Villa NathonThailand, Koh Samui

With contemporary open-plan designs by renowned Bali based GFAB Architects, and intelligent, uncompromising living spaces, the villa boasts a distinctive, innovative character that breaks away from the more typical island villa layouts. There are no standalone pavilions, instead, everything is conveniently contained within a single, spacious, multi-level property that merges with the natural topography to offer a unique private tropical lifestyle experience.

The rooms open onto the fabulous island surroundings, providing a seamless integration of indoor and outdoor spaces, with a generous negative-edge pool as a centrepiece, its cooling waters merging with the ocean vistas for the ultimate sense of liberating escapism.

The modern interiors draw in the stunning views with contemporary luxuries, cutting edge technology and quality materials and furnishings in abundance, creating a supremely comfortable mountain retreat.

Villa Nathon is an expansive private residence that covers three levels with five en-suite bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a poolside seating sala, spa area with two massage beds and pedicure chair, a fully equipped Life Fitness gym, games room with ‘X-Men’ red pool table, library/study with sun deck ‘floating’ on the reflecting pond. The villa also boasts a deluxe private cinema with a three-metre screen and built-in reclined seating for 12-20 people.

Along with its huge 22m pool incorporating state of the art colour changing lights and an underwater speaker, another of the villa's standout features is the expansive Great Room, which opens directly onto the pool deck and combines a sunken lounge living area with plush couches and a dining area with 10 seater teak table and polished white Corian bar adjacent to the fully equipped western kitchen. High-end frameless floor-to-ceiling glass doors allow guests to take in the spectacular views at all times and in all weather conditions, day and night, deciding whether to rely on the cooling sea breeze or air conditioning to maintain a comfortable living environment.

The villa sleeps up to 12 (with extra beds) and all the bedrooms are airy, spacious, beautifully furnished, and carefully positioned to take in the breathtaking coastal vistas. All have flat screen TVs, large built-in wardrobes, personal safes, and the en-suite bathrooms featuring walk-in rain showers. Two of the bedrooms also boast indulgent, Jacuzzi baths with waterfall features and therapeutic lights.

Outside, sun worshippers have a choice of terraces furnished with comfortable loungers. The lower floor bedrooms also open onto furnished, covered balconies for private tropical moments, while planted terraces and towering coconut palms create an unrivalled sense of cosseted tropical escape.
