Villa HypnosThailand, Koh Samui

Welcoming and elegant, Villa Hypnos offers a home-from-home for you and your loved ones. Nestled on the northern hillside of Koh Samui at the Samujana estate – with its exceptional dining services and beach access – this eight-guest split-level villa is designed in a colourful contemporary style that complements the vibrant shades of the surrounding scenery. The location is secluded enough to feel peaceful and yet close enough to the action that the next adventure is always just around the corner. Drive to Choeng Mon Beach in under five minutes for golden sands and crystal seas, or the bustling streets of Bophut Fisherman’s Village to experience authentic Thai culture.

Family groups will appreciate the four large bedrooms with en suites – three are king sized and one is a twin room with an extra pull-out bed and cot. Delight your little ones with Villa Hypnos’s state-of-the-art home cinema, along with a basement den complete with Wii, Xbox, PlayStation and even an indoor slide. Grown-ups can play a spot of pool or enjoy a cocktail in the subterranean lounge. Bring everyone together to eat in the outdoor dining area, overlooking the glittering bay and distant islands, before moving across to the sunken lounge area to watch the stars begin to twinkle.

Villa Hypnos has a peaceful and secluded charm, making it the ideal setting for spending time together with family and friends. Take a refreshing dip in the saltwater infinity pool before rinsing off under the outdoor shower and sunning yourself with a good book on a sumptuous outdoor daybed. Evenings should be spent sampling the best of Thai cuisine, with a cornucopia of bars and restaurants to try – such as The Larder and Tree Tops by nearby Chaweng Beach. Alternatively, indulge in a meal prepared just for you using fresh local produce by one of the private chefs.
