The Experience
Akuvara is not a place for traditionalists. The monochrome framed buildings and a heavy emphasis on glass add a contemporary twist to an otherwise natural setting, giving the villa its own distinctive modern ambience. That is not to say guests lose out on the tropical island experience. On the contrary, the entire property gravitates towards the pool and beach beyond, with an attractive beachfront sala (gazebo) adding the finishing touch.
Inside, the villa boasts no less than three separate lounge areas (one of them upstairs with stunning views over the beach), and this allows guests to do their own thing, day and night, if desired. Outdoor options include lazing on daybeds in the sala on sun loungers by the pool, or dining alfresco on the terrace while drinking in the views. Indoors, the lounge connecting to the pool terrace is a great spot to pass the evening, with its comfortable sofas and large flat-screen TV with plug-in hard drive, fully stocked with the latest films and an impressive music library.
The bedrooms have everything you need on a beachside break but are practical rather than extravagant. That said, the outdoor tub in the master bedroom certainly adds a little romantic something. A stand-alone building at the rear of the property houses an upper-level bedroom studio with ensuite kitchen, creating options for friends sharing, but overall the villa’s compact layout seems best suited to families and couples.
Live-in staff cope admirably with everything from cleaning rooms to setting tables, making breakfast and covering basic laundry needs. A full-time chef adds to the indulgent experience - try a succulent seafood barbecue by the pool, and a villa manager ensures all runs smoothly.
Lipa Noi south is one of Koh Samui's most secluded beaches. The water is clear and a good depth for swimming and although you can see the ferry pier from the beach, it's far enough away not to cause bother. You can happily spend days doing little more than swimming, lounging and taking a kayak (included) for a paddle around the bay.

Intelligent Contemporary oceanfront style and comfort.
Initially, we felt the three lounge areas to be excessive, but with kids in tow the option of a separate entertainment room in the evenings definitely appeals, and the upper floor lounge adds a new dimension to sunset cocktails.
The staff are courteous and try hard to meet every request. Despite the occasional language barrier they manage to run everything smoothly while remaining unobtrusive and the English-speaking manager ensures the villa runs smoothly and deals with things like tour bookings and restaurant recommendations.
This part of Lipa Noi offers a nice balance between seclusion and diversion. You can happily spend days doing very little, but a short drive to the other side of the peninsular brings you to some decent resort restaurants, as well as the Nikki Beach Club, which is far more sophisticated a venue than you'd expect to find in such a secluded location.
In some ways Akuvara felt like two villas in one. The studio at the rear of the property feels like an independent unit, but would certainly be a useful addition for a full family gathering. The option to rent the villa without this fourth bedroom, however, makes Akuvara a great choice as a functional but comfortable family getaway.
If there is such a thing as villa envy then staying at Akuvara may inspire it as the villas close-by are significantly larger and more opulent than this one - but come with a much higher price tag. Yet despite its compact design, Akuvara still boasts the full range of amenities required to provide a pleasant beachside escape. Between the pool and the beach you never want for daytime pleasures and lazing in the ocean-front sala with a cool drink and a book must surely rate as one of life's finer moments.

Highlights
The wooden sala by the swimming pool is an ideal place to laze around and enjoy the superb views during the day with two daybeds right on the edge of the beach and pool. Two separate living areas mean children can be nearby while still enjoying their own entertainment options. The location is private and peaceful, but having other villas nearby creates opportunities for kids (and adults) to make new friends on the beach.
Surprises
The plot next door is empty and at times does seem to be something of a dumping ground for local fishermen although the villas make an effort to keep it clean. The bedrooms are not huge and can seem a little ‘boxy’ but are ideal for those who like their privacy when on holiday, as they are all situated in their own pavilions and black out curtains guarantee peaceful sleep.
PROs
- Absolute beachfront with heart-soaring sea and island views
- Ideal for family holidays, all ages, or small groups of friends
- Mouthwatering Thai, Asian and Western cuisine
- Serenely quiet area for lazy relaxation
CONs
- Rear bedrooms lack sea views
- Neighbouring villas either side
- Occasional noise from nearby ferry pier

Location
Akuvara sits at the quieter south side of the Lipa Noi peninsular. There is nothing of consequence in the immediate vicinity of the villa, which ensures complete peace and quiet. The soft sandy beach is secluded and the sea is deep enough for swimming for most of the year. A small jetty for ferries to the mainland sits a few hundred metres left of the villa, its only impact being the occasional announcement of a departure. Local life centres on a small fishing village towards the end of the bay, which is also the chef's source of fresh seafood.

