Bophut
Koh Samui
Thailand
Ensconced in the lush Samui hills, the rather grand Ban Kinaree offers a sense of complete escape. Designed as a series of separate pavilions, this five bedroom sanctuary harmonises Balinese/Thai design with a contemporary edge.
Signature style touches such as intricately carved wooden doors, cool teak furniture, sliding glass doors and oversized beds are dressed up with bronze Buddha statues and Asian art, while plasma TV screens and surround sound are essential modern touches.
The focal point of this leafy compound is the 20-meter terrace and inky infinity edge pool, which have breathtaking views over Bophut Bay. Kitted out with a full bar, BBQ, giant screen and projector, the poolside sala begs for a party. And given the extravagance of so much privacy, why ever not?
The villa location, up in the Bophut hills and 10min drive from the Bophut "Fisherman Village", provides Guests with stunning sunrise and sunsets settings while dominating the neighbouring island of Koh Phan Ngan and being a short drive away from the beach or nearby restaurants.The Villa is 10 minutes drive from the airport and to Chaweng.
