At Sandalwood Luxury Villa Resort, travellers praise sweeping hilltop sea views, spacious villas (many with private pools), and warm, attentive staff, while noting the steep, secluded location that often requires the hotel shuttle or planning for transport.
Rooms are generally large, many with private pools or soaking tubs, though some units feel dated or show maintenance wear. The on-site restaurant and room service receive frequent compliments for quality and variety, with a few mentions of higher prices or service charges. Rooms are reported very clean, and daily housekeeping is noted. Expect a serene, view-forward stay best suited to guests comfortable with hills and using hotel transport.

Facilities
Many villas include private or infinity pools, and there is an on-site restaurant with room service. A hotel shuttle/driver helps with the steep hill and local transfers.

This property is beautiful and serene. This is a luxurious stay with an attentive staff on all aspects. The only downside is the villas are located on a steep cliff which will require a shuttle from the hotel to your desired location which means some preplanning and flexibility on your part whcih was the only downside for us. It limited our dining options. We would stay again with this in mind. The views and the pool were worth it!

Beautiful property and very friendly staff! We stayed in the 1 bedroom pool villa - the view was amazing, the room and pool were gorgeous and the staff were so friendly. The hotel provides room service for every meal (very tasty food), daily cleaning and have a personal driver to take guests to and from the hotel. They also helped us book activities and went above and beyond to make our stay relaxing. Definitely worth the money, my husband and I will definitely go back one day :)

My wife and I stayed here for one night and the place was amazing! It isn’t too far from the airport and we were able to get there with no problem by getting a taxi once we landed. It is a little bit of a drive up the mountain (but not much) to get there and the climb is worth it! When we got there, the staff was very friendly and helpful. They got us checked in quickly and we walked up to our room. The layout is essentially a bunch of individual villas along a winding path. When we got to our villa, we were welcomed with a stunning view overlooking the ocean that was visible from pretty much every room! We had a private pool just outside the villa and a bottle of wine we could purchase so we headed out back to drink some wine in the pool while watching an amazing sunset! The villa had a couple of TVs and had good air conditioning, so we were comfortable the entire night and absolutely loved the place. It left us wishing we could have stayed a few more nights. The rooms do require a little walking but nothing strenuous. There aren’t any restaurants nearby but there was a nice hotel restaurant that was quick and easy with lots of good options including breakfast. There was a bit of construction going on in the morning nearby and it sounds like that has been happening for a while. It isn’t being done by the hotel. That was about the only disruption and it wasn’t anything severe enough to keep us from booking here again. Overall it was an amazing stay!

Ok this is an excellent place to stay with differing size villas, most of which have their own pool. We had a one bed grand villa with pool it was brillient. Very private quiet and spacious. Good storage, plenty of hot water excellent views. Highly recommended. Restaurant was great good selection of Thai and Western food. Staff were excellent, from reception, housekeepong, tour desk, restaurant, gardeners and pool cleaners, not forgetting the taxi drivers. They would pick you up from the airport or anywhere you wanted. However the venue is not suited to people with mobility issues. There are many steps and slopes around, it is fine if you are active. At 70 I found it ok but not if your balance is poor. The whole venue gives you fabulous vistas as it is up the side of a very steep hill, and I mean steep. Probably a gradient of 1 in 4. Only the resident taxis would get you up and down the hill. Ask an ordinary taxi to take you and they would refuse. But as I said earlier not a problem. If you booked a tour the taxis would run you down the jill to a layby to meet the tour van or bus and come and come and pick you up. We were well pleased with are villa and choice of location, we would happily have stayed longer than our 2 weeks. Thank you to all the staff for such a fabulous stay. Hope to see you again.

I loved everything about this property. We didn’t have a pool villa, but it was so big and beautiful. The bathtub especially was nice and large. Very reasonably priced and I loved the views from our villa and the pool. Walking down to coral cove is doable but steep but they can take you down there as well!

We stayed in the Bougainvilla and would highly recommend anyone to go check it out. Also make sure to visit the on site restaurant Blue Ginger, quite possibly one of the best places to eat in the island. 10/10 unreal holiday destination

Such a magical place, we stayed in the suite called Jumpee, it has a private infinity pool, outdoor jacuzzi tub and a spacious interior. The staff is super friendly and so helpful. The on site restaurant has a great selection and the food is great. The resort is isolated but they have a shuttle service that will take you anywhere and it is priced very reasonably. I would definitely recommend this resort for a quiet and memorable stay.