About Lipa Noi
One of Koh Samui’s best-kept secrets, Lipa Noi boasts three kilometres of curved white sandy beach smack in the middle of Koh Samui's west coast. With its local village ambiance and laid-back beachside vibe, Lipa Noi makes an ideal destination for family holidays or a special getaway with friends. If stunning sunsets, calm crystal waters, fine sands, swaying coconut palms and a selection of exceptional private luxury villas tick your boxes, then take a closer look at Lipa Noi.
The picturesque sandy beach here is one of the best on the island for kids, and there’s plenty of shade from the coconut palms lining its edge. Calm and very shallow water means year-round safe swimming and a good choice of watersports, and although Lipa Noi is only five minutes from the mainland ferry pier, it is the most serene and untouched beach on Koh Samui’s west coast. For a carefree family holiday, Lipa Noi is hard to beat.
You’ll find plenty of places to eat, both on and off the beach and a massage under the shade of a palm tree, with views across the island-speckled waters of the Gulf of Siam, is easy to fix. Lipa Noi is also close to a number of popular Koh Samui attractions, including the island’s main waterfalls at Namuang, the Magic Buddha Garden high in the hills, and Paradise Park Farm, a family friendly adventure with a hilltop pool, animal and bird feeding and amazing views.
Although Lipa Noi and the west coast of Koh Samui is better known for its peace, quiet and exclusivity, it’s also home to one of Samui's trendiest beach clubs, the Nikki Beach Resort, which draws visitors from across the globe.
With some of Koh Samui’s most sought-after accommodation located close to the beach and in the lush forested hills above the ocean, a Lipa Noi luxury private villa holiday is guaranteed to deliver total rest and relaxation.
About Koh Samui
The third largest island in Thailand, Koh Samui is just 21km at its widest point and 25km at its longest. The hinterland consists of forested limestone hills and the shoreline is made up of countless coconut palm-fringed beaches and bays.
Traditionally a coconut plantation and fisherman's haven, in the last few years the island has grown into a major holiday destination with regular connections to Bangkok and direct flights from Hong Kong and Singapore. Despite rapid development, Samui is small enough to retain its charm and its modest size also makes it a convenient, laid back location even during busy seasons.
As well as fine beaches, Samui is known for recreation, relaxation and fine food. The blue waters of the Thai Gulf provide a wealth of possibility for water sports, while on land the island is well known for its professional and indulgent spas and health retreats. Fresh seafood is a specialty at most of Samui's restaurants, but you can also enjoy food from almost every corner of the globe thanks to the island's strong international influences.
Each beach on Samui has its own particular character and ambience. The east coast beaches of Chaweng and Lamai are busy, commercial areas with everything from beach vendors to fast food chains, while to the north, Bang Rak and Bo Phut have a more relaxed local village atmosphere. Beaches like Lipa Noi and Laem Set on the western and southern shores feel much more remote and untouched.
Koh Samui combines comfort and convenience with a sense of real escape and this has made it a popular choice for residential as well as tourist development. The island is an eclectic blend of nature and sophistication, one that draws repeat visitors every year to indulge in its tropical delights.
Rooms
From Akuvara’s gated entrance, a sandstone courtyard leads to a central walkway which winds down past sleeping and living pavilions to the pool terrace, garden and beach. The villa's design is unashamedly modern, but sandstone bricks and olive detail create a sense of harmony with the natural surroundings
The two-storey living pavilion at the far end of the walkway houses a small, but well-equipped kitchen and two separate lounge areas downstairs, plus a glass fronted ‘sea lounge’ upstairs where two daybeds are positioned to enjoy the stunning views over to nearby islands. The downstairs lounge areas both feature attractive water-hyacinth furniture and large flat-screen televisions, and DVDs, connected to the villa’s state-of-the-art music and movie hard drive. At the front of the living pavilion, large sliding doors open onto the spacious pool terrace, where a dining table seats eight, perfect for starlit meals.
The 13 x 5m blue-tiled infinity pool is a constant daytime draw and features an attractive, Thai-style wooden sala complete with two daybeds facing the quiet beach and sea beyond. The dining room is set in its own pavilion – but easily accessed from the kitchen – and boasts a large wooden table (seating eight) and contemporary Thai artwork on the walls.
Three of the four bedrooms are housed in their own pavilions. All have air conditioning, ceiling fans and televisions and two have king-size beds while the third has twin beds. As well as its king-size bed, the master bedroom - which looks directly out towards the sea – has an indulgent ensuite bathroom with an outdoor stone bathtub, partially shaded from the elements and overlooking a small courtyard and a walkway to the beach. All the other bathrooms have both overhead and hand-held showers. The fourth bedroom (more of a studio) is located on the upper level of a two-storey building at the entrance to the villa, above the double garage. With its own kitchen, ensuite bathroom and large, comfortably furnished balcony overlooking the rest of the villa and the sea beyond, this king-bedded suite is perfect for guests who want to be a little more private or self-contained.
