A tour around the island of Koh Samui by car takes just over an hour, so nothing is very far away. The main ferry port of Nathon, which connects to the Thai mainland, is a 30-minute drive from the villa, while the key departure point for boat trips is at the pier near the Big Buddha, which is a mere 10-minute drive away.