Absolutely the nicest hotel I've ever stayed in! They treated us like royalty. Picked us up from the ferry terminal in a private car. The sea view was amazing! The room was HUGE (2000 sq ft??) with a kitchen, second bedroom, giant balcony, jacuzzi tub. Free shuttle service to and from town. The owner even drove us in his own vehicle to a nearby town b/c it was after the shuttle's hours. Wanted to stay here forever!! Top notch!

We had a wonderful stay at Sandalwood. The rooms were impeccably decorated with a great focus on detail. The front desk staff were super attentive and proved to us that customer service is not a forgotten art. The restaurant food and service was top notch. It rained the whole time we were in Koh Samui, but we didn’t care, as we were in Sandalwood..

Sandalwood is an amazing place to stay! It is a bit inconvenient due to the location being on top of a very steep hill but the views are worth it. Staff was incredible and made it very easy to book taxis down and back to the rest of the island. Everything is managed over WhatsApp. The private pool we had was very nice. The room is a bit outdated and we had a bit of a bug issue but nothing we couldn’t manage. Restaurant is just okay. Would definitely stay here again for the views alone!

Upgraded our room because the other one was under repair. Managed to crash a motor bike and break my arm - the staff and owner couldn’t have been nicer or more accommodating. Wonderful views as well as caring staff. Would highly recommend.

Beautiful property and very friendly staff! We stayed in the 1 bedroom pool villa - the view was amazing, the room and pool were gorgeous and the staff were so friendly. The hotel provides room service for every meal (very tasty food), daily cleaning and have a personal driver to take guests to and from the hotel. They also helped us book activities and went above and beyond to make our stay relaxing. Definitely worth the money, my husband and I will definitely go back one day :)

Sandalwood goes above and beyond with their guests. They add that personal touch that big chain hotels have lost. We felt at home and like we were treating by family. The last day we had to to the airport and got delayed having a massage so they were worried about us missing our flight and weee calling us! Amazing staff and if I were to go back to Samui I’ll definitely stay here again

My wife and I had the most amazing honeymoon in koh samui, we stayed at sandalwood and it was unbelievable, the views are stunning the staff are soo friendly and helpful. We stayed in the Bougainvilla and would highly recommend anyone to go check it out. Also make sure to visit the on site restaurant Blue Ginger, quite possibly one of the best places to eat in the island. 10/10 unreal holiday destination

Absolutely the nicest hotel I've ever stayed in! They treated us like royalty. Picked us up from the ferry terminal in a private car. The sea view was amazing! The room was HUGE (2000 sq ft??) with a kitchen, second bedroom, giant balcony, jacuzzi tub. Free shuttle service to and from town. The owner even drove us in his own vehicle to a nearby town b/c it was after the shuttle's hours. Wanted to stay here forever!! Top notch!

This property is beautiful and serene. This is a luxurious stay with an attentive staff on all aspects. The only downside is the villas are located on a steep cliff which will require a shuttle from the hotel to your desired location which means some preplanning and flexibility on your part whcih was the only downside for us. It limited our dining options. We would stay again with this in mind. The views and the pool were worth it!

Sandalwood is an amazing place to stay! It is a bit inconvenient due to the location being on top of a very steep hill but the views are worth it. Staff was incredible and made it very easy to book taxis down and back to the rest of the island. Everything is managed over WhatsApp. The private pool we had was very nice. The room is a bit outdated and we had a bit of a bug issue but nothing we couldn’t manage. Restaurant is just okay. Would definitely stay here again for the views alone!

My wife and I stayed here for one night and the place was amazing! It isn’t too far from the airport and we were able to get there with no problem by getting a taxi once we landed. It is a little bit of a drive up the mountain (but not much) to get there and the climb is worth it! When we got there, the staff was very friendly and helpful. They got us checked in quickly and we walked up to our room. The layout is essentially a bunch of individual villas along a winding path. When we got to our villa, we were welcomed with a stunning view overlooking the ocean that was visible from pretty much every room! We had a private pool just outside the villa and a bottle of wine we could purchase so we headed out back to drink some wine in the pool while watching an amazing sunset! The villa had a couple of TVs and had good air conditioning, so we were comfortable the entire night and absolutely loved the place. It left us wishing we could have stayed a few more nights. The rooms do require a little walking but nothing strenuous. There aren’t any restaurants nearby but there was a nice hotel restaurant that was quick and easy with lots of good options including breakfast. There was a bit of construction going on in the morning nearby and it sounds like that has been happening for a while. It isn’t being done by the hotel. That was about the only disruption and it wasn’t anything severe enough to keep us from booking here again. Overall it was an amazing stay!

