The detailed aesthetics, fine materials, splashes of ancient of art and soothing colour scheme combine to make every element of this the villa extravagant, private and sensual. Hand-painted antique doors stand as the threshold to the future. As you walk through them you enter a sanctuary of modern pleasures encircled by antiquity and nature, the boundaries blurred by glass framed exteriors that slide open to welcome the outside in.
Ease away life's daily strain in the open-air Jacuzzi, slip into the cool infinity pool or drift into the reverie of a private massage, all just steps from the soft Samui sands. The signature Sala Thai invites you to relax on your personal, private island, suspended in the water of the pool. Recline on soft cushions and gaze at the sunset, drinking in the view to the soundtrack of the sea, live the beach life, breath in the sea air and experience complete release.
