Baan JakawanThailand, Koh Samui

From the moment you drive through the large wooden gates of Ban Jakawan and step out into the shaded greeting sala with a 180-degree view of the ocean you know you are somewhere special. Laid out in multiple Thai-style pavilions, and on different levels, Ban Jakawan's design offers an enhanced sense of openness and privacy.

Each of the seven stunning bedroom suites enjoys uninterrupted sea views, whilst the infinity pool, dining terrace, poolside sala and extensive living areas provide plenty of space to enjoy an unforgettable holiday with family or friends.

The central pavilion is made up of an open plan living / dining room seating 12 with high vaulted ceiling, glass doors leading to an enormous wraparound terrace with 230-degree ocean views. Here you'll find every last modern convenience, ipod docking, flat screen TV, surround sound system and high-speed wifi. 

There is a western style kitchen for those wishing to self-cater, and an exterior terrace with dining table and relaxation area. The focal point to this villa is the pool deck with low chemical infinity-edge pool, one of the largest on Koh Samui complete with shallow round pool linked to the main pool. 

Turquoise cushioned sun loungers and shaded sofa beds with parasols provide the perfect area to relax, while a thai-style pool sala with dining table to seat twenty, full outdoor kitchen with fridge and grill, swim up bar and outdoor bose sound system is perfect for entertaining. 

Each of the seven luxurious bedroom suites at Ban Jakawan makes the most of the stunning sea views. The suites sleep up to 15 people maximum.
