Five-Bedroom Garden Villa

There are 2 of these, on the smallest villa plots here at 2,950 square metres — which sounds like a limitation and is not, because the ground is dense with palm and flowering shrub. You cannot see out and nobody can see in.

The 5 king pavilions, each one a bedroom, stand round one large open terrace with the pool at its centre, and there are indoor and outdoor dining rooms and living areas, so adults and children each have somewhere to be. A live-in housekeeper and Thai chef are the difference between a big house and a serviced one.
