Stay House
The right house does half the work.
Villas, beachfront residences and long-stay homes across Koh Samui, found, staffed and quietly run for you.
What the Stay House arranges.
One conversation, from the clifftop villa above Chaweng Noi to a home held for the whole season.
Booked is not the same as arranged.
Anyone can put a villa in front of you. Samui has hundreds, and the listing photographs make them all look like the same infinity pool at the same golden hour. The work is in knowing which house actually suits the way you want to live for a week: clifftop above Chaweng Noi for the view, Choeng Mon for calm water and short drives, the west coast if the sunset matters more than the morning swim. We have stood in these houses. That is the difference.
We hold the booking, the deposit and the paperwork, and we check the house before you land: bedrooms made up the right way round, the kitchen stocked to your list, the pool at the temperature you asked for. Our Koh Samui guide explains how we shape the week around the house, and when to come decides more than most people think.
A house that runs itself.
The villa is the start. What makes the week is the people running it: a private chef cooking to your table's tastes rather than a set menu, a villa manager who has read your preferences before your plane leaves home, housekeeping that works around your day instead of through it. We brief the staff before you arrive, so the first morning already runs like the fifth.
Around the house, the rest of the island stays one message away. A boat for Thursday, a table for Saturday, a therapist at the villa for the morning after. The house is yours; the arranging is ours.
Stay a season, or stop leaving.
Some guests stop booking holidays here and start keeping a house instead. We arrange long-stay residences by the month or the season, fully serviced, so the house is warm when you land and quiet when you are away. The staff stay on, the garden gets kept, and the second visit starts where the first one ended.
And when it is time to own the view rather than rent it, we source property privately: houses that never reach a listing, checked and negotiated on your behalf, with lawyers we trust on the ground. It is quiet work by nature, which suits us. Start the conversation and we will show you what the island does not advertise.
Anantara Lawana, Koh Samui.
When a resort makes sense, usually a first or last night close to the airport, we book the houses we would send our own family to. Anantara Lawana, on the calm northern reach of Chaweng, leads that list.
