The second king sized bedroom and the twin room also both have direct sun deck and pool access, with green jungle views beyond and no other overlooking properties. The fourth bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom and is ideal for children with full size single bunk beds.

The large living room has ample seating on a big comfortable sofa. You can relax and watch the 50' flat screen television with cable TV and DVD player (a small library of recent movie hits is available). The 8-seater dining table is perfect for dining on sumptuous Thai food, with a high chair available for the little ones. There is an iPod docking station so you can bring your own music to relax to. Again the living room opens directly onto the swimming pool, and looks on to nothing but open space and green trees.

The open plan, fully fitted luxury western-style kitchen is fully equipped to meet your every need, complete with dishwasher, microwave, side by side fridge/freezer, sandwich maker, coffee percolator, blender, rice cooker and everything required to accommodate your every need.

Outside is the large sun terrace complete with a large L-shaped luxurious outdoor seating area to relax and unwind on and sun beds to soak up the sun. The tempting 8 x 4m infinity edged private swimming pool has an integral Jacuzzi and is completely private and not overlooked by any other properties. A children's pool guard is available on request to cordon off the swimming pool so that it is safe for our small guests. Next to the pool is the sala containing another dining table seating 8 and gas BBQ, making it ideal for al fresco dining.

Sapphire Villa offers unlimited free wireless internet access for those people who cannot totally escape, or have to keep in touch with the rest of the world. In the twin bedroom, there is also a Nintendo Wii with a selection of games and a second 42' flat screen TV with DVD player, to amuse younger guests who wish to take a break from the sun and a small library of books, board games and toys.

With great attention to detail, the villa is tastefully furnished in dark teak furniture and beautiful Chinese antiques mixing with Thai influenced art works and silks. The indoor and outdoor living areas offer a central area for all guests to relax in, and these are complimented by cream, gold and warm orange soft furnishings.

We would request no-smoking at Sapphire Villa, but those guests wishing to do so are please asked to do so outside, with care.
