Overview
The Ridge Samui is a well-regarded hillside pool-villa community in the hills above Bophut and Fisherman's Village, prized for its panoramic views across Big Buddha bay and the north coast. The villas are contemporary two- to four-bedroom homes with private pools, large terraces and tropical landscaping, a short drive from Fisherman's Village dining, the airport and the island's international hospitals. It suits buyers and long-stay residents who want privacy, a view and a managed community without being far from amenities. As with all Samui villas, land cannot be foreign-freehold — ownership is held on a registered long lease or through a Thai company, so confirm the tenure structure per villa.
