Villa No. 39

The private entrance leads onto a teak deck and the open living spaces that wrap the 17-metre infinity pool. The living and dining pavilion is open-plan and full of art and plants; both master suites give directly onto the pool deck; a smaller guest bedroom and the modern kitchen sit alongside. Everything on this level faces the sea.

A staircase drops to the lower bedroom, which is where children or friends go, and — like Villa No. 22 — Trisara rents this one as a 2-to-3 or a 4-bedroom villa depending on the party. There are 4 bathrooms across the house, on a plot of 1,468 square metres, serviced by a dedicated cook and housekeeper doing home-cooked Thai and Western, and it sleeps 5 adults with 2 extra beds.
