Overview
Ocean 180 is a 10-villa boutique pool-villa resort in Bophut, developed by Palm Villas Samui and completed in August 2018 (unit count, developer and completion date per FazWaz's own structured project page). The project mixes 2-bedroom garden villas (from 160 sqm) and 3-bedroom sea-view villas (335 sqm), with facilities including 24-hour security/CCTV, a fitness centre and concierge/reception (per the same FazWaz page); it sits about 4 minutes' drive from Fisherman's Village, The Wharf and the International School of Samui. Also operated as a boutique hotel under the "180 Samui" brand (180samui.com) — independently confirmed via a Google Maps search for "Ocean 180 Bophut Koh Samui," which resolved to a single 5-star-hotel pin ("180 Samui") at 108, 80, Bo Put, Ko Samui District, matching the Tambon Bophut address on FazWaz's project page, at 9.4905882, 100.0577062. As with all Koh Samui villa projects, the underlying land is not foreign-freehold: ownership is held on a registered long lease or through a Thai company, so confirm the tenure structure for any specific villa before committing. No live long-term rental listing was found on the primary sources checked; the rent range shown here is a directional estimate benchmarked against a comparably-scaled Koh Samui pool-villa collection already in this registry (Horizon Villas), not a confirmed lease schedule — confirm current asking rents directly with on-site/hotel management before committing.

Indicative pricing
Long-term rents at Ocean 180 depend on the specific unit, size, view, furnishing and season. As an indicative benchmark, monthly long-term rents run roughly ฿60,000 – ฿150,000. Koh Samui also has a strong short-term holiday-let market, so nightly rates and peak-season pricing can sit well above these figures — request live Ocean 180 availability for exact numbers.

Land is not foreign-freehold on Koh Samui; confirm whether this project offers registered leasehold or company-structure ownership per unit before committing. In Thailand foreigners may own condominium units within a building's 49% foreign-freehold quota but cannot own land directly, so villas are held on a registered long lease or through a Thai company — confirm the tenure and title per unit.
