Villa Location
From its lofty locale in the Baan Thai Surin Hill estate, Villa Shambala has the pick of the panoramas with Surin Beach just 500m below. The glistening white sands of Bang Tao lie to one side, while the indulgent offerings of the Amanpuri resort rest just within sight.
Surin Beach is a kilometre of untrodden sands, barely touched by the parasols that dominate elsewhere with the added allure of an isolated Laem Singh Beach just a few minutes further south. Surin itself is a peaceful idyll with only a handful of high-end establishments dotted throughout – the Twin Palms Oriental Spoon is famed for its Sunday brunch, while the Paul Ropp boutique offers a mesmerising selection of threads for those who wish to glam-up.
Bang Tao Beach is a revered shoreline destination with a variety of fine-dining restaurants - Catch Beach Club being among the best. More active offerings of surfing or SUP round of the experience of this hypnotic utopia.

Villa Layout
Four bedrooms of pristine beauty dominate Villa Shambala - a resplendent property that boasts the finest of locations and showcases an air of tranquillity that few other settings can achieve.
Cascading down a hillside across several levels, an elevator connects the entrance and first floor where guests are greeted by an expansive indoor-outdoor living arrangement that sits to an impressive natural cliff-face, shade provided by towering trees and vaulted ceilings. Living and dining rooms enjoy elegant teak floors and magnificently high ceilings, then beyond the walls lies a 20m infinity pool – the perfect setting for an early-afternoon dip, or al fresco evening dinner on the poolside terrace.
Four master suites enjoy the palatial second floor: king-sized beds, indulgent ensuites and open vistas creating an air of exclusivity and an ambience of complete privacy. The natural interior design spreads throughout the property with flourishes of personality added through indigenous artworks and installations. Bespoke furniture captures the detailed thought that went into the design and the inspired integration of a natural rock-face showcases the true majesty of this inspiring abode.
