4-Bed Sea Villa

Most of Samui chases the sunset. This villa faces the other way, and wins the morning for it: set into the southern Lamai hillside on the island's east coast, the master suite's panoramic windows catch the sunrise over the water, and the day starts with the sea lit up in front of you. Architect designed over two floors and recently refurbished, the villa carries more personality than the island's standard white boxes, bold artwork, sculptural pieces and a confident sense of style running through spaces that remain calm and comfortable. The main living area sits under oversized tray ceilings with ambient lighting, with a modern fully equipped kitchen along one side, built in oven, microwave, electric hob and a large breakfast island with bar seating, and fully extendable sliding glass walls that open the whole room to the terrace. Outside is where the villa earns its keep: a natural stone, saltwater infinity pool with a built in jacuzzi, surveying the green hillside and the sea beyond, beside a partially covered terrace for outdoor dining. All four bedrooms are comfortable and characterful, with four and a half bathrooms across the house, full air conditioning and ceiling fans throughout, and the villa sold fully furnished as styled. The practical picture is quietly strong: a gentle private concrete road in, none of the steep mountain access that plagues hillside Samui, 700 metres to the coastline, government electricity, and a deep well with rainwater recovery backing up the supply. A characterful turnkey home or rental on the doorstep of Lamai's beaches, restaurants and services. Rental potential details on request.