Ok this is an excellent place to stay with differing size villas, most of which have their own pool. We had a one bed grand villa with pool it was brillient. Very private quiet and spacious. Good storage, plenty of hot water excellent views. Highly recommended. Restaurant was great good selection of Thai and Western food. Staff were excellent, from reception, housekeepong, tour desk, restaurant, gardeners and pool cleaners, not forgetting the taxi drivers. They would pick you up from the airport or anywhere you wanted. However the venue is not suited to people with mobility issues. There are many steps and slopes around, it is fine if you are active. At 70 I found it ok but not if your balance is poor. The whole venue gives you fabulous vistas as it is up the side of a very steep hill, and I mean steep. Probably a gradient of 1 in 4. Only the resident taxis would get you up and down the hill. Ask an ordinary taxi to take you and they would refuse. But as I said earlier not a problem. If you booked a tour the taxis would run you down the jill to a layby to meet the tour van or bus and come and come and pick you up. We were well pleased with are villa and choice of location, we would happily have stayed longer than our 2 weeks. Thank you to all the staff for such a fabulous stay. Hope to see you again.

Only bad part is it is tough to get up the hill… most taxis won’t make the drive and if you rent a car i recommend a bigger car or you won’t make it up. Hotel does offer shuttle if needed.

I loved everything about this property. We didn’t have a pool villa, but it was so big and beautiful. The bathtub especially was nice and large. Very reasonably priced and I loved the views from our villa and the pool. Walking down to coral cove is doable but steep but they can take you down there as well!

We had an amazing stay at Sandalwood resort. The property was sunny with gorgeous views and our room was spectacular. We had our own private pool too! Our favourite spot on our whole trip through Thailand. The only issue was had was that the hotel was right up a difficult hill to drive/walk so many taxis wouldn’t come up the steep hill to get us or stop us off and we had to hike it… it was a tough walk up. The hotel sometimes offered us their taxi/truck but there were extra costs. Overall an amazing place though.

Beautiful property, it is beginning to show it's age. High up in the mountains, you get amazing views, great photos. But far away from store resturant and just off the local highways. Taxis and bus are not easy to get to go that direction. And it's. Much more expensive then other areas for transportation. Fortunately, the hotel does a little shuttle up and down the steep hill and to the 2 local beaches.

We had a wonderful stay at Sandalwood. The rooms were impeccably decorated with a great focus on detail. The front desk staff were super attentive and proved to us that customer service is not a forgotten art. The restaurant food and service was top notch. It rained the whole time we were in Koh Samui, but we didn’t care, as we were in Sandalwood..

We stayed in the Malee room (1 Bed Grand Pool Villa) and it was exceptional. It is exactly like how the pictures show. The staff are very accommodating and always looking to help. The property is located up a hill which makes the views exceptional. This also makes it a bit harder to move around as you can't walk to places but there is a free shuttle service to two beaches which mitigates most of that inconvenience. Overall a great luxury property.

Spent four days at Sandalwood and it was a perfect escape. The Jumpee villa had a plunge infinity pool with an incredible view of the island and ocean. Outdoor shower and tub were great touches, and the king bed was comfortable. The property feels tropical and private. Breakfast was tasty and in-room delivery was used. Staff were great about lining up transportation around the island, so the steep hill was never an issue. It was very nice to be able to contact reception with practically any need through whatsApp. Would come back 1000 times.

Stayed at a beautiful villa in Koh Samui and had an amazing experience. The view was absolutely stunning and one of the highlights of the stay. The room was clean, comfortable, and well presented. Staff were very friendly and accommodating throughout. Would definitely recommend hiring a car to get around the island more easily. Overall, a fantastic stay and would happily return!

Stayed 2 nights
I only stayed for two nights, but the receptionist was very welcoming. As I was arriving just after the restaurant closed, they arranged for a meal to be brought to my room so I had that when I arrived. They also arranged my transport from the airport and back. The room was spotless and spacious, the bed was comfortable. Beautiful sea view from the terrace. Breakfast was lovely. I couldn't fault it. Would definitely recommend.
