Villa Name: The Headland Villa 5

Headland Villa 5 is a chic, comfortable 4-bedroom residence with breathtaking ocean views over a picturesque bay. Ideal for families or small groups looking for some quality time away from the crowds, the leading edge designs blend with the natural surroundings in a unique, private location, easily reached from Samui International Airport but a world away from the island's busy tourist centres.

The villa's intelligent, multi-level layout features dedicated spaces for both adults and children, with bright, white interiors, comfortable furnishings and a choice of in and outdoor dining spaces. The living areas and bedrooms literally fold open onto the tropical views with an indulgent garden pool providing the ultimate private retreat from the heat.

The Villa Built over 3 levels, Headland Villa 5 is as practical as it is luxurious. The cool white living room and atrium dining area (seating 10) open directly onto the spectacular surroundings and cooling sea breezes. The spacious lounge features plush couches and armchairs, while the attached TV den is a favourite with the kids furnished with a long cushioned sofa, poised in front of a large wall mounted flat screen TV. The dining space is served by an open-plan western kitchen equipped with a full range of modern appliances, while outside, a lawned tropical garden frames the villa's indulgent 10 by 3 metre private pool.

The comfortable and airy bedrooms (2 double, 2 twin) open into generous ensuite bathrooms with rain showers, and one twin bedroom also features a built-in upper bunk, perfect for the kids. The villa is tastefully furnished throughout with deft touches adding Asian accents to the contemporary, minimalist feel and a full complement of cutting edge appliances to make daily life easy and relaxed. The full height, fold out glass doors blur the borders of the indoor and outdoor experience, allowing guests to make full use of the sublime sea view location with steps leading down from the villa to a quiet cove with a semi-private beach boasting yet more breathtaking views out the nearby islands of the Angthong Marine Park.

Staying at Headland Villa 5 is pure, luxurious escape. You never get bored of the stunning surroundings and this is one of the few locations on the island where you can watch the sun literally pour into the horizon. The generous outdoor spaces take full advantage of the natural environment and the cool, white interiors and uncluttered living spaces mean you can drift all day between the pool and rooms in your beachwear.

The efficient staff are always available but never intrusive and families with children can combine communal and private relaxation time with a choice of dedicated areas to escape to. Being part of a managed estate adds multiple benefits in terms of service and security, but once guests settle in to the villa there is no disturbance from neighbors and the properties are carefully planned to feel supremely private and exclusive. It's quite unusual to find such contemporary comforts in an unspoilt natural setting and the combination of sophisticated design, convenience and spectacular island views at Headland Villa 5 makes for a memorable vacation.
