Villa 20

Set in beautiful tropical gardens, lush with orchids, lilies and birds of paradise, with it's own private swimming pool, this charming villa is just a few metres away from Laem Sett Beach, stretching in both directions it is one of the most picturesque spots on the island of Koh Samui. The property itself stands in a private haven of similar luxury villas, only minutes from the area's restaurants and shopping, and thirty minutes from the island's top golf course.

You may wish to start the morning by breakfasting alfresco on the extensive sunbathing terrace, a few palms shading you from the sun, or perhaps from the comfort of the stylish dining room, enjoying the breeze filtering through the open sliding doors. The open-plan layout of the living spaces in this villa really make the most of the wonderful surroundings, with floor to ceiling glass sliding doors and freestanding shelving units. Thai artefacts complement the splashes of spicy colour throughout the decor of the villa.

Lazy days by the pool may be first on the agenda, but once you venture out to other parts of the island, it's nice to know that there's a comfortable retreat at the end of the day. The two large bedrooms in this villa are furnished with comfortable queen-size beds, nightstands and built in wardrobes providing ample storage and hanging space. The master bedroom benefits from spacious en-suite facilities, with a walk-in shower, Jacuzzi bathtub, washbasin and WC, with the cool, chic interior set off by a glittering ornamental mirror. The second separate bathroom is equipped with a walk-in shower, washbasin and WC.
