Sila Varee is nestled high on a tropical hillside in Laem Set, Taling Ngam, a quiet and undeveloped area in the south of Koh Samui. Built on multiple levels, this luxurious contemporary villa has five bedrooms and a vast living area which overlooks the 9.5-metre infinity pool with fantastic views across the sparkling Gulf of Siam to islands hovering on the horizon. The villa’s team of professional staff will take excellent care of you, ensuring that you spend your time relaxing and enjoying the calm and peaceful natural environment.
The property is set on three levels. In the centre stands a two-storey building with two twin bedrooms on the ground floor alongside the infinity pool, sun terrace and outside dining and barbecue area. Above this is an open-plan, informal living area with kitchen, comfortable dining and lounge areas with full length glass doors leading out to a covered terrace with a huge dining table seating 12 and even more fabulous ocean views.
On each side of this main building is a master bedroom pavilion set among the landscaped tropical gardens. Below the pool level lies the fifth bedroom.
With picture-postcard ocean views from almost everywhere, Sila Varee's main living area has concertina style glass walls that fold open to blur the boundaries between inside and out. The interior décor features Anglo-Burmese tables, Tibetan furniture, Balinese teak coffee tables, contemporary works of art, sisal rugs and custom-made sofas. Hand-made light fittings highlight the rattan lined vaulted ceilings. The kitchen is modern whilst retaining a comfortable, casual feel. A dining table for four sits inside, whilst a massive Balinese dining table for twelve takes pride of place on the covered terrace. Complimentary breakfast is served here every morning. Two coffee tables with comfy chairs also populate the terrace. Wireless internet access is available throughout as well as satellite TV viewed on high-definition LCD TV and a Hi-Fi sound system with iPod dock linked to both interior and exterior speakers.
This lovely indoor outdoor living area is a great place to relax and unwind to some favourite music, enjoy a movie, or bury yourself in a good book.
The 9.5-metre salt-water infinity pool is protected by solid glass balustrades and has gentle steps down into its depths. Stave off the tropical heat with a refreshing dip while admiring the ocean views below or the jungle-clad hillside above. A large limestone sun terrace furnished with five sun loungers and a large sofa encourages you to soak up some sunshine, whilst a covered barbecue area provides seats in the shade and comes with an outdoor kitchen where you can rustle up a snack or mix a cocktail or two.
The two master bedrooms both offer outdoor relaxation on timber decks furnished with a pair of sunbeds, and the lawn landscaped garden next to Master bedroom 1 makes a shady sanctuary for children and adults alike.
