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 memorable and hassle free.

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.

Accommodation

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. There's even a built-in wine cooler for all day refreshments.ws on both sides that increase the overall feeling of space and grandeur. 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.

Additional Notes

Families
The family friendly advantages of a villa holiday are many, including access to your own private facilities and the freedom to use them whenever you want. Knowing that the kids can run around happily, independently and safely, without you having to worry about other guests, is a real plus - and one that means parents are certain to have a more relaxed holiday too.

The team of friendly staff at Lamai villa will make children feel as welcome as adults, and having these willing helpers on hand gives guests plenty of flexibility and freedom to do their own exploring Lamai the villa grounds (full-time babysitting incurs a small extra cost).

Don't worry about packing all that cumbersome kids' equipment for your stay. Just let us know what you need, and anything we don't have in-house, we can hire on your behalf.

And when the excitement of exploring the villa starts to wear off, check out our Things to do page - there's plenty in the area to keep kids of all ages amused throughout the holiday.

Dining
Good food, effortlessly provided and graciously served, is such an important part of a relaxing holiday experience. Lamai villa has an extensive reasonably priced menu of home-style Thai, Asian and international dishes that cater to all tastes, as well as vegetarian options, children's favourites and light snacks. There's also a choice of Thai set dinners, and barbecue menus and an excellent drinks menu. The experienced chef is happy to tailor meals to accommodate any special dietary requirements. He will also prepare off-menu items, shopping for groceries, keeping the receipts.

Complimentary breakfast is available daily, and tea, coffee and water are available on a complimentary basis through the day.

Events & Weddings
Villa Lamai with flowing spaces in and around the villa makes for an ideal location for small events, weddings and many other special occasions.  As well as sleeping 12, the villa and grounds comfortably hold 20-50 people.

The villa provides an idyllic, sumptuous yet intimate location for any event.

SPA
Feel like a body scrub or massage? Just ask our staff to bring the spa to you! We can recommend deluxe treatments carried out in the privacy of your own villa by fully trained therapists from a reputable local spa (extra charges will apply). Here's a sample of what's on the menu.

The world-class luxurious spa is an ideal place to unwind after an active day. Designed to reflect the natural elements that surround it, this revolutionary spa offers a holistic immersion oasis, within a path that blends the spa experience with the rich nature around it, and focuses on an open-air, refreshing experience.

A full body scrub will exfoliate and hydrate your skin leaving it soft and smooth. A rejuvenating scrub combines an abrasive material such as salt, coffee, rice bran or pecan hulls with essential oils to remove any impurities and make your skin glow.
