Villa 118

Conveniently placed along one of the island's chief thoroughfares, and yet with huge amounts of space both in its grounds and inside, this villa offers secluded and adaptable accommodation for friends or a family to share, within easy reach of both the International Airport, Bophut's "Fisherman's Village", and Chaweng the main tourist centre. It is also within walking distance of many varied restaurants, either along the beach or road.

The villa is made up of three pavilions set around a large and private infinity edge swimming pool, which is just a meter of grassed lawn away from the beautiful white sands of Bangrak Beach. This beach offers year-round safe swimming. The views are stupendous: across the ocean towards the neighbouring island of Koh Phangan, and they can be enjoyed from the pool terrace, living room and the master bedroom.

All the villa's bedrooms are air conditioned and have ceiling fans, and there are fans in the living room. There is Wi-Fi broadband Internet access for guests' use throughout the villa. The clever mix of modern features with Thai styling and accessories create a delightful and restful environment which will appeal to everyone.

The ocean view over to the neighbouring islands is eye-catching as soon as you enter the villa's inner courtyard. The main living pavilion is to the left, where the kitchen, dining and living spaces are located. This large room has full-length floor-to-ceiling windows, providing a generous and relaxing space in which to enjoy the views, unwind and dine.

At one end is the western-style kitchen which is fully equipped to the most discerning cook's high standards, and has a handy breakfast bar dividing it from the dining room. The central dining area has a feature wooden wall and wood ceiling, and a large eight-seat wood dining table at which all can be entertained in comfort. At the other end of the living room is the lounge area, with comfortable sofas and stunning views over to the famous golden Big Buddha temple and the adjoining coastline.

Opposite the living pavilion and across a small courtyard is the master bedroom pavilion. This suite has unobstructed sea views, and is the perfect place to wake in the morning or to fall asleep at night, to the gentle sound of the sea. This spacious room features a king-size bed, plasma TV with satellite and DVD/CD surround-sound system, a luxury en-suite bathroom with walk-in shower, a large bathtub, double vanity with twin hand basins, and an adjacent walk-in wardrobe.

Bedroom suites two and three are set in the third pavilion behind the master suite. These rooms are identical except that one has twin beds and the other a double. Each bedroom has its own TV with satellite and DVD/CD system, an en-suite bathroom with walk-in shower and ample wardrobe space.

The villa's large infinity edge swimming pool is set right on the beach edge behind a strip of lawn. There is a large terrace between the villa and the pool, liberally furnished with sun loungers for soaking up the sun or ocean gazing. Some of the sun beds are covered and are super shady spots from which to read or doze.
