Villa Tanamera provides a quiet and peaceful place to unwind and relax, as well as being ideally situated for the many sightseeing opportunities Koh Samui offers. It consists of a handful of simply furnished villas with either a beach or pool view. The villa we stayed in was situated on the quiet, sandy beach, and we spent many pleasant evenings sitting on the decking, watching the sunset whilst listening to the gentle lapping of the waves on the sandy beach a few meters away.
Located less than 10 minutes drive from the airport, Villa Tanamera is very conveniently placed, although it can be noisy overhead during the day - if you are out and about it is unlikely to concern you, and we found that we got used to it after a couple of days anyway.
Continental breakfast is included, and consists of juice, tea/coffee, cereal and toast/croissants, although if you would like something heartier (sausage, eggs, bacon) this can be accommodated for a small supplement.
The villa manager was accommodating and willing to share information about the local area, ideas for day trips, restaurant recommendations and can arrange transport for you if you require it (although you can flag down taxis or the local tuk-tuk’s very easily from directly outside the villa).
When you step outside the villa, you will find a number of minimarts, pharmacies, restaurants and bars all close by - there are a couple of international grocery stores situated a short taxi ride away, for any items you are unable to find in the immediate vicinity.
