One of the best views you can get on the island. I booked a villa that had a pool, was very private, very quiet, and had a direct, unobstructed view on the sea. The owner (George) and the staff are very friendly and go the extra mile to make your stay enjoyable. The restaurant’s food was very good too - I tried it once as I wanted to eat out. I’ll definitely be back!

Although it took 10 minutes driving from Chaweng beach. We all enjoyed the accommodation and the wonderful views.
The bedrooms and bathrooms were so spacious! The villa was clean and neat! The staff were all super kind and helpful! We were all so thankful!

Sleeping in such paradise and in a such gorgeous room, I couldn’t sleep better! We stayed in the Plumeria room. The room was spacious and luxurious. As we were on honeymoon, they decorated the room so nicely! It was beautiful! We could not believe how big it is and how many amenities it had! The icing on the cake, we had a small private infinity pool in our villa with a stunning view.
impeccable and very accommodating staff. They were superb! They did everything they could to make us feel comfortable. The staff were attentive and welcoming. They go above and beyond to help all the guests.
When you check in they offer you a welcome drink, make you feel comfortable and then explain everything you need to know regarding your stay.
The food was delightful. At Sandalwood Luxury Villas we had the best breakfast in Thailand! There were so many delicious options that I can’t explain! Simply fabulous with different things on the buffet each day, and you can also order from the a la carte which is included!
Having our own jacuzzi and swimming pool in a very spacious and comfortable room were details that made completely difference. The convenience of counting on free shuttles to the closest beaches and convenience stores is fantastic!

The wife and I spent a week of our honeymoon with Sandalwood and absolutely loved it! The entire staff were so accommodating. The drivers, the front desk staff, the massage therapists—everyone was polite and eager to make our stay a pleasurable one. Very impressed as well with the added convenience of the driver services. We did drop off and pickups all across the island, some were free and others were at a reasonable added cost depending on time/location. This we supplemented with a one day motorbike rental from a shop near Vikasa to tour the island which was very enjoyable—NOTE we highly recommend prior experience on a motor bike before going into urban areas or off the main circular road, and the driveway up the mountain is seriously steep so be warned before attempting to drive there or when arranging 3rd party pickups. Classic Thai massage at the hotel was more expensive than other options around the island but probably one of the best massages we’ve ever had. Quality of the food was good, vegan options were OK—sometimes we felt the need to make veggie friendly variations of dishes, which worked out sometimes, also led us to venture out during the week to get some more variety and creative vegan choices. We enjoyed meeting the owner Robert, and overall the experience with Sandalwood was an intimate and private one, perfect for our honeymoon, and highly recommended for anyone looking for a special escape with beautiful views, suitable for both hunkering down in a beautiful villa or exploring the island with a lovely home base. Thanks to everyone at Sandalwood for making our honeymoon a special one!

We purposely left our visit to Samui last as I'd heard so many great things about the Island, I'm so glad we did. It really was our favorite destination of the whole holiday.
When we arrived at the villas, the first thing we noticed was how steep the hill was!! Don't let this put you off, myself, wife and 10 year old daughter managed it both ways! Going up was an achievement though!!
George and his amazing team provide a free shuttle vehicle, should you not have the courage to tackle the hill! There is a small fee for after hours use.
The whole check in process was very smooth, we were given a mobile phone to use to contact the staff at anytime of the day. Whom were very accommodating and nice.
The view from the villas are spectacular, and the rooms are maintained to a very high standard.
We used the restaurant regularly and were always impressed with our food, the staff were very helpful and would always make things on request from our fussy 10 year old daughter!
When Etihad cancelled our flights at less than 36 hours notice, we were understandably stressed! We were unsure of what we needed to do, and who to contact during the Covid19 mayhem, After a conversation with George (Owner), he got his staff to contact the Embassy in Bangkok, Etihad, and our insurance/travel agent. We were left to enjoy ourselves while the team helped us work through our problems.
We decided to stay in Samui until we could get another flight home.
The team upgraded us to a grande pool villa at no extra cost, and honestly made us feel part of the Sandalwood Family. It turned a stressful situation into the highlight of the holiday!!
We were gutted to leave in the end, having spent an extra week at the villas.
It really was one of the best places I've ever stayed, made even more special during a stressful time.
I personally wish all the Sandalwood team luck, and hopefully they get through this testing time. We will 100% be visiting this wonderful place again!
