If you’re looking for an oasis of luxury and peace on the stunning island of Koh Samui then Villa Upni Duniya - meaning ‘Our World’ - could be for you. This exclusive nine-bedroom five-star villa is perched on the pristine Bang Rak beach; a haven of understated elegance and exquisite beauty.

The infinity pool shimmers in the sunshine and appears to flow effortlessly into the sea, framed by tropical gardens and lush plants. Tall palms jut out of the pool like small desert islands and pretty fishing boats bob on the water on the horizon. Lay back on the submerged sun lounger and gaze across the tranquil water to the lively island of Koh Pha Ngan in the distance.

Set at the heart of the property, the Pavilion house is a central hub to gather and socialise, with a contemporary kitchen and open-plan dining room, alongside a comfortable lounge opening onto the stunning sun-drenched terrace which wraps around the serene infinity pool.

Inside there are high ceilings, warm teak floors, exotic furnishings in bright colours, and lavish linens. Traditional Asian finishes merge seamlessly with modern style and the villa creates a traditional but contemporary Thai sanctuary. A stepping stone path leads from the main house through the water gardens, with wooden decked bridges leading off to individual suites, and down to the waves lapping against the shore.

The ocean-front master suite is air-conditioned and offers a bedroom with a king-size bed, dressing room, luxurious marble bathroom with rain shower, private eight-person Jacuzzi and a private hot tub and grotto. Guests staying in this suite have private access to the beach and pool, as well as a beach-front terrace, private lounge and cinema room, executive desk area, fridge, flat-screen TV with Satellite and entertainment centre. A butler service is available on request. There are also four water garden suites which each offer a king-size bed, study area, dressing room, beautiful bathroom with shower, outdoor bath, and an al fresco deck with a private daybed. The final four bedrooms are gate suites - two with king-size beds and two with twin beds - with dressing rooms and luxury bathrooms.

Outside you feel truly immersed in the jungle, alive with amazing sights, sounds and smells. Soak in the hot tub as you listen to the birds singing or take a midday nap on the cosy cabana. The terrace is a romantic spot to enjoy a moon-lit dinner under the stars amidst the picturesque water gardens which boast endless views of the golden sands and azure sea.

There’s a team of 14 staff on hand to ensure your stay is everything you imagined. The master chef can prepare Thai, Indian and western cuisine on request and a personal butler can cater to every need. Whether you fancy a relaxing Thai body massage, want to connect with the tranquility of the surrounding area by trying out some sunrise yoga, or fancy a bit of excitement with watersports on your doorstep; anything is possible at Villa Upni Duniya.
