Baan Grand View

A magnificent hillside location on the outskirts of Bo Phut, Baan Grand View is a splendid five-bedroom property that boasts unbridled panoramas across the north coast of Koh Samui. From its lofty locale, enjoy expansive sea vistas and exclusive luxury living as the resplendence of the glittering ocean serves as the pristine backdrop to this wonderfully abundant abode. A stretched terrace ensures ample space to enjoy the tropical climes, an inviting infinity pool the perfect respite on sultrier days, plus verdant landscapes framing striking views to Koh Phangan – the iconic Thai isle that presides over this majestic skyline.

Designed by a highly-acclaimed Hong Kong architect, the inspiring open-plan space creates a seamlessly connected living experience which in no way compromises on guest privacy. Set into its own secluded enclave of this quaint fishing district, enjoy the most tranquil of surrounds within reach of a perfect stretch of white sand amidst the dense jungle landscapes of this paradisiacal island.

Residing in its own gated corner on the northern coastline of the blissful Koh Samui, Baan Grand View imbues the best of island living while still offering a sense of exclusivity from its prominent position. Just a short drive from the airport, yet deep within the vibrant jungle, slip seamlessly into paradise within minutes of disembarking the plane.

Bo Phut is the enchanting fishing village that has preserved its sense of tradition, while still catering to the intrepid jet-setter seeking high-end cuisine. Fishermen land their daily catch, which is served up from myriad charcoal grills that line the shoreline – there are few purer gastronomic experiences.

If not, feel free to rest in the serene sanctuary of your villa – discover holistic reprieve in such an indulgent destination.

Five picturesque bedrooms front Baan Grand View, each sharing the same regal opulence as the last and creating the most idyllic of luxury escape experiences. King-sized beds ensure uninterrupted slumber, indigenous ornamental artworks elicit a traditionally tranquil aura, while capacious ensuites - with their flowing rain-showers and terrazzo bathtubs - are the ultimate pleasure for revitalising repose.

The villa enjoys its own private kitchen with accompanying wine cellar; polished granite work surfaces glisten to the tune of Thai cuisine, while a grandiose teak table seats twelve beneath a centre-piece chandelier – this is palatial exuberance exemplified. An additional media sala caters for ten and boasts an integrated sound system, additional wine chiller as well as stove tops for a second dining destination, should the need arise. Then lay back in the extensive open-plan living space or take to the sun-drenched terrace and absorb the arresting panoramas – the 16m infinity pool is a pristine mirror in front of the never-ending ocean backdrop, sunsets are to behold from this unrivalled setting.

As fiery-skied displays abate for another evening, utilise the villa lighting system to extol the serene ambience so akin with paradise island living.

Baan Grand View is as striking as the name suggests, a peerless position at the top of this breath-taking island to give uninhibited sea views from the expansive sunset terrace. Ideal for grand family gatherings as much as intimate, friendly escape, five bedrooms can be extended to ten if choosing to rent the neighbouring Baan Grand Vista which lies in close proximity. Two spaces of equal majesty, indulge in the offerings of these two grandiose affairs.

Set in the midst of the dense island landscapes, there is an oasis-like aura to the gardens as waterfalls cascade through the cactus garden to create the richest island vibe, birds flitter among the treetops leaving guests awestruck at their environs. Koh Samui continues to attract the discerning traveller into its paradisiacal embrace, offerings such as Baan Grand View the key reason for such devotion to this magical isle.
