Baan Hinta is a one-of-a-kind holiday rental on Hua Thanon beach surrounded by granite rock boulders, and with direct beach access, an excellent treat for guests. The beautiful, wooden and glass structure of the villa also gives it a mountainous vibe that is cosy and at the same time homely. Tropical gardens, infinity swimming pool, and a horde of activities are in store for you at the villa. Samui’s beaches and stunning locations are at your doorstep, and all you need to do is step outside to experience the most mesmerising sights one ever did see!
Steps leading from the main pavilion head downstairs to where you have the bedrooms, one of which is found poolside, a children’s room with a glass wall that sees straight underwater to the ocean’s belly! The four bedrooms are found below this level, with the master bedroom and another right beside the beach. The bedrooms are stunning to say the least, with some semblance to the signature rock formations somewhere in the interior makeup.
The master bedroom is the most spacious and furnished with a king-sized bed, whereas the others are furnished with comfortable king beds and twin bed. Each bedroom opens out to beautiful views of the ocean and is also fitted with TVs for entertainment. There are en-suite bathrooms with bathtubs and showers.
On the main floor with a terrace that serves as a sun deck, there is a beautiful, 20 metres long infinity swimming pool that is fringed by towering palm trees and peeking through them you can view the dazzling ocean. The stunning view will leave you breathless and it will be totally worth it! Sun chairs mark the pool deck, an ideal spot for sunbathing or dozing off under the tropical sun. For the sheer joy of all guests, there is an outdoor projector system for movie nights under the starry-night sky – now it can’t get any better than that!
The villa itself has granite boulders and rock formations in and around its bedrooms, living spaces, and outdoors! The beautiful landscape allows you to make the most of these naturally abundant surroundings. The structure is entirely wood and glass so you can enjoy the outside view at all times. It has been furnished with classy sofas and hand-crafted tables. With a high-pitched ceiling the entire room is made all the more spacious and gives you more breathing space. The delicate sunlight from outside illuminates each corner of the room.
The dining room has been equipped for almost 20 people at a time, so you can even enjoy a right feast here with delicious Thai offerings and other delightful dishes. The dining area is a few steps above the living area and opens out to a smaller garden with luscious vegetation. The room has been decorated with traditional artefacts and antiques for a nice touch!
The villa staff is kind and friendly towards guests, making sure that you settle in alright without a problem! There are kayaks and paddleboards for your use as the beach is right at your doorstep. For special requests, the staff is happy to make arrangements.
Baan Hinta is located on a quiet and serene spot on the beach to afford privacy and exclusivity to guests. The lack of tourists will allow you to enjoy the beach as your own private slice of paradise!
9.6/10Villa location, views, layout absolutely amazing, near Lamay village and beaches, close to Silver and Coral beach, really best location on the Island. Team service just perfect with brilliant property manager Mrs Gift. Sincerely perfect villa rooms service very private. Access to the beach with rocks stunning. A little fitness room/aera is missing but it is really a little point. Between 1 and 10 I will put 9.9 without hesitation.
9.6/10Just a wonderful stay with a great staff and a beautiful villa. The view is superb. The cook is exceptional. I recommend this villa. For your information, go to the beach with your shoes.
10/10Having started in Bangkok for 4 nights we were really looking forward to the peace of Koh Samui and Baan Hinta. To say we were not disappointed is an understatement!!, from arrival to departure the experience was amazing. The manageress, Gift, took care of every little issue and question and always with a smile. The chef was on hand to cater for all tastes and the prices were very reasonable - usually coming out at around £10 per head for a full meal with starters etc!. The villa is amazing with fantastic views and facilities, 4 of the 5 bedrooms have wonderful sea views and all 5 bedrooms are massive!. We were lucky enough to have the master suite which was amazing. There is currently some building going on next door but the villa managers were excellent at dealing with this for us. Obviously this is not cheap accommodation, but if you have several couples to share the cost it is actually great value. My only criticisms were the lack of English tv channels(most didn't work due to poor signal) and the showers, they were amazing to look at but had very low pressure.
10/10I have to say I am a frequent traveler of Thailand. I have traveled to many places and stayed in some of the amazing resorts around the world. By far Baan Hinta Villa has thought of it all, with every amenity you can possibly think of. From the Bose sound system throughout the property to the outdoor movie screen over the pool for evening entertainment. Plasma TV's in every room and bedroom. For us Americans that are not use to the hard beds in hotels throughout asia, these beds where very comfortable . The sheets and down pillows were quality with a high thread count. The rooms were decorated very tastefully along with award winning architecture. If you look at the roof lines of the home and the glass walls piercing down into the massive boulders you will simply be amazed. The large glass pocket doors fully open up giving you the most amazing view throughout which transcend outside and across the infinity edge tiled swimming pool across the ocean. You have a full ocean view from every bedroom. May I mention every room is pretty much a Master bedroom except one room that has two beds. It still is appointed as if it was a master. Let's not forget the staff. From the beginning of the stay you feel so comfortable having them in your private villa. They make you feel so welcome. They do the nice little gesture throughout the day; bringing you fruits and drinks out at the pool when you don't ask. They fix little appetizers when they think you may need a little bite of something. They organize all your car, or scooter rentals or day trips. It was very nice having them around to help. I feel as if by the end of the vacation they will be missed. They truly make the experience. We held a little cocktail party for a few friends. They took control of the details of the party and it turned out wonderful. They have fresh woven banana leafs all over the table and fresh flowers. The fruit was used as cut out decorations. It was very impressive. We could see them working all day setting this up. Of course last but not least, the amazing chef. What can't he do? The food was always cooked with a big happy smile on his face. He definitely came from a 5 star restaurant. He could make anything with his little twist on the dishes. The presentation was very classy. His design on the plates came out very artistic. It makes my mouth water thinking about his cooking. You can't go wrong with this villa. It's a must stay on this island if you're making a choice.
10/10This was the best holiday experience I have had in recent years.There were 6 adults and one toddler in our family group. The eldest traveller was my mother 88yrs and the youngest our grandaughter 18 months. There were five beautiful and extremely private suites although we only needed four. The architectural design is amazing with the villa designed around massive boulders which were a feature in every room. We were welcomed by a team of 5 led by the Manager Jee, and included our own Thai Chef who cooked the most amazing food. Just loved the Tom Yum Soup, Thai Banquet and lovely fresh barbecued fish. The food was so good we only dined out two or three times. We also took advantage of having a cooking lesson with the Chef and I can re-live the night we had his Tom Yum Soup, fresh spring rolls and other yummies at home. There are just too many accolades one can give to this magnificent property and their superior team. Another Villa by the same owner is to come on line next door in 2013, but I think Baan Hinta will always be my favourite.
