Overview
Sunset Cove is a boutique sea-view pool-villa community on the quiet Plai Laem headland in Koh Samui's north-east, near the Plai Laem temple and lagoon and a short drive from the airport, Choeng Mon and Bophut. Its two- to four-bedroom villas pair private pools and terraces 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.
BAANLYY is a data-and-tools platform, not the development's broker or manager — listings are not guaranteed unless from a verified partner. Always confirm tenure, foreign-ownership quota and current pricing on the specific unit before committing.
