Villa Description
Sunset splendour on the west coast of Koh Samui, Baan Akivara – or 'The Sea' as it translates from Sanskrit – is an ocean-front paradise that is as close to bleached-sand bliss as guests could hope to get. The refined style of the villa blends seamlessly into its marine surrounds with glass fronts offering open access to the pristine gardens – allowing the cool sea breeze to drift a tropical allure across the grounds.
Dark wood, water hyacinth, teak, bamboo – natural elements define the modern property as its use of indigenous materials complements a delightful setting. The minute you enter into the villa via its secluded courtyard, you're into a myriad of pebbles, plants and pavilions, each offering its own calming caress to elicit an immediate sense of relaxation. From the sumptuous soft-furnishings to the fine-linen finishes on the beds, there are no half measures in this blissful dwelling.

Villa Location
A sublime beach-side setting just 30-minutes from the airport and 40-minutes beyond Chaweng's lively environs – this is the perfect hideaway within easy reach of the more decadent delights that this modernised island now exhibits. Directly in front of the villa, one of the most beautiful beaches of Koh Samui – crystal clear waters with an exquisite coral reef just 50-metres beyond the shoreline; perfect snorkelling waters for any budding Jacques Cousteau. During summer months, tides recede further shedding a great expanse of powder-soft sand for kids to frolic on and others to enjoy volleyball and other such delights.
Being on the western edge of the island, Baan Akuvara enjoys the best possible aspect for sunset viewing and the peaceful Gulf of Thailand is the perfect reflective medium as the sun drops beyond the horizon and the sky lights up for the evening display. Lipa Noi beach is a favourite among many; its westerly aspect and accessibility to Chaweng two key reasons in guests' selections.
