YL Residence provide an in house all day menu of both Thai and International cuisine prepared by our European and Thai chefs.
Our Executive Chef Reuben Kimber is from England (Babington House, Gidleigh Park Hotel) and has constructed an all-day dining menu to suit all tastes and is always on hand to suggest what is fresh in the market and to take requests. Our resident Thai Chefs specialise in different regions of Thai cuisine with one coming from the Central region and the other from Southern Thailand.
We go out of our way to make sure that the food we create is authentic and not diluted to suit Western palates. We use seasonal locally sourced produce wherever possible with some produce grown on site under organic guidelines.
An extensive list of wines and Champagnes are available and our resident bartender mixes classic cocktails as well as his own specialties such as his signature Mango Mojito using freshly picked organic mint and mangos from the gardens of YL.
Dine under the sun or stars on the teak beachfront terrace that has a purpose built barbecue. The YL terrace can accommodate an intimate gathering with a few friends or a large party depending on your needs be it a wedding, a private dining event or a celebration.
The Beachside Clubhouse opens at 7am until 11pm for food and the bar closes when you want to retire with late night bites always available. Our menus act more as a guide and we encourage you to discuss with our Chefs to create your own YL culinary adventure!
Koh Samui is blessed with one of the finest golf courses in Thailand.
Santi Buri Samui Country Club, designed by Pirapon Namatra and Edward Thiele, is a championship world class golf course landscaped on the mountain side of Mae Nam in the north of the island.
Each of the 18 holes on this 6,930 yards, par-72 course, has its own unique character, challenges and the sea is visible from each hole.
From steep uphill and downhill slopes to winding fairways that cut into the coconut forest to cliffs and mountain creeks. Santi Buri Samui Country Club is simply one of the most unique golf courses and is built in perfect harmony with its natural surroundings and a must if you are a fan of golf.

YL SAMUI. The largest and most distinguished beachside villa in Thailand is now available for exclusive hire.
Set on 12.5 acres of frangipani landscaped gardens with a 450-meter beachfront and situated at Natien beach on the Southern coast of Koh Samui with a virtually private beach. This extraordinary property is able to accommodate parties of up to 20 guests.
Designed by esteemed architect Martin Palleros and described by Elle Décor magazine as ”A place to truly experience a piece of heaven”.
The aesthetic is clean, minimalist with a nod to Southern Thai design. The furnishings have all been specially created by Antonio “Budji” Layug, which emphasise the use of sustainable, renewable resources that has made “Budji” a pioneer in eco furniture and design. The result is a harmonious balance between ethnic grace, cosmopolitan elegance and simplicity.
Spacious elegant communal areas compliment the ten individual dwellings with a 22 meter inky black pool on the beachfront. The pool house, club house, games room, main house, restaurant and cocktail bar all provide the perfect environment in which to relax or indeed party.
With a full time staff of 25, YL SAMUI’s team include villa hosts, European chef, two Thai chefs, bartender, concierge service, butlers, masseuses, housekeepers, chauffeurs and 24 hour security.
As only one group can stay at YL SAMUI at any time, all attention is focused on that group with everything tailor made around their desires and requests.
It is in effect a private hotel, but a hotel where the guests are not restricted by normal hotel regulations. The advantages of staying at YL over even the most opulent hotel are quite simple and afford guests the freedom to do what they want, when they want. This philosophy covers every aspect of their stay.
