The View is a magnificent combination of glass, natural textures and open space perched above its own swath of golden sand beach on the south-western coast of Koh Samui. The villa has been built into a lush, forested cliff side overlooking an unspoiled cove. The View clearly lives up to its name with 180 degree vistas of island-peppered ocean splendor from almost every room. The rich medley of sea and sky provides a constant backdrop, as you drift between indoor and outdoor revels.

Nature’s spectacle reaches a breathtaking crescendo at sunset, best enjoyed with friends and drinks on the generous pool deck, from the soft lawn garden or private beachside terrace. An infinity pool with an attached Jacuzzi fronts the entire lower floor of the main pavilion. An outdoor dining area is served by a built-in barbeque next to the pool bar, while a poolside recess features cushioned sofas for shaded relaxation. The pull down screen offers laid back evening entertainment with a movie. A second sea view terrace serves as a massage Sala—below it a fully fitted gym.

A chic, three storey pavilion to the right of the garden houses four spacious, glass walled living and sleeping spaces. A floating and glowing glass staircase leads upstairs and down to the pool, terrace, bar and covered lounge. Directly across from the living room, an equally spacious dining area is served by a fully fitted kitchen featuring a white breakfast bar and a wooden dining table for ten.

Four bedrooms, additional bedding options and nine bathrooms luxuriously accommodate up to ten adults plus six children at The View. The four bedrooms include en-suite bathrooms and air conditioning. One of the bedrooms provides an alfresco shower, while another offers an outdoor tub for pure serenity.

While lazing by the pool or down on the beachside terrace with chill tunes or a soothing massage, it’s easy to slip into the total peace of your surroundings at The View. The villa also makes a fabulous venue for private parties, dream weddings and other special celebrations. For a meditative experience, you can visit the nearby Marga Yoga center, while Top Cats Fresh Water Fishing offers the opportunity for a little adventure and to bring home the catch of the day!
