Koh Samui Villa 432

Ban Kinaree Villa is an impressive and subtle combination of space, comfort and design. Nestled in the heart of tranquility in the hills of Koh Samui, this villa strikes an idyllic balance between contemporary grandeur and Thai-Balinese timelessness. The walk through the entrance area with its solid wood carved door and water features gives away the atmosphere from the 1st step into the villa.

The Ban Kinaree villa is made of 3 separate pavilions harmonized in a terraced compound setting with a luxuriant yet simple garden landscaping.

The smallest pavilion hosts one bedroom and its en-suite; the largest and main pavilion features the large living/dining/kitchen as well as the 20 meters terrace overlooking the Bophut Bay on the first floor, 2 bedrooms with en-suite occupy the ground floor; the 3rd pavilion hosts the master bedroom and the 5th bedroom on the ground floor.

The layout of the property and the garden setting with its waterfall provide both ample privacy and comfort to everyone when desired and also allows great entertaining when opened up as a complete residence.

Each of the bedrooms has been designed to provide optimum comfort and privacy by featuring oversized sleeping area and grand bathrooms with both shower and a large bathtub. All bedrooms are equipped with a TV and DVD player and full length sliding doors with a view to the ocean.

All attention of the villa gathers around the large infinity-edge and black tiled swimming pool, which reaches out to a stellar view of greenery and ocean. The pool Sala presents a full bar and BBQ as well as a giant screen and projector for movie fanatics while others may indulge themselves in the privacy of the Jacuzzi attached to the pool.

The Ban Kinaree villa location, up in the hills and 10min drive from the Bophut “Fisherman Village”, provides guests with stunning sunrise and sunsets settings while dominating the neighboring island of Koh Phan Ngan and being a short drive away from the beach or nearby restaurants.
