Overview
Sunset Cove is a boutique, 10-unit sea-view pool-villa community on the quiet Plai Laem headland in Koh Samui's north-east, completed in January 2019 (unit count and completion date confirmed on Hipflat's own structured project page), near the Plai Laem temple and lagoon and a short drive from the airport, Choeng Mon and Bophut. Its private pools and terraces pair with calm, low-density surroundings, suiting buyers and long-stay residents who want privacy and views away from the busier east-coast beaches. As with all Samui villa land, ownership cannot be foreign-freehold — the home is held on a registered long lease or through a Thai company, so confirm the tenure structure before committing. Note: Hipflat's own project description calls this a 3-story semi-detached house design rather than the standalone 2–4 bedroom villas framing used above — flagged for a follow-up pass to reconcile against source photos before treating the building-type description as fully resolved.
