The villa

The main living area is open-plan, with glass walls that fold away to open the room to the view over the bay. There are two lounge areas and a central dining table, and a fully equipped kitchen. A games area with a full-size pool table gives everyone somewhere to go indoors.

Bedrooms

• Four suites with king beds
• Three twin rooms, which can be made up as kings
• A children's room with three double bunk beds
• An en-suite bathroom and a dressing area for every bedroom

Outside

The infinity pool is 40 metres long and looks out towards the sea. Around it you will find sun loungers, a swim-up bar, an outdoor kitchen with a grill and a large outdoor dining table. The villa is surrounded by tropical greenery and feels secluded, while the beaches, restaurants and nightlife of Chaweng stay close.
