Villa Blueview

The quintessence of aquamarine living, Villa Blue View has earned its name through breath-taking panoramas over deep azures coupled with dulcet decorative tones splashed among each of the rooms. Brain-child of the well-decorated GFAB Architects, this impressive contemporary structure sits high above the seas on the north coast of Koh Samui, and is the perfect vantage point from which to draw in the spectacular surrounds. With the beach just 800 metres from the villa entrance, the allure of the tropical waters is easily met.

From an altitude of 180m above sea-level, breezes naturally cool the open-air rooms and guests can recline in absolute peace; the dramatic infinity pool appearing as an extension of the ocean from this heady height. The Gulf of Thailand is a marvel in its own right and, with the visage of Koh Phangan floating gently on the horizon, there is a truly tropical aura to the villa. 

Among the swaying coconut palms of Koh Samui’s north coast sits this humble yet lavish abode; 180m above sea level and 800m from the pristine beach that idles below. The charming village of Bang Por has retained its Thai innocence and the white sands remain unimpeded by the throngs of tourists, the waters a crystalline blue and ever-inviting of visitors to take a plunge. Year-round swimming is a great attraction and peaceful strolls appeal to the lucky few. The fishing heritage has led to a multitude of local seafood restaurants that sit on the waterfront – expect the daily catch to be grilled to perfection; this is supreme Thai cuisine, but not as you know it.

The international airport is just a 30-minute drive to the south while Chaweng – with its party-vibe and revelry-oriented crowds – is a further 15 minutes. Should you wish to barbecue some of your own fresh fare, Nathon – the primary port of the island – is just 15-minutes away, and is renowned for its phenomenal food markets.

This intricately constructed property is a master-piece of design that extols the natural splendour of the area - and it had to, given the brilliant beauty of the landscapes. The cascading infinity pool captures the essence of Villa Blue View as water tumbles off the edge as if into the mirror-like ocean. Sunken day beds, a professional barbecue and a generously stocked bar – all set within a pool-side sala – create a true sense of outdoor luxury.

Lounging is equally resplendent with a bespoke entertainment space including wide-screen TV and integrated Bose music system, while to the side of the pool lies an additional sala with a giant sofa and large dining table - the perfect spots to admire the sensational seascapes or devour delicious breakfasts and decadent dinners.

The lower half of the property accommodates the enticing slumber suites. Each boast unbridled sea views and luxurious ensuites; huge glass facades giving way to expansive marine landscapes. The bedrooms include entirely modern facilities throughout, with one room perfectly adapted for family groups – movable twin-beds and built-in bunks offer ample room for younger party members or equally comforting surrounds for older couples.

The idyllic villa is an ideal getaway for family groups as well as friendly gatherings and, with its modern furnishings, everyone will feel at home in this contemporary dwelling.

The staff will drift imperceptibly through the property and guests can enjoy the privilege of their attentive service; while a private chef will tantalise the taste buds as he grills up the fresh catch of the day, delivering awe-inspiring banquets of incomparable delight. To sit up among the palms and admire the spectacle below, while the fragrant Thai ingredients sizzle over the coals with aromas drifting through the villa, is to finally realise a dream of unadulterated bliss. Cap it with a cocktail as the sun drops beyond the horizon, you’ll be desperate to extend your stay for eternity.
