Overview
KW Villas is a small, private pool-villa collection off Santi Thani road in Maenam on Koh Samui's north coast, completed in December 2018 and developed by SunWaySamui -- the same developer behind the nearby Avanta Condominium, Bayview Estate and Sunway Villas. FazWaz's own structured project page lists just 3 villas total; no source checked discloses a per-villa floor count, though a five-star Google review describes one unit as a fully-furnished four-bedroom villa with a private saltwater pool and floor-to-ceiling windows. As a house/villa project rather than a registered condominium, the villa structure can be owned outright by a foreign buyer via the house registry, but the underlying land cannot be held foreign-freehold -- ownership is structured through a registered long lease or Thai company, so take legal advice on the specific structure before committing. Coordinates were independently pinned in Google Maps against the development's own "KW VILLA" Business Profile (5.0 stars, 7 reviews, address Santi Thani 76, Tambon Mae Nam) rather than taken from FazWaz's street-view link, which sits roughly 350m away and was not treated as project-specific. No rental listing was found for this small project; the rent range shown is a directional estimate based on comparable private pool-villa collections of similar scale in Maenam, not a confirmed lease figure.
