Like your own private hotel, Praana Residence is one of Koh Samui’s finest private luxury retreats – an extravagant 6-bedroom villa with 360-degree panoramic sea views from the verdant Bophut Hills.
Like your own private hotel, Praana Residence is one of Koh Samui’s finest private luxury retreats – an extravagant 6-bedroom villa with 360-degree panoramic sea views from the verdant Bophut Hills.
Praana, which means ‘vital force’, is the jewel in the crown of Panacea Retreat, an exclusive gated community of five contemporary Thai-style private villas on the island’s popular north-east coast.
Through the grand entrance, you’re greeted by Buddhist statues and water features lining a stone walkway to embark on your discovery of this extraordinary place. From the villa apex, the spectacular view over infinity pools to the Gulf of Thailand and offshore islands is simply mesmerising.
Your main living and dining pavilion is vast yet inviting – with a soaring cathedral ceiling hung with crystal chandeliers, sumptuous lounge, elegant dining table and show kitchen. Wrap-around glass doors open onto a terrace and garden for socialising and special events, such as weddings.
Six outstanding double bedrooms overlook the spectacular location from every aspect. Three master suites have their own private pavilions; and in some cases, their own private garden with a pool and outdoor bathtub.
This remarkable villa is all about luxury and design, with the ambience of extreme comfort from warm woods and natural fibres, tasteful wooden and rattan furniture, richly colourful fabrics and Thai artworks.
Praana Residence is also a unique pleasure palace without parallel in Samui – with one entire floor dedicated to your pleasures, health and fitness. Your own private nightclub with karaoke, wine cellar, 10-seater private cinema with Apple TV and over 1,000 movies, and billiards and gaming room share this hedonistic space with a massage and sauna room, fully-equipped gym and nursery wonderland for the youngsters.
You also have your own floodlit tennis court and two infinity pools – and if you’re feeling extremely energetic, you can even try your hand at Muay Thai boxing in an open-air ring!
In this exclusive party paradise within 15 minutes of the island’s delightful airport, a dedicated staff of seven looks after all your wishes and whims, organising everything and anything to make your stay relaxed and enjoyable – from delicious cuisine served anywhere you like around the villa, including catering for special dietary requests and children’s meals, to personal health and fitness training, excursions and all that beautiful Samui has to offer.
Quite simply, Praana Residence is the ultimate villa for large family gatherings, groups of friends and special occasions or events. The sheer size and space make it perfect for great occasions – and impressive amenities and services add up to the finest luxury experience in Samui.

Approximate geographic location for display purposes only.
Located up in the lush green hills above Samui’s popular resort of Bophut and Fisherman’s Village, Praana Residence is just a 15 minute drive from Samui’s international airport and 10-15 minutes’ to gorgeous sandy beaches in Bophut, Big Buddha and the island’s main tourist centre, Chaweng.
Thanks to its elevation, the villa overlooks spectacular views of the north-east coastline and the Gulf of Siam, to offshore islands such as Koh Phangan, popularly known as ‘Full Moon Island’, as well as of the island’s striking mountainous interior with its coconut palm clad slopes and dramatic waterfalls.
Circumnavigating Koh Samui by car takes just over an hour, so nothing is very far away. The main ferry port of Nathon which connects to Thai mainland is around 30 minutes’ drive and the key jumping off point for boat trips and excursions to discover offshore islands is a mere 10 minutes away at Big Buddha.
Highly accessible and convenient, Praana Residence is always a peaceful sanctuary away from all the noise and activity, waiting to welcome you back.
