The Villa

The route from the airport provides a window onto Koh Samui’s developing east coast, but as you drive south, and the roadside bustle is replaced by coconut groves and palm plantations, you will appreciate the exclusivity of your destination. With only a glittering sea temple and a sprinkling of other luxury villas nearby, and the powder-white sands of the South China Sea alongside, Villa Kalyana’s location is one of its greatest assets.  But this capacious villa has a lot more to offer besides.

Nine luxuriously appointed bedrooms, a practical kids’ bunk room, and a collection of living, dining and relaxation spaces are arranged around the inviting 18m pool which boasts its own gem-like island, reached via an arched bridge. The entire estate has been thoughtfully planned to conserve the majestic coconut palms that sway overhead, endowing the villa (built only in 2009) with a sense of establishment and belonging beyond its years.

Four of the guest rooms occupy generous pavilions with elegantly peaked cedar-shingle roofs and wide glass doors that open to the gardens, pool and beach. Inside – beneath stately vaulted ceilings – four-poster beds, lounge and desk areas, kitchenettes and spacious dressing rooms provide for both practicality and comfort. Four smaller guest rooms, plus the kids’ bunk room, are situated on the lower floor of the main pavilion which presides over the estate.  Upstairs in this grand building is an open-fronted reception area, incorporating a striking and intricately carved antique pavilion imported from Pakistan and reconstructed on site, where it ‘floats’ above a cool and calming fish-filled pond. Presiding over the estate from this same level is Kalyana’s master suite; its spacious lounge and library area offering a haven for those seeking some quiet time. A raised walkway from the voluminous master ensuite leads to a private walled terrace with a pair of shaded teak sun loungers and a romantic jacuzzi bathtub open to the skies.

A team of staff headed by Khun Jin, the villa’s knowledgeable and friendly manager, warmly attends to guests at Kalyana, providing Thai and Western cuisine from an extensive villa menu (provisions are on guest account). The villa also offers an extensive range of leisure and sports facilities, including sea kayaks, snorkelling equipment, jetski, catarmaran and an SUV (some of which incur additional hire charges).


Location

Villa Kalyana luxuriates among the palm trees of a mature coconut grove next to a secluded and serene beach of white powdery sands at the southernmost tip of Koh Samui. The only significant landmark in this rural part of the island is Wat Laem Sor, just a few minutes’ walk across the headland. The temple’s golden beachside pagoda is dedicated to local fishermen. There's little else to see or do in the immediate vicinity other than enjoy the beach and views and avail yourselves of the villa’s excellent watersports facilities, which include kayaks and snorkelling equipment, a jetski and an 18-foot catamaran.

Rooms


From an attractive driveway, steps lead up to Villa Kalyana’s grand reception lounge, which overlooks the gardens, pool and beach.  This impressive space boasts a high octagonal ceiling hung with antique lanterns that illuminate the night like hovering fireflies, while bright red sofas furnish the delicately carved pavilion that lends a regal ambiance to the room.

To the left, through antique wood doors, is the luxurious master suite, incorporating a lounge and library area with 32-inch TV; dressing rooms; a king-size bed and a huge ensuite with a decadent jacuzzi bath upon a rooftop terrace.

Matching doors to the right of the reception lounge lead into a long, air-conditioned dining room, incorporating a TV area, well-equipped guest kitchen and well-stocked bar.  Windows open widely to the front and two massive tables create dining space for 20. Beyond the dining room is a barbecue terrace, below which lies a staff area where a hotel-standard stainless steel kitchen has catering capacity for up to 60 guests.

A graceful staircase leads from reception to the garden, guest bedrooms, games room (which can convert into a conference room) with billiard table, and a comfortable home theatre where a digital media server supplies vast entertainment options.

Four air-conditioned and fan cooled guest bedrooms and a children’s room furnished with a four bunk beds, are situated here. All guest rooms face the ocean and are equipped with comfortable sitting areas, TVs, iPods, desks, mini fridges, tea and coffee-making facilities and king-size beds (four-posters in three rooms). Décor is cool and minimal with pale tiled floors, cream walls, quality teak and rattan furniture and Asian artefacts. Neat modern bathrooms are fitted with marble-topped vanities and rain showers. Two of these bedrooms are interconnected making them ideal for families.

Set around the pool are four guest suites; each occupying a spacious, peaked pavilion with two walls of glass that fold back to embrace the sea breezes. As well as the above-mentioned facilities, these suites boast regal four-poster beds set upon teak platforms; walk-in dressing areas; kitchenettes with sinks and ample storage, and romantic indoor/outdoor bathrooms where rain showers and sunken tubs are secreted within walled gardens. Decked terraces topped with sun loungers front each room.

Poolside, round red-cushioned daybeds form a delightful outdoor lounge, and on the sandy fringes of the garden two more loungers in a shady beach pavilion look towards tiny islands set within a turquoise sea.
