Brief Overview
The Residence Bang Por is a premier residential development offering a collection of luxury sea-view apartments and penthouses in the tranquil Bang Por area of Koh Samui. Completed in late 2018, this hillside project combines contemporary Western design standards with the breathtaking natural beauty of the Gulf of Thailand, providing a high-end lifestyle for permanent residents and investors alike.
Project Details
The development is designed with a "modern-chic" architectural philosophy, featuring sleek white facades and expansive glass frontage to maximize the stunning 180-degree ocean vistas toward Koh Phangan. Each unit is oriented to capture the cooling sea breezes, significantly reducing the need for constant air conditioning and fostering an airy, tropical atmosphere. The use of high-grade materials and neutral tones creates a sophisticated interior environment that complements the vibrant blue of the surrounding sea.
The project caters to a high-net-worth demographic that seeks the perfect balance between communal luxury and private sanctuary. The low-density layout ensures that the building never feels crowded, offering residents a peaceful retreat. With meticulously planned communal spaces and high-quality construction, the building has established itself as one of the most reliable and aesthetically pleasing residential developments on the northern coast of Samui.
Location Information
The Residence Bang Por is strategically perched on a gently sloping hillside in the Bang Por district, on the northwestern tip of Koh Samui. This location is highly coveted for its elevation, which provides clear views of the "Big Blue" while being only a 5-minute walk (approximately 400 meters) to the soft white sands of Bang Por Beach. The area is geographically protected from strong winds, making it one of the calmest and most swimmable coastlines on the island year-round.
Room Types and Facilities Breakdown
The project offers a range of high-specification unit types designed for spacious living:
- 2-Bedroom Apartments: Spanning approximately 117 to 134 sq.m. with open-plan living and dining areas.
- Luxury Penthouses: Featuring expansive private terraces and premium finishes, ideal for panoramic sunset viewing.
- Infinity Swimming Pool: A large communal pool that appears to merge with the ocean horizon.
- Fitness Center: A fully equipped gym available exclusively for residents.
- On-site Management: Professional management office providing maintenance and rental services.
- Security & Parking: 24-hour security personnel, CCTV surveillance, and dedicated on-site parking for all residents.
Developer History
The project was developed by The Residence (Samui) Co., Ltd., a developer known for its commitment to delivering Western-standard quality in Thailand's luxury real estate market. The team behind the development has a reputation for choosing prime hillside locations that offer both capital appreciation and unparalleled lifestyle value.
By focusing on high-end boutique projects, the developer has consistently delivered properties that stand the test of time in the tropical environment. Their past success in Samui’s northern corridor has made them a trusted name for international buyers who require transparency and professional structural integrity in their property investments.
Directions
To reach The Residence Bang Por from Samui International Airport, travel west along the main ring road (Route 4169) toward Maenam and Bang Por for approximately 25-30 minutes. Upon reaching the Bang Por beach area, turn inland (toward the hills) at the designated access road near the local 7-Eleven. Follow the paved road up the hill for roughly 400 meters; the project is clearly visible on the hillside with a prominent entrance.
Neighborhood/Area Summary
Bang Por is widely regarded as Koh Samui’s last "peaceful frontier," offering a relaxed and authentic vibe far from the noise of Chaweng. The neighborhood is famous for its long stretch of quiet beach and some of the island's best-rated local seafood restaurants that sit directly on the sand. While secluded, the area is highly convenient, located just 10 minutes from the ferry piers in Nathon and 15 minutes from the upscale dining and shopping in Maenam and Bophut.
