Baan Hinta

Set to a spell-binding backdrop of tropical white sand, Baan Hinta is the ultimate beach-side escape and one of only two villas to boast the privilege of this incredible locale. At the forefront of Thai architecture, few properties match the progressive stylings of this sophisticated dwelling.

The villas perch atop grandiose granite boulders that stretch across the pristine beach into the crystalline waters of the heavenly azure sea. The intricate design creates an inimitable sense of space that juxtaposes the thickets of jungle that abound on all sides.

Prizing a striking roof-structure that showcases cedar-shingle cladding and towering vaulted expanses, the ceilings soar as much as 10m above the central living areas, while dropping to create more intimate surrounds in exclusive bed-chambers. Slide into the capacious living spaces of the lounge, open-plan kitchen and impressive pool-side terrace – each one creating a seamless flow that connects one element of the property to the next with absolute grace.

The lavish luxury of the property is only rivalled by the unblemished beauty of the scenery – this is a destination to behold.

Set on a discrete landscape on the south-eastern corner of Koh Samui, Baan Hinta enjoys an undiscovered stretch of island coastline that resides just 25-minutes from the airport and a mere 15-minutes from the indulgence of Chaweng.

Pass into this sophisticated setting to a greeting of expansive split-level living – timber flooring creating a homely vibe, the extended dining area revealing the tropical exterior that lies beyond. An ultra-modern western kitchen lies open-plan with recognisably branded goods – a feast of mod-cons for stylish banquet preparation. The elongated wooden dining table is a grand setting for up to twenty guests, perfect for any meal prior to retreating into the neighbouring relaxation sala, which sits decorously furnished with a super-soft sofa, inviting arm-chair and elegant coffee table.

The main living area unveils domineering sofas that border a chic teak table – an erudite stand for a flat-screen TV, DVD’s on offer for easy entertainment. This opens onto the extensive sun-drenched decking that includes daybeds and sun-loungers amidst its myriad offerings for daytime repose. The swimming pool glistens in the sultry sun while – post-sunset – draw down the projector screen and enjoy outdoor movie viewings in tantalisingly tropical climes. Perfectly-positioned adjacent to a kids’ bedroom, youngsters love the glass wall that peers into the depths of the pool.

Stairs descend to a tier where one finds two of the villa’s four bedrooms: king-sized beds fronted by lavish TV offerings, impressive seascape panoramas as well as opulent ensuites that emerge from the natural rock formations. Free-standing tubs delight all guests while showers wash away the ultra-soft sand – exclusive basins for him and for her, plus comforting gowns to ensure the ultimate 5-star experience.

A convivial terrace stretches from the middle floor with an additional outdoor bathroom for visiting guests. Below lies two bedrooms: one the master suite with exclusive access to the bleach-white beach.

Being on the cusp of the waterfront, one might expect adrenalin-fuelled offerings. With its own selection of modern equipment – including sea kayaks and SUP’s – there are activities to suit all ages. With the excitement of a nearby marine adventure park – the famed ‘Water Edge Sports’ facility – indulge in motor-powered delights such as Bladefish, Jet Ski, Power Dive, Sea Bob, Wakeboarding or Jet Lev Flyer.

The architect’s focus when piecing together the delightful Baan Hinta was on maximising the serenity of its beach-front setting, as much integrating the property within the verdant nature of its jungle surrounds.

Paradisiacal panoramas extend on all sides, while the capacious living and dining rooms descend directly to the picturesque pool - beautiful beach resting gently beyond. Inviting interiors flow outdoors with little barrier between living spaces, while the iridescent scenery and effervescent flora create a vibrant setting for the property. A style mimicked by the ebullient architecture of the abode.

The villa exudes luxury alongside elegance, and welcomes guests into the warmest of homely embraces, while extolling the sublime scenery in which it resides. Integrated living spaces create the picture-perfect setting for intimate friendly gatherings as much as for larger family reunions or celebrations.
