And it only gets better from there.

Inside, find a huge open living space, set beneath vaulted teak wood ceilings. Drop your bags, kick off your flip-flops, sink into one of the bespoke chairs or sofas to start your vacation with a hearty dose of doing nothing at all.

An LCD TV with DVD player and satellite will keep you entertained between bouts of sunbathing and poolside lounging. Pick your soundtrack: the villa has a high-end surround sound system with indoor and outdoor speakers.

The contemporary kitchen gleams with top-of-the-range Smeg appliances, including a coffee machine, two ovens and a wine fridge. Though your chef will make primary use of this space, it makes a great spot to gather in the mornings for pancakes and coffee at the supersized kitchen bar.

The villa also has a 10-person dining table for sit-down meals and planning day trips.

Floor-to-ceiling glass doors lead to the outdoor patio and pool deck with beach access. Sigh over the views and sip margaritas around your oceanfront infinity pool. While the adults relax, little ones can splash and play in the kid-friendly shallow section.

The pool deck has plenty of sun loungers, parasols, cushioned couches, and a canopied "cuddle chair" for a romantic moment. Fire up the grill for a Thai-style BBQ, then share your feast around the pool deck dining table. In the evenings, this idyllic retreat offers a prime spot to watch Samui's dramatic sunsets.

The sound of the ocean will lull you to sleep in each of the four elegant bedrooms, furnished with serene tones and teak wood vaulted ceilings.

Ocean views, plush king beds, and open access to the pool deck add luxury and convenience to the two master suites.

Two rooms with two twin beds in each (with two extra pullout beds available for an extra fee) open up to a tropical garden courtyard with outdoor seating. Both rooms have two twin beds (plus a pull-out bed), and ample wardrobe space.

Along with a flat-screen LCD TV and DVD player, all bedrooms have their own chic en-suite bathroom boasting an outdoor rain shower in a private tropical garden, indoor shower, double vanities and dressing areas.

The Service

We want you to enjoy the holiday of a lifetime. To give you an experience that lets you truly relax and rejuvenate. That's why everything about our service is tailored to you. Nothing less than 5-star luxury.

For instance, you'll have a resident Thai chef to prepare lunch and dinner from the in-villa menus. Your chef will buy fresh seafood and produce from the market on a daily basis, then prepare and serve your gourmet meal in the comfort of your villa.

Our 5-star service also means giving you high-end services, including in-villa spa treatments, an in-house concierge to book day trips and boat tours, and resident staff to keep the villa immaculate throughout your stay. From the moment you arrive, you'll also have an English-speaking manager to attend to your personal needs.

The Location

Located on the west end of Bang Rak Beach on Samui's north coast, the villa sits on a quiet part of the bay in a great central location. Enjoy endless views towards the island of Koh Som and Koh Phangan, and spend mornings watching local fishermen set out their nets along the shore.

Numerous restaurants are walking distance, from fine-dining to local Thai street cafes. The nightlife of Chaweng Beach is just over 10-minutes away when you feel like a change of scene, while Fisherman’s Village is only a couple minutes' drive.
