High on the paradisal island of Koh Samui in the Gulf of Thailand abides Baan Sang, or Villa of Light.
A hillside aerie nestled within coconut palms, Baan Sang offers utmost privacy and comfort, with huge windows and walls of glass providing CinemaScope-worthy views of mountains, valleys, and cerulean seas.
There are five large bedrooms with sweeping sea vistas, four full bathrooms, and a sleek, contemporary kitchen, all air-conditioned and luxuriously fitted and finished.
This style of contemporary Thai coastal architecture takes inspiration from the colors, textures, and materials of the island: beach stone, granite, bleached Thai teak, and hand-cast bronze, as well as Sukabumi (a mosaic-like azure stone for the infinity-edge pool) are among the exquisite finishes.
The villa is one of just two homes in the Five Islands Estate, an exclusive gated and private sanctuary on the west coast of the island. The other villa, Baan Hin, is available as well, along with additional infrastructure and land.
