Chaweng Noi Residence

When it comes to residential properties in Koh Samui condos and villas are the most popular. They differ between each other in price and the level of privacy they offer. While a two or three bedroom condo can offer the same views, proximity to the beach and finishings as a luxury villa, at a far lower price, the villa boasts more space, larger rooms and a level of intimacy that can’t be beat.

A small number of projects however, try to mix the two, offering a high class living experience that can be found only in a luxury villa while also adding all the benefits of a condo. The Chaweng Noi Residence has managed to bring together all the benefits of a villa and apartment into a unique project that celebrates all the beauty that Koh Samui has to offer.
The location of the project is its first real success as it is located only 240 meters away from one of Koh Samui’s most beautiful beaches. The site is surrounded by a rich canopy which mainly includes coconut trees, adding to the intimacy while also creating a green pleasant distraction from the clear sunny skies. The site is located on a small cliff thus offering a much better view of the surrounding area and of the beautiful beach and crystal clear water located just a short walk away.

The project consists of only 11 apartments, all boasting the very highest levels of luxury, quality and functionality. The apartments all come with their own balcony and come fully furnished with top of the line designer items. The layout of the apartments is unusual, offering a sense of space and a unique, relaxed vibe throughout them. Residents will no doubt enjoy the almost panoramic views while the small number of apartments in the whole project ensures an unrivaled level of intimacy. All this at the cost of a usual Koh Samui apartment makes the Chaweng Noi Residence project a noteworthy example for future developers.

The site also comes with a beautiful swimming pool, well thought out gardens and private security. The two buildings which make out the residential project integrate perfectly into the site, offering a pleasant continuation of the natural landscape.

The apartments are situated a short drive away from the centers of Chaweng and Lamai, two of the busiest, most exciting and exuberant cities in Koh Samui. There you will find great restaurants, charming pubs and a fine entertainment and culture scene.
