The View Built into a lush, forested cliff side overlooking an unspoilt sand-swept cove on Samui's secluded southwest coast, the View lives up to its name with 180 degree vistas of island-peppered ocean splendor from almost every room in the villa. The rich medley of sea and sky provides a constant backdrop to the stay, as you drift between indoor and outdoor pleasures. Nature's spectacle reaches a breathtaking crimson crescendo at sunset, best enjoyed with friends and drinks on the generous pool deck or watching the show from the soft lawn garden or private beach side terrace.

The View greets its guests in style as soon as they reach the end of a shaded walkway that forms the villa's entrance, where a wide, lawn garden extends out to the oceanfront hillside, beyond it the glittering ocean.

A chic, three story pavilion to the right of the garden houses 4 spacious, glass walled living and sleeping spaces. The living room is furnished with an enormous sofa, an iMac loaded with music and applications, and the tunes can be piped throughout the villa and the films shown on 3 pull down projector screens. The entire space is backed by a plant-covered natural cliff face, with a pond feeding the waterfall that flows through the center of the property. Floating glass stairs then lead up to the two first floor master suites, and down to the pool, terrace, bar and covered relaxation lounge. Directly across from the living room, an equally spacious dining area is served by a fully fitted, resort-style kitchen, fronted by a cool, white breakfast bar and a 10-seater wooden dining table (extendable to 24).

Two spectacular sea view bedrooms upstairs both feature central king sized beds, large flat screen TVs (with satellite and DVD players), iPod docks and remote control blinds. One bedroom boasts both in- and outdoor rain showers in the en suite bathroom, the other a unique, in-room shower installation, and an indulgent outdoor tub surrounded by trees, and both rooms slide open onto dramatic, teak wood sea view terraces.

A 16.5 meter infinity pool with attached Jacuzzi fronts the entire lower floor of the main pavilion, and pours into the views. An outdoor dining area is served by a built-in barbeque next to the pool bar, while a poolside recess features cushioned sofas for shaded relaxation, and the second of three pull down screens offers laid back evening entertainment. A second sea view terrace serves as a massage sala, below it a fully fitted gymnasium (scheduled).

The remaining 4 bedrooms occupy their own pavilions to the left of the central lawn garden. The two double guest rooms are stand-alone bungalows with spacious interiors, wraparound balconies and generous en suite bathrooms featuring showers with sliding doors that open onto tropical views. Then a walkway feeds a pavilion to the rear, which houses a bright, airy children's room with 6 comfortable, built-in bunks, bean bag furnishings and a flat screen TV. This room shares an ample bathroom with a comfortable, twin bedroom with its own private balcony.

From the bedroom pavilions a wooden walkway meanders down through the trees to the villa's private, lawn, beach side terrace, perfect for day time repose or evening entertainment under the stars. Fitted speakers and another projector screen also make for the ultimate outdoor cinema.

The View offers everything you need for an unforgettable, bespoke tropical island holiday. High style and sophistication set amid astounding beach side beauty, with a host of indulgent but eminently practical comforts and amenities backed up by a dedicated staff team to cater to guests every need.

The villa manager takes care of every request with a willing smile, the in-house chef prepares a vast selection of exquisite dishes, and you can even indulge in one of the villa's own signature cocktails as you watch the sun sink into the island studded horizon. Lazing by the pool or down on the beach side terrace with chill out tunes or a soothing massage to calm your soul, it's easy to slip into the total peace of the surroundings. Then once the sunset spectacle is over, the villa makes for a fabulous private party venue, its multipurpose spaces also perfect for dream weddings and special celebrations.
