“The chef's food was delicious, honestly some of the best Thai food we had during our entire trip! Having delicious meals prepared at the villa and only paying for the ingredients was also incredibly cost-effective.”

Food and drink costs at a private Koh Samui villa
Mandarin Beach Villa is a private beachfront estate in Koh Samui with a full-time private chef and two clearly defined dining arrangements. The Residence includes chef service and continental breakfast, with other groceries and drinks at actual receipted cost without villa markup. All-Inclusive includes meals and the specified non-alcoholic drinks; alcohol is charged at cost on both packages.

What do we pay on the Residence arrangement?
The chef’s service and continental breakfast are included. Additional food, groceries and beverages are purchased at actual receipted cost under the published terms, without villa markup or grocery handling fees. What the group spends depends on its choices and consumption. There is no honest universal daily grocery figure for a family with unknown menus, drinks and dietary needs.
When should we compare All-Inclusive?
Compare the actual package difference for your stay with the items it includes, rather than comparing it with groceries alone. The published All-Inclusive arrangement includes meals and selected drinks, with further benefits described on the inclusions page. Alcohol remains charged at cost. Use a current quote and the current package comparison; do not assume a promotional example is your booked price.
How can we build a useful budget?
List the number of adults and children, meals likely to be eaten at the villa, preferred drinks and planned outside dining. Ask the team for current ingredient examples if useful, making clear whether they are estimates or actual receipts. Keep optional excursions, special event services and other extras separate. That produces a more useful total than a cheap headline rate with the important costs omitted.
