Karpe Diem Living

This palatial villa has been designed to deliver the ultimate experience in holiday living, where the lush outdoors become an effortless extension of the chic interior. The overall colour scheme is elegantly pale with crisp whites complementing rich earthy tones, allowing the enthralling blue of the ocean and the pristine sparkle of the pool to take centre stage. The architecture focuses on massive glass windows and fluid open-plan spaces, allowing for an endless sense of light and space.

Living Room

The endlessly spacious living room features luxuriously elegant cream-coloured sofas big enough to host a roaring round of cocktails or simply to stretch out for a solitary afternoon nap. The living room is effortlessly connected to the outdoor deck, allowing the lines between indoor and outdoor spaces to blur into a deliciously summertime way of life.

Dining Room

The villa offers ample opportunity for exquisite entertaining. Set the table outside on the lavish terrace or opt for the formal indoor dining room instead – both offer enough space for the whole party, with the decadent addition of stellar ocean views accompanying your every meal. For those looking to WOW the crowds with home-cooked fare, the villa offers an immaculately well-appointed kitchen to make your culinary dreams come true.

Garden & Pool

The heavenly villa is blessed with two infinity pools, each dripping with unrivalled luxury right on the edge of this hillside retreat. The pools’ clear cool waters offer the absolute perfect spot for taking in the jaw-dropping views overlooking the ocean, while the lavish deck hugging the pool is simply waiting to host an unforgettable cocktail party with guests draped over the luxe deckchairs watching as the sun sinks into the glimmering ocean.

As a divine final flourish, the villa is held in the soft embrace of a private tropical garden, working as the perfect buffer between the tranquil property and the hectic pace of everyday life.

    A stunning villa that stimulates all of your senses.
    We spent 5 wonderful days at Karpe Diem. The villa has stunning views overlooking Chaweng Noi beach and is only a short drive to Chaweng town. From the moment you arrive you cannot help but be captivated by the scale and beautiful design of the building. It has two large infinity pools with very comfortable beach chairs. There are also a number of living and dining areas for socialising or escaping to a quiet corner to read your book, including a great pool room which also has a mahjong table. The bedrooms are very spacious and have large ensuites. My bedroom (which was not the master) had a large stone bath with a separate shower and a balcony with lounge chairs. Every morning I watched the sunrise and listened to the birds chirping from my bed. The staff were excellent and not only kept the place looking immaculate, but also prepared the most delicious food and cocktails. My favourites were the prawn cakes, Massaman curry and Mai Tai cocktails but everything was amazing really. They also had a Nespresso machine so I could get a great coffee every morning! As we hadn’t hired a car they also arranged a driver to take us into town when we wanted to visit there one day to look around. And just when I thought it couldn’t get any better, there is also a massage room with a spa – I had a 1 hour oil massage that I would highly recommend. There is also a gym which I didn’t use but my friends said it was very good with a number of different cardio machines as well as free weights. This is truly a piece of paradise on earth and was the perfect place for our girls getaway.

    “Birthday celebrations”

    Stayed at Karpe Diem from 31st May to 3 June and simply it was awesome. The villa’s housekeepers are fantastic and the Mai Thai is to die for!! The villa really allows you to seize the moment and hence the name of the villa -Karpe Diem.
    The owners have thought of every detail -from pick up at the airport to drop-off at the airport.

    Its a place where you can really chill and relax and just enjoy the view of the Gulf of Thailand. Restaurants are very close by – taxi away and again the villa has excellent arrangements to take you anywhere on the island and bring you back to the comfort of the villa.

    For those who want to continue to keep fit – the gym with a massage room -will definitely make sure that the extra weight amassed by the excellent food and drinks don’t show when you stand infront of the mirror.

    Didn’t want to leave and already planning next trip back to Karpe Diem…..

    “True Paradise”

    Karpe Didem is the epitome of luxury. Nestled in the hills with superb views overlooking the sea, the villa has two pools, gym with a view, and pool table. There’s ample room to relax and the food is absolutely superb.

    There’s also plenty to do in the town…… if you can drag yourself away!!

    “Continually the Best in Samui”

    It has been a while since we were last in Samui but had to check if our new favourite Villa Karpe Diem was available. Not much more to add to previous reviews; they continue to win more awards, their staff and service are second to none, and given the competition in the top end villa space, that speaks volumes in itself.

    Having a fabulous time relaxing and enjoying everything the villa has to offer. Their most recent award was for the most luxurious resort in Thailand and given this is a private villa and not a resort, that was interesting, but we have found that like a resort we have no desire to leave; the villa has everything we need.

    “5 star stay at Villa Karpe Diem!”

    We loved our week long stay Villa Karpe Diem. From the moment we arrived the outstanding management team and household staff put us at ease. Everything from the airport transfer to in villa dining was seamless and personalized. We were only planning to have in villa breakfast but the food was so outstanding we decided to arrange for lunch and dinner several days as well. The villa was perfectly appointed, with incredible views (understatement), amazing chill out space and a gym and massage room to boot. It was a holiday to remember. We can’t wait to go back.

    “Best birthday celebration ever!”

    I had a weekend trip in Koh Samui and it was the best relaxing time I have had, watching over the sea from the various levels of the property, it’s just chillaxing every day. And blue, happily blue! Sky sea and pool!

    My requirements for a villa, everything clean, spacious, full of flowers, hot baths, oh the place has its own massage room too and jacuzzi on top of the 2 pools! We even get to pick massages indoor or outdoor, so posh! My friends brought some floaties and we just chill either in the pool or by the pool. Their kitchen is so stocked up I can easily find lime lemon mint etc for my various booze to go with, made me felt extra healthy when drinking. That’s what a real staycations are for.

    I must say I loved the 2 private chef’s cooking, and their effort in carving pretty garnish for every dish. We pretty much had 15 courses meal all the time and it was so fresh coz made in front of us. I even took pics of their fruit carving skills! They were quite professional coz when 8 egg orders during breakfast were made in one go, without using a notepad, she could actually remember who takes which style of eggs. That’s what I called professional.

    I loved how the team prepared a surprise birthday cake for me too and even decorated their BBQ area. It’s customization that won my heart.

    Arguably the villa is even better than the photos. Everything was top-notch. The staff was truly accommodating to every need. The chef was probably just as good as any restaurant we tried on Koh Samui. The location is quiet but provides easy-access to anywhere on the island. The views and rooms are outstanding. Minor quibbles – the shower water could be hotter and with better pressure – and there was some miscommunication on payment of deposit and incidentals – which must both be in THB cash – no card payments. Otherwise this is perhaps the best villa I have ever stayed in – despite many excellent experiences in Phuket and all over Bali. Without any hesitation – highly recommended.

    “A piece of Heaven, on Earth!”

    The Villa is out of this world… modern but stunningly beautiful in its layout.
    The bedrooms and bathrooms are fitted out to the highest level with wonderful views over the water and surrounding area. The elevation of the property provides a refreshing breeze and provides a myriad of views throughout the day and evening.

    Aoi and her husband provide a service second to none and their skills in cooking are exemplary. This is truly a villa worth visiting and I would be very happy to provide personal recommendations if needed.

    Fantastic Villa ; just as advertised
    Spent a lovely few days here. Was a beautiful villa. Looked at on TA and on their website; was exactly as advertised and no surprises. Staff were fantastic and the villa is just a few months old so everything works well. It is beautifully designed and my husband and I were very happy here – in fact it was awful to leave. We have already booked for next year. I would thoroughly recommend.
