Overview
Recently delivered in 2012, villa Lamai is equipped with all of the
modern day amenities and state-of-the-art electronic equipment. The
villa is served and operated by its own team of hosts, striving to
constantly and consistently impress you and ensure your stay is

Hidden from the world for many years,
Koh Samui became known as a bohemian paradise, where carefree visitors
could indulge in the endless sandy white beaches. Today it remains an
isolated escape for those seeking comfortable luxury in a breathtaking
location. With beautiful beaches lined with elegant palm trees, warm
emerald seas, and imposing mountains cloaked in verdant rainforest, it
is a unique destination that brings together adventure, comfort and
unforgettable Thai hospitality.
With an ultimate location, the
resort lies proudly in a spectacular sea view development less than 10
minutes from Samui's Airport and only 15 minutes from the main tourist
center of Chaweng Beach. Nestled in a natural setting of breathtaking
beauty, Panacea boasts commanding panoramic views from Koh Phangan, Plai
Laem, the Big Buddha, to Chaweng.
This hill position overlooking
the magical coast of Bophut and the quaint fisherman's village, is a
major plus point as it benefits from continuous refreshing breezes and
provides an unparalleled sense of exclusivity and privacy.

Entering through the ornate gateway into the Resort development, the first thing you notice is the feeling of luxury and sophistication. Natural stone walls add privacy to the upmarket homes and tropical landscaping enhances the surroundings, creating a reassuring sense of total quality.
The first villa you reach is Lamai, which means 'opportunity and chance', the perfect name for such an attractive and elegant home. Lamai combines striking architectural features, exceptional furnishings and natural materials with inspiring sea views from every room. Entering the house through the electronic gate into the driveway, the house opens into a well-planted, landscaped tropical garden with steps running down the side of the main living pavillion to a delicious ocean view pool. The entire villa exudes absolute comfort and indulgence. You can easily imagine spending hours simply relaxing and enjoying the comfort and tropical surroundings.
From the driveway you enter the impressive living pavillion with a ter-race opening from the side of the main pavillion. The path from the main gate is fringed with a water feature and stone walls that create an appealing natural ambience. Large wooden doors open into an astonishing elevated living space that runs virtually the whole length of the property, with high, wood-lined, and vaulted ceilings, and windoInside this vast space, an eye-catching pedestal dining table sits like a piece of art in the centre of the room. To the right is a sophisticated kitchen area with an island breakfast bar. All the high-end branded ap-pliances are fitted in an outstanding kitchen that not only looks fantastic with light wood units, chrome fittings and marble surfaces, but is also well planned and designed to include everything guests need.

The whole front and side of the living area features sliding glass doors that open up to draw in panoramic views across the forested valleys, right down to the bay of Bophut and Samui's many offshore islands.
An eye-catching wooden dining table sits in the centre of the room, served by a sophisticated kitchen with an island breakfast bar and brand name, fitted appliances. The kitchen not only looks great with its wooden units, chrome fittings and marble surfaces, but it is also well designed to include every-thing guests may need during their stay. It even features a built-in wine cooler for chilled refreshments day and night.
On the opposite side of the dining table is the lounge area which has a flat screen TV mounted on a pine cabinet and surrounded by comfortable brown and white sofas and chairs, as well as contemporary ornaments and artworks. Running the whole length of the room is a balcony with an almost invisible glass barrier looking out over the garden and pool. All-weather chairs are poised for guests to take in the spectacular surroundings.
Stairs on both sides of the balcony lead down to the lower level of the villa where three appealing guest bedrooms face out across the garden, pool and views. A covered walkway connects the rooms and doubles as a shaded outdoor terrace. Each of the three bedrooms has ample built-in storage space and an en-suite rain shower room. All the rooms have king size double beds, making this an ideal family or group villa. High-quality furnishings and accessories, plush and stylish interiors make the bedrooms far more than simple sleeping spaces.
In front of this bedroom level a lawned garden leads to the pool terrace. To one side of the huge pool, sunken stools are served by a built in bar, incorporated into a covered sala or gazebo, which also houses a dining table and cushioned bench seats. This is ideal for lazy days snacking and relaxing or even for an al fresco feast or pool party.
To the right of the pool is the first of two master suites. Staying here will be an experience to remember. A vaulted wooden ceiling with glass at the front and back creates an airy and light atmosphere. Doors open directly onto the pool terrace and take in the spectacular views. There's a separate dressing area and an en-suite that has twin sinks, a rain shower and an indulgent terrazzo bathtub with windows looking directly out across the pool and to the ocean. Again the furniture and the artwork in here are modern in design.
Steps at the rear of the lower master suite lead back up to the lounge area and from the steps, a door leads into the second upper floor master bedroom that mirrors the one below. Dramatic views and luxurious in-teriors create an atmosphere of cosseted privilege for those lucky enough to stay in one of these fine suites.
Lamai villa is defined by its quality and luxury. The finish, the furniture and the layout are perfectly planned to make staying here a practical, as well as an enjoyable experience. A full team team of dedi-cated staff is on hand to cater to guests needs, including a full time chef who prepares delicious meals to order and an experienced villa manager to answer special requests and assist with bookings and travel arrangements.

About Bo Phut
The
quaint village of Bo Phut is something of a contrast to neighbouring
Chaweng, which is Koh Samui's main tourist centre. Bo Phut is much
smaller than Chaweng, a picturesque seaside village and beach with a
laid back, almost Mediterranean atmosphere focused around a narrow,
one-way street lined with a good mix of restaurants and bars, many
housed in traditional wooden buildings. The original fishing village has
expanded to the point that it can no longer be called sleepy and the
jetty is a popular starting point for speedboat trips to outer islands
including Koh Phangan, Koh Tao and Ang Thong National Marine Park. Just
past the village, Bo Phut bay stretches north and is fringed with
palm-fronted, upscale boutique resorts. Bo Phut district actually covers
a relatively large part of Koh Samui, stretching from the main west
coast tourist centre of Chaweng to Mae Nam beach in the north. In the
last few years, the hills behind the original village have become the
location of choice for a number of new high-end residential
developments. Large luxury villas are scattered amongst the palm
plantations and the main road that serves them is now lined with all
kinds of commercial suppliers, furniture outlets and convenience stores.
