Dhevatara Cove Samui is one of the most luxurious and high-end estate developments constructed in Koh Samui. Consisting of five individual beachfront villas, traditional Thai architecture is utilized to integrate harmoniously with the natural beauty of the villas’ surroundings. Located in Lipa Noi, on a stunning part of the west coast, these equally stunning luxury homes provide a relaxing getaway for those who desire a refined and stylish living environment.
Villa Baan Chang at Dhevatara Cove Samui is the first but least visible of the villas when you enter the Dhevatara Cove Estate, its grounds follow the side of a forested headland that forms the tip of picturesque Lipa Noi bay. Villa Baan Chang occupies the largest of six Oceanside plots, and the luxurious living spaces and bedrooms are spread through a series of spacious stand-alone pavilions that sit on either side of an open-air central courtyard and 20-meter private swimming pool.
A winding path leads from the estate’s private road to the villa’s entrance through a charming lawned and landscaped garden where elephant statues hide in the foliage, giving the residence its Thai name. Guests enter the main part of the property via a series of wide steps over a soothing water feature, then pass beneath a grand, Thai-style pointed roof that represents the traditional Thai greeting or “wai”; the same shape is used for the roofs of the living and bedroom pavilions inside the villa.
Villa Baan Chang’s kitchen, dining room, and lounge occupy two pavilions on the right-hand side of the property, each sliding open fully onto the poolside terrace. A fully fitted western kitchen is positioned close to the entrance and features a breakfast bar for casual morning gatherings. From there, a corridor leads directly through to the ten-seater dining room, then there’s a small internal garden in front of the comfortably furnished lounge pavilion, which opens out at one end onto a beachside terrace, itself furnished with day-beds.
Villa Baan Chang at Dhevatara Cove Samui's five generous en-suite double bedrooms all slides open onto the enchanting tropical grounds. Two of the suites are close to the villa entrance, while one is located above the kitchen and boasts its own private, ocean-view terrace. Another bedroom sits poolside, and the master suite occupies its own beachside pavilion offering views of the soft sand and gentle waves right from the bed.
Even guests with royal blood would most likely feel right at home at Baan Chang. The exceptional beachside location, sumptuous furnishings, verdant surroundings, and carefully selected art and artifacts all combine to create a sense of special privilege that’s a rare pleasure, even on a boutique island like Koh Samui.
