Baan Sairung is elevated above Kamala’s village below and offers ocean and mountain views. The half-moon infinity pool is flanked by an entertainment deck and a private entrance to the main bedroom. Floating cement stepping stones split the pool in two and separate a smaller wading pool that includes a large underwater skylight allowing natural light through to one of the ground floor rooms.

The villa is entered via terracotta tiled stairs from its surrounding garden and through white-washed walls to a large open landing, a spectacular infinity pool and views out over the Andaman Sea

The semi-detached living space on the top floor not only features an outdoor entertainment area, but an open-plan living and dining room, with floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors. Open the doors to this spacious living area and allow the outdoors in. Views of the pool, its surrounding foliage, and the Andaman Sea, make an unforgettable spot for a dinner party.

The open-plan kitchen of this villa is modern and functional. It is stocked with glasses, cutlery and crockery ready for entertaining a large group. The eight-seater lounge and dining room table for up to 12 guests are complemented by a small bar and barbecue area outside, allowing for several different dining options and inside-outside entertaining.

Polished wooden floorboards lie below well-appointed furnishings with a modern television and sound system.

Two other bedrooms complete the lower floor, both with en suite bathrooms. One of these bedrooms includes a small living area under a skylight that looks into the wading pool above it.

Service is provided by the on-site estate manager for the Coolwater villas and her team of housekeepers, gardeners, and pool cleaners. The well-trained staff are discrete and take care to respect your privacy. A Thai chef can be hired on request to prepare an array of local cuisine or a more laid back seafood BBQ.
