Welcome to
Element of 8

Overlooking the spectacular Gulf of Siam on the unspoiled south-west coast of Koh Samui, discover this sublime hillside sanctuary nestled in a secure estate. The estate has been designed by one of the island’s most celebrated architects, Gary Elton and is arguably one of the most exclusive residences in Koh Samui.

A cliffside lap pool adjoins spacious and seductive living and dining pavilions. Wide, shaded terraces catch the sea breeze and boast breathtaking sights and sounds of the surf breaking onto the reef below. To complete the experience in this James Bond-style tropical paradise, look forward to being pampered by professional and attentive staff, catering to your every need.

We have implemented strict hygiene controls and cleaning procedures to adapt to the new normal in the current COVID-19 situation. Our staff members have undergone extensive training and safety management measures have been executed across our portfolio. Rest assured that the health and wellbeing of our guests and our employees remain our top priority.

Guest Reviews

  • Dear Khun Lah , Sai , Goong and Mon, Thank you very much for having us and caring us for during our our escape from Australia since we were in downtown. Element of 8 is twilight a paradise. The best and stunning villa we have stayed at in our life - this perfection. The view, the interior design, the size of the room, the pool, the staff, the food, the peace and quiet, the gym, the gardens... We love our stay and love to be back.

  • It is our first time here, and it is impressive! Service is very satisfactory in all aspects. The place is tastefully done - interior design, landscape, even lighting. Each item is well chosen. Staff is very attentive, friendly and hospitable. Dining here is perfect. Not only the panoramic view of the sea but also the dishes by the chef here are superb. We can see the ocean from very bedroom. What a clever architect! The villa is spacious with attention to every detail and sweeping view of the sea. Magnificent! To me, it is the best villa by the sea (overlooking the sea). We definitely will come back again!
