Villa Riva is located on the north western coast of Koh Samui, facing Koh Phangan island and with a sunset view from the master suite.

Isolated on a small headland, its semi private cove is not easily accessible which allows a high level of privacy for the host and his guests.

Only another, though rarely occupied as not available for letting, private house shares the beach and is without any vis a vis withe the Villa Riva.

An access was specially made through the reef and rocks in order to provide a dedicated and safe salt water pool for children under the shade of the impressive and preciously maintained Tamarind tree; as well as a safe entrance to the sea for small boats and sea kayaks.

Distances from main landmarks are:
- airport: 30-35 min
- Chaweng Beach: 35-40 min
- Bophut's Fisherman Village: 20-25 min
