Resting on the beautiful west coast of Koh Samui, Baan Asan is the ultimate beachfront escape for those longing for warm sands and unparalleled views of the glittering sea. The villa is mere steps away from the pristine beach of Taline Ngam, inviting you to dip your toes into the crystalline waves whenever you wish.

Effortlessly blending modern architecture with traditional Asian touches, the contemporary open-plan living space coexists alongside intricate carved wooden walls and a splendid gong. A whole wall of this living area opens onto the stunning covered terrace, which in turn leads to a magnificent water feature. Aspiring chefs will be delighted by the two kitchens: one in a modern western style, the other a more traditional Thai-style kitchen with a lava stone grill and access to a fragrant herb garden.

Spend your days however you please at this peaceful paradise. Slide into the gorgeous infinity pool, whose aquamarine waters flow into a second pool especially well suited for your young ones, get lost in a gripping novel in the library, swing in the hidden fruit garden, surrounded by blooming orchids, or simply recline on a lounger on the sun-kissed terrace. Come evening, admire the spectacular sunsets from the comfort of the beachfront sala, before heading to the Jacuzzi for a spot of stargazing.

Easily accommodating families or groups of friends, the five bedrooms all offer ensuite bathrooms and sunken terrazzo bathtubs. In a magical personal touch, four suites lie in separate garden pavilions, with individual palettes of red, brown, green and blue to represent the Chinese elements of fire, wood, earth and water.
