautiful green Thai hills and then the sea beyond, with a cocktail in hand is one of our fondest holiday memories ever.

The Calvie is so well set up…. We were 2 couples, plenty of privacy with each bedroom having the fabulous view and luxurious en suites. The fittings and finishing touches are beautiful and better than most 5 star hotels.

And when the 4 of us wanted to spend time together, the common area was also spectacularly fitted out with inside/outside living including barbecue and gourmet- style kitchen.

And all this just 5-10 minutes drive from the more predictable Thai experience of beaches and excellent restaurants and shopping in nearby Chaweng.

We have been to Thailand many times and this is definitely the best place we have ever stayed. Big thanks to our hosts, John and Julie, for making this such a fabulous experience.

An amazing place to stay during vacation.

The villa is exactly the same as pictures online, very new , clean, modern with facilities provide best convenience and relaxation, especially the infinite pool with amazing sea view. Service was really good as well. I would like to choose the same place to stay for next time.
