Baan Tom Talay is a beautiful villa set in a large 1600sqm plot in one of the best locations on Koh Samui.
The villa is perched on a peninsula providing spectacular views in every direction - the two beautiful beaches of Tongson Bay to the east and Samrong Bay to the west, towards the Angthong National Marine Park over which spectacular sunsets are guaranteed, and a picture postcard view of Koh Phangnan island to the north.
With an elevated position, yet no big hill to climb, Baan Lom Talay is easily accessible to the amenities and attractions that Koh Samui has to offer. The beautiful and popular Cheong Mon beach just 5 minutes away, the oceanside restaurants and quaint shops of the old fisherman's village at Bophut are just 10 minutes drive and the lively night life of Chaweng 15 minutes drive away.
Situated on the edge of a small security gated community, the villa offers privacy away from the big tourist crowds but is nevertheless only a short journey by car to some of the most beautiful beaches of the island which lie to the South and West of the house. Here you will find several romantic beachside restaurants to sample during your stay.
The villa is approached via a private driveway through the landscaped gardens to a carport. Steps lead up to the main west facing terrace which is furnished with a dining table with seating for 6 persons and 2 rattan day beds. The terrace is bordered with a lotus pond incorporating tropical water plants – a perfect place to relax at night watching the sun go down over the National Marine Park and see the twinkling lights of all the beachside dining establishments dotted along the island's north coast.
The terrace continues around the house offering stunning views of Koh Phangnan to the north and the east terrace is furnished with relaxing patio furniture making it a perfect place for early risers to have breakfast whilst watching the sunrise.
Inside the villa the western style kitchen is centrally located for access to all the terraces and is fully equipped to include an oven, hob, coffee maker, microwave and fridge freezer.
The living area is separated from the kitchen by a breakfast bar and has glass walls on 3 sides and cool tiled floors. The room is traditionally furnished with Thai style furniture including two teak sofas and a coffee table, a Persian rug and other Thai soft furnishings. The room also has a DVD player with a library of 15 DVD's, board games, a chess computer and a selection of reading books for your indoor entertainment.
Three of the air conditioned bedrooms (two with ensuite bathrooms) are located in the main living floor of the house and have polished wood floors and 4 poster beds dressed with mosquito nets. The two main bedrooms facing east and west have sliding patio doors leading on to a private terrace. The third bedroom has a south facing window overlooking the garden. The bathrooms are fully tiled and have wet shower rooms. The fourth bedroom is located at garden level off the carport area and has it's own ensuite bathroom.
Outside steps lead down from the villa into the tropical garden and the large swimming pool which has a non slip tiled surround furnished with teak sun loungers for your relaxation. To one side of the pool is a cool sala with teak seating one of many 'perfect spots' you will find around the villa.
Ban Lom Talay is a perfect holiday villa for 3 couples or a family with older children, and can also provide that perfect romantic retreat for a honeymoon couple. It offers very good value for such a stunning property.
Please note that as there is a lotus pond adjoining the terrace, steps down to the garden, and some high unsecured retaining walls there can be a possible danger for children, especially young children, and they cannot stay unattended on the terrace or in the garden. Therefore we advise families with young children to clearly consider these factors when booking this villa
