The Headland Villa 5

This exemplary property epitomises modern design with its chic interior and minimalist décor. Crisp, clean finishes extol the natural beauty that resides outside and provides the perfect canvas for the rich colour palette of the reflective Gulf of Thailand and the tropical landscaped gardens. Sitting within an exclusive bay, away from the hubbub of Koh Samui’s throngs, this is the family idyll so sought-after by vacationers.

The multi-storey structure makes intelligent use of space to accommodate four lavish bedrooms, each afforded its own privacy, whilst never compromising on the quality of the ocean-views outside. Large folding doors bring the verdant surrounds within arm’s reach, and the coolness of the rooms is the perfect foil to the tropically-warm outdoors. Repose in luxury at The Headland Villa 5 as its unique setting is a true paradise-found.

Just 45-minutes from Koh Samui’s international terminal, yet you may as well be in another world – the west coast is a million miles from the crowded towns the island has become renowned for. It’s 15-minutes to the central town of Lamai but, with its sense of utter isolation, you can easily forget the outside world. Or, just as quickly, give in to temptation and seek salacious revelry; there is no limitation to the lifestyle that can be found at The Headland Villa 5.

Set into a gentle cliff face, north of the peaceful fishing community of Baan Taling Ngam – perhaps the final bastion of traditional living still found on the island – there is abundant beauty throughout. And, despite the rural setting of the villa, the white sands of nearby beaches are within easy reach as is the new Intercontinental Samui – one of the several world-class resorts just a short drive away.

Set across three tiers, adults and children are afforded secluded escapes allowing the holiday retreat that families dream of. An open living-dining area that seats up to ten flows out into the warm sea air providing a natural retreat from the tropical climes. Lavish soft-furnishings abound, while a TV-snug to one side offers an escape for children as adults indulge in deep conversation. Beyond the balcony lies a beautiful tropical garden that shrouds a delightful 10m swimming pool.

The bedrooms provide airy shelter from the warmth of the outdoors with two doubles and two twins each with the privacy of their own ensuite, which include enchanting rain showers. An upper bunk in one of the twin-rooms accommodates a secretive spot for a younger guest. Huge folding doors create the spacious sensation exhibited by the expansive ocean-vistas and the sight of the magnificent Angthong Marine Park in the distance rounds off this mesmeric locale.

A picture of modernity in the heart of tradition – a rare enclave of Koh Samui that has managed to maintain its fishing roots. The Headland Villa 5 sits beautifully within the surrounds and absorbs the pleasant tropical climate through bi-fold doors – a true sense of island life envelopes guests from the moment they arrive.

A dedicated team of expertly-trained staff will drift imperceptibly through the grounds ensuring that nothing is out of place whilst 24-hour security maintains peace of mind. A private chef will serve daily banquets of zingy, fresh Thai cuisine, or adapt his offerings to cater to the eclectic tastes of your group, while a villa manager is on-hand to preside over any additional need; nothing surpasses a Thai massage delivered in the comforts of your own villa, so why not take things up a notch and organise a rare indulgence to round off your luxury retreat.
