Villa Arcadia

Villa Arcadia Koh Samui Thailand
10 adults and 2 kids (5 ensuite bedrooms all with king-size beds: 1 master bedroom; 4 guest bedrooms).
In true James Bond-style, this very private villa is accessed from a thatched parking area and a flight of steps, or via an elevator. You arrive as if by magic onto a level terrace, surrounded by mature tropical trees, with a 21.3-metre infinity pool and large lawned area to your right, the main living areas to your left and a perfect, uninterrupted ocean view straight ahead. You will instantly feel at ease as the tranquil environment envelopes you. Welcome to luxury island living at its very best, the highlight of which are mesmerising kaleidoscopic sunsets, viewable from every area of this lavishly appointed villa.

Go ahead and explore the clean, white-themed, luxurious and contemporary living spaces, modern entertainment systems, antique Asian artefacts, relics and artwork throughout, and the five sumptuous bedrooms, where even the bathrooms have decadent sea views! Arcadia has a certain elegance about it, reminiscent of a perfectly coiffed Audrey Hepburn. An ideal abode for writers, artists and nature lovers, it is perfect for a family or a group of friends with a keen eye for beauty.

The villa is within easy reach of a number of sought-after restaurants, wellness centres, waterfalls and cultural attractions. Staff can organise a taxi or rental car with or without a driver for you to explore the island. If you must, that is. With complimentary breakfast and a private chef available to prepare and serve delicious home-cooked Asian or western meals to order, there is little reason for you to leave. Your stay at Arcadia is certain to leave you feeling rested and recharged, however you decide to spend your time here.

DINING

Food plays an important part in any holiday experience. Your private chef will ensure that your kitchen is fully stocked with your favourite items as well as create memorable meals for your entire group. At breakfast, expect freshly prepared eggs and other morning favourites such as a fantastic selection of fresh fruits, juices, cereals and yoghurt.

For lunch on the terrace or in the poolside sala, choose from the menu and enjoy a refreshing Thai salad such as Som Tam (green papaya salad) or Yum Woon Sun (glass noodles) served with grilled seafood or satays. Follow this up with a local speciality such as Pad Thai (Thai noodles). In the evening, the chef will surprise you with a delicious Thai or western dinner, served alfresco under the stars.

For a relaxed and bespoke dining experience, your villa staff can arrange a lavish barbecue down by the seashore or on your pool terrace.

Groceries and beverages are charged at market price plus 20% handling fee and 7% government tax with a minimum shopping fee of THB 750. Villa staff will take care of all the shopping and keep receipts for reference.

SPA

Thailand's famous massages and pampering beauty treatments delivered by professional therapists can be arranged by your villa staff and enjoyed in the comfort of your villa.

Poolside salas provide a sublime, shaded spot to enjoy a massage, cooled by sea breeze and soothed by the sound of the breaking surf. Or lie back, relax and let the stresses of modern life float away as you are pampered with a treatment in the privacy of your own room or terrace.

Location
Cape Laem Sor Estate is situated at one of Koh Samui's most beautiful spots, at the south-west tip of the island overlooking the idyllic palm-fringed bay of Laem Sor and its outlying islands of Koh Tan and Koh Mad Sum. A relaxed 45-minute drive through the vibrant urban areas of Chaweng and Lamai brings you to the south coast, dotted with coconut and rubber plantations.

The setting is peaceful and mesmerising. The estate's hillside position allows it to enjoy views across the Gulf of Siam towards myriad outlying islands and even the Thai mainland.
