Overview
Recently delivered in 2012, villa Malai 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 impressive development, the first thing you notice is the feeling of luxury and total quality. Natural stone walls add privacy to the upmarket homes and tropical landscaping enhances the appearance, creating an appealing, organic living environment.
Malai villa is the second villa on the estate. The name means 'health' and you certainly feel the benefits of the natural surroundings at this villa. Malai villa is a sophisticated and elegant home that blends striking architectural features, exceptional furnishings, natural materials and a scintillating sea view from every room.
Entering the house through the stylish wooden gate with wood-tiled roof structure, the property opens into a well-planted, landscaped tropi-cal garden. Everything about this villa gives you a comfortable and homely feeling. You can imagine spending hours relaxing and enjoying this garden. To the right is a large covered driveway and again, adding to the naturalness of the villa, wooden tiles have been used on the roof.
From the drive, steps lead up to a terrace area on the side of the main building. The path from the gate is fringed with a water feature and natural stone walls. Bordering the garden, a natural stone wall creates a high, back wall which drops all the way down to a moat-like water fea-ture that runs behind the ground level of the house. The path has steps up to a bridge which crosses this space. With the stone walls, the moat and the bridge it's almost like entering a charming medieval castle.
Large wooden doors open into an astonishing elevated living area. This expansive room runs virtually the whole width of the property and has a very high, wood-lined vaulted ceiling with windows on both sides that increase the feeling of space and adds to the overall grandness of an already impressive room. Facing the doors is a wall of bi-folding glass doors ensuring that the panoramic views across the forested val-leys, the bay of Bophut and the island of Koh Pha Ngan are always visible and drawing your attention.
An eye-catching pedestal dining table sits like a piece of art in the cen-tre of the room. To the right is a sophisticated kitchen area with an is-land feature. All high-end branded appliances are fitted. This is an out-standing kitchen which not only looks fantastic, with light wood units, chrome fittings and marble surfaces, but it is also well planned and de-signed to include all you need; there's even a wine cooler sunken into the surface of the island feature.
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 comfort-able brown and white sofas and chairs as well as contemporary orna-ments and art works.
Running the entire width of the room is a balcony with an almost in-visible glass banister which looks over the garden, and the sizeable in-finity swimming pool, as well as the views to the ocean. On the bal-cony there are all-weather chairs from which you can sit and take it all in.
Stairs on both sides of the balcony lead down to the next level of the villa. Here, underneath the aforementioned living space, are three charming bedrooms facing out across the garden, pool and the views. A covered walkway runs along the front of these rooms giving each one an outdoor terrace.
Each of these three bedrooms has built-in wardrobes and a rear en-suite shower room with views out to the water feature and the intricate and beautiful natural stone wall running behind the property and up to the level above. All the rooms have king size double beds making this an ideal family or group villa. In each, the furniture is high-quality and stylish and the rooms are accessorised with stunning modern artworks.
In front of this bedroom level is a lawn and garden that is well planted with a large number of tropical trees and plants. At the very front of the property is the large blue tiled pool. At the left side of the pool there are stools sunken under the water along the edge of the bar which is incor-porated into a sala that also houses a dining table and bench seats.
To the right of the pool is the master suite. 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.
Malai villa is defined by absolute quality and luxury. Everything here is as good as it can be. The finish, the furniture and the layout are all perfectly planned to make staying here a practical, as well as an en-joyable experience. A full team of dedicated 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 Malai 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 Malai 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.
