Holiday Rental Property

This villa sits majestically at the top of a gentle mountainside, just a few minutes away from the beach and the airport, and has magnificent views over the floating temples of Wat Plai Laem and out across the ocean.

The first impression you get when approaching this villa is one of style, class and quality. And this is confirmed and enhanced with each and every room you enter. Opposite the imperial, palace like, ancient wooden entrance gates is an eye-catching contemporary stone waterfall feature. This contrast of contemporary and antique styles sets the tone for the rest of this impressive property. On either side of the entrance walkway there’s a sitting area and a pond with wide stepping stones leading to the wooden decked entrances of two bedroom pavilions.

This entrance courtyard is not only inviting and attractive but it provides a peaceful and serene relaxing environment. It’s a space which encourages you to sit in the shade and read or enjoy a drink in a very tropical and natural environment. Stepping into the enormous, and very white, space you’re faced with a wall of glass overlooking the pool and the sensational views.

The walls and floors are white terrazzo, the door and window frames are high quality wood which has been given a white-limed paint effect, as has the high vaulted wooden ceiling. Large comfortable sofas are also white and there’s a huge round terrazzo-topped white dining table all combining to create a capsule of white space. This contemporary minimalistic black and white styling has just the right amount of accessories and touches to make it aesthetically pleasing, interesting and comfortable. The choice of accessories, artworks and ornaments are distinctly Asian in origin and antique in design adding a sense of history to an otherwise very modern space. Hidden behind a floating wall on the left is the fully equipped modern kitchen with central island feature and all high-end appliances. A glass encased floating light-wood staircase leads up to mezzanine den. In here a comfortable day bed sits on a wooden floor facing a large flat screen TV whilst overlooking the lounge, the pool and out across the views.

The front of the open-plan living space opens to the poolside area which has extensive decking around the aquamarine-tiled infinity swimming pool. There’s ample space for sunbathing on the terrace and an assortment of outdoor furniture for relaxing and soaking up the sun. There’s a full outdoor dining table and chairs, and a stone built cooking/barbecue station. The pool has two decked island features, reached via stepping stones, which could be used for intimate and exclusive dining options or simply as extra sunbathing space.

Two identical bedroom pavilions sit on either side of the courtyard and each contains two double en-suite bedrooms. The first bedroom in each pavilion has a floating wall with dressing area behind and flat screen TV in front. The indoor/outdoor bathrooms are huge, a glass door opens to reveal a pebble surrounded sunken terrazzo tub which is the size of a small plunge pool, beyond that is a rain shower which is partially open to the sky with a bamboo cover.

A walkway leads from both bedroom pavilions out to the pool and steps on either side lead down to the level below. Cleverly situated on the lower level are the facilities that separate this property from other villas on the island. The first room is set up as a billiards/games room with a black wooden floor and one wall completely covered in natural grey stone. The next room adds to the entertainment options with incomparable style. This is a true Cinema Paradiso, with twelve black leather oversized seats, complete with drinks holders sunken into the arm rests. This is probably the lartest dedicated home cinema on Samui and its professional cutting-edge audio/visual system and integrated sound effect match the impressive dimensions of the room to create a genuine experience. The final room in this row is another double bedroom. This room has style in abundance with a grey stone wall behind the black contemporary four-poster bed.

To complete this villa there’s one more addition which ensures that the property offers something to please everyone, a private spa. Inside you’ll find a dedicated massage room, steam room, bathroom and shower room, all finished and furnished with style and quality.
