Blooming from the rugged beauty of the rocky shore, Baan Hinyai reaches to the sky like the elegant trees which surround it: a perfect blend of chic glamour and natural wonder.

Situated just metres from the wonderful Na Muang waterfall and steps from the beach, Baan Hinyai feels like a hidden paradise. Yet everything you need is close at hand, with the airport just 25 minutes away, the vibrancy of Lamai Beach within a five-minute drive and the superb Royal Samui golf course just 15 minutes from your door. You are also a few minutes stroll from a marine adventure centre where you can hire water sports equipment for a thrilling day out on the waves.

Composed of glorious lofty rooms, with vaulted ceilings leaping skywards in cedar-clad peaks, Baan Hinyai captures an air of freedom and celebration throughout its elegant, contemporary design. Rich, tropical woods give the sense of an enchanted forest whilst gleaming white walls and stylish furnishings provide graceful sleek lines.

The main living area is a fabulous great hall with deep-cushioned sofas around a flatscreen TV and gorgeous wooden furnishings providing a cosy gathering spot whilst a magnificent 20-seat dining table looks out through great glass windows to the view beyond. The high-end kitchen includes LG and Siemens appliances and blends seamlessly into the rest of the space. Sliding glass doors peel back to meld outdoor and indoor together and welcome in those beguiling sea breezes.

The five sumptuous ensuite bedrooms have the feeling of secret tree houses with verdant foliage shading the windows and sweeping floors of smooth wood rising to canopy-like ceilings. Four have delectable king beds with the fifth making a great space for kids with its large twin beds; all five have TVs and incredible sea views. The gorgeous bathrooms are lavish spa-like havens with free-standing tubs and gorgeous showers.

Reaching towards the beach, a spectacular series of terraces, balconies and decks host a plethora of relaxing and dining spots. Beautiful wooden terraces soak up the sunshine before spilling down to the exquisite landscaped gardens and fragrant flowers. The wonderful sala means you can dine al fresco in sheer style before slipping into the dazzling infinity pool whose waters seem to flow directly into the ocean. Beyond lie the soft sands with the chance to venture out on the home's kayak or paddle board or simply to sit and soak up the serenity and beauty all around. Back at home, the villa manager and private chef will ensure your every need is catered to, leaving you free to dedicate all your time to the art of relaxation.
