The Villa

Baan Ora Chorn is extravagantly spacious with just four bedrooms (plus a nanny's room) spread over a huge 2000sqm plot right on Lipa Noi beach. Elegant contemporary Thai architecture blends well into this peaceful tropical beachside setting smothered in palms bursting with coconuts. Steeply sloping roofs and vaulted ceilings with vast walls of glass complement the extensive wood finish used throughout to give an understated yet very chic feel. A huge 18m pool set in English style green lawns dominates this stylish property, contrasting nicely with the waters of the turquoise bay and the glorious white sand of the almost deserted beach. Stone washed paths lead up from the beach linking the poolside sala (ideal for alfresco dining) with separate bedroom pavilions, housing two of the four double bedrooms (all ensuite and three with outdoor bath tubs) and onto the main pavilion. A huge open lounge and dining room dominated by rich woods and extensive floor-to-ceiling folding doors stands over the whole property with great views out to the Islands in the distance, particularly from the balcony. Gentle sea breezes flow through this light and airy pavilion which also houses the kitchen, a TV room and two further double bedrooms. Four staff cook, clean and serve, discreetly gliding around the property. The chef conjures up both Asian, especially Thai, and western cuisine from the open, fully equipped kitchen whilst the chirpy manageress is on hand to arrange sightseeing, shopping, boat trips and car hire (all extra). All provisioning can be undertaken by the chef based on guests’ wishes (on account), and an extensive suggestions menu is there to assist. Ora Chorn means ‘beautiful or dignified lady’ – this captures nicely the essence of this elegant and somewhat refined villa.


Location

Baan Ora Chorn is one of a cluster of exceptional private villas on the quiet western side of the secluded Lipa Noi peninsular. You approach the villas through an unfinished development with little sign of construction. There is nothing of consequence in the immediate vicinity of the villa, which guarantees complete peace and quiet. The beach is gloriously sandy and the sea is ideal for swimming year round and boasts beautiful views out to the small islands of the National Marine Park and across to the mainland. Facing due west, this is also the best beach on the island to enjoy the tropical sunsets. A small jetty for ferries to the mainland sits a few hundred metres left of the villa, its only impact being the occasional distant announcement of a departure. Local life centres on a small fishing village towards the end of the bay, which is also one of the chef's sources for delicious fresh seafood.

Rooms

The entrance to Ora Chorn is up wide stone steps which lead from the car port and rear gardens. At the top of the steps is the imposing main living and dining room (seating for 10) with vaulted ceilings and lazy fans (no air-conditioning), tall fold-away patio doors and a delightful balcony overlooking the front gardens, swimming pool and sea beyond. A half flight of stairs leads down to an open-plan and equipped kitchen with small breakfast bar, adjacent to a TV room with satellite TV, DVD player and comfy sofas. Head out of floor-to-ceiling fold away doors and underneath the living room is the first bedroom, a king with ensuite shower. The second bedroom in the main pavilion, again king bedded, is off the living room up a half flight of stairs. Highlights include an open balcony bath shaded by tall palm trees, separate shower, a private sun terrace and pleasant balcony with sea views. Leading from the main pavilion towards the sea are two further stand-alone bedroom pavilions. Both with king beds, huge vaulted ceilings with pleasant fans, chic walled outside baths and separate inside showers. The bedroom at the front has fabulous sea views and tall ceiling doors which fold back to a terrace and a storage area which doubles as a child’s single bed. All bedrooms are air-conditioned and come with Bose iPod players, modern bathrooms including raindrop showers and twin sinks. Down a few steps is a sala with dining for 10 and a convenient drinks fridge adjacent to the 18m swimming pool which is surrounded by sun loungers and day beds. Lawns lead to the beach just beyond.
