Brief Overview
The Olive Village is an exclusive residential pool villa development located in the peaceful Lamai area of Maret, Koh Samui, Surat Thani. Celebrated as the island's first Tuscan-inspired housing development, this highly distinct boutique community comprises just 9 unique freestanding properties spread across over 3 Rai of private land. Completed in November 2023, the project blends European rustic charm with tropical convenience, making it a highly desirable option for families, international school expatriates, and investors seeking premium real estate in southeast Samui.
Project Details
The architectural philosophy of this development is deeply rooted in classic Tuscan and Mediterranean design, showcasing a dramatic contrast against traditional tropical properties. The exteriors are elegantly decorated with authentic natural stone cladding to create texture and a timeless, organic look. Inside, the homes are engineered with high-pitched open ceilings that follow the slope of the timber-clad roofline. This clever architectural feature enhances natural air circulation, drawing warm air upward and keeping the living spaces remarkably cool throughout the day.
Each residence is intentionally customized to match the natural contours of its individual land plot, ensuring that no two layouts are exactly alike. The interiors combine rustic charm with premium modern refinements, featuring high-specification lighting, imported sanitary ware, and natural stone tiling inside the private swimming pools. For a truly unique finishing touch, every private garden plot is landscaped around a mature olive tree imported directly from Europe, perfectly reinforcing the village’s Mediterranean identity.
Location Information
The project is situated in a highly accessible interior enclave of the Lamai community, within the Maret sub-district. Positioned just 800 meters away from the main island ring road, the estate provides a remarkably quiet residential setting that completely avoids steep hillside driving.

Developer History
The Olive Village was successfully built and delivered by a dedicated local property developer trading under the name The Olive Village. The development firm gained immediate recognition across Koh Samui for introducing innovative architectural themes that move away from conventional boxy concrete structures. By focusing on a highly limited, low-density phase, the builder successfully guaranteed strict quality control, rigorous material procurement, and a swift project delivery.
The developer remains actively involved in the estate's ongoing maintenance, establishing reliable property management services to handle pool cleaning, landscaping, and community security. This reliable long-term operational framework ensures that the unique Tuscan properties retain their physical appeal and financial asset value for both local and international property buyers.
