How to get to Samui
Samui is easily accessible by direct flight from Bangkok or Kuala Lumpur.
From the airport, it is roughly 30 minutes’ drive to the Miskawaan Luxury Beachfront Villas. The hotel can organize airport pick up in a private car.
TIP: We did ask the driver to stop at Tesco Lotus, the biggest supermarket on the island, on the way so that we could stock up on snacks and drinks for the villa
Check-in at Miskawaan villa
The property is composed of 11 beachfront villas each with a private pool and direct access to a natural stretch of beach.
We booked Villa Frangipani. A 5 bedrooms villa right on the beach which accommodates up to 10 people.
Our driver dropped us directly to our villa.
Our villa manager was waiting for us with welcome drinks. She gave us some practical information about the house and Samui.
Within 30 minutes of arriving, we were swimming the pool
Review of The Miskawaan Villa Frangipani
Villa Frangipani is a spacious beachfront villa.
The villa is perfect with a lounge, kitchen, and both indoor and outdoor dining areas. We were assisted by a remarkable villa manager, chef, and maids.
Villa Frangipani is gorgeous.
One side of the house is occupied by an outdoor dining area, a large living room and kitchen. The villa is large and affords guests a room to socialize as well as places for privacy.
The master bedroom is located at the front of the villa next to the swimming pool. The master has a large bed and a large bathroom with a sunken bathtub. It is facing the ocean. You can fall asleep by the sound of the wave. The remaining bedrooms are nestled in the back and enjoy garden views. They are also comfortable albeit a bit smaller. Other bedrooms don’t have a bathtub.
TIP: there were many mosquitoes in the bedrooms. The villa provided a mosquito plug-in repellent, but it was not enough. So I recommend getting a few extra ones. The master bedroom is too big for just one plugin.
The pool is located in the center of the house and is just next to the beach. What a relaxing setting this is.
The wifi is working very well.
We spent our days alternating between swimming in the sea, in the pool and lounging on the chairs provided.
The waves in front of the house are very gentle so it is suitable for children
TIP: Do not forget to bring an inflatable air mattress.
The sunsets were extraordinary moments, and we enjoyed getting in the sea with a drink to watch it.
TIP: If you swim ( or Kayak) 30-50 meters away from the shore, you can actually see the sunset.
The Location of Miskawaan villa Samui is good. Right on the beach, yet it still has perfect privacy.
The food at Miskawaan Villa Samui
We could choose to eat in the villa and have the chef cook for us or go out to one of the numerous nearby restaurants.
Food prepared by the villa chefs was good. Dishes were fresh, original, well seasoned and delicious.
The villa has a fully equipped kitchen.
All we had to do was to inform our villa manager on the morning of what we would like for breakfast, lunch and/or dinner.
The BBQ dinner was also fantastic. Scallops on the shell, lobsters, and shrimps were all cooked to precision.
Each day we were allowed to choose the time for our breakfast to be served. We were told any dietary restrictions could be met. Also if something wasn’t offered on the menu that we would like, the chef would try and make it.
What is excellent about Miskawaan villas is that they are only 5 minutes’ walk from a busy street with 10-20 restaurants. We went out for dinner a few times. Our favorites restaurants include Babu’s and Passa.
Activities at Miskawaan Villa Samui
The daily program while staying at Miskawaan Luxury Beachfront Villas goes roughly like this: Wake up by the sound of the wave Swim in the sea Swim in the Pool Lounge on a lounge chair by the beach Float on your inflatable mattress Repeat…
Some days, we also added the kayaking activity. Kayaks are provided free of charge by Miskawaan Luxury Beachfront Villas.
There is a massage place on the beach near the villa’s if you walk to the left. Not the finest but great to have a massage by the sound of the waves …. rates are quite affordable.
There is also a small gym in the villa complex if you feel like exercising.
To be honest, we were so comfortable lounging in the villa that our grand plans to explore Samui got a bit side-tracked. But if you feel like it, there is much to explore.
The Villa manager can help with renting a car or a motorbike to go and explore the island. Self-driving is possible as the roads are quite good and the traffic relaxed
There are night markets, cafes, and bars within walking distance.
The fisherman’s village and Chaweng just a short ride away. The hotel can also arrange various day tours around the island.
Possible activities include other beaches visits, jet skiing, kite surfing, national marine parks, eco safaris at Na Maung, elephant ride tours and cooking lessons.
