Villa Gan Thailand

Villa Gan is a serene and classy idyll, offering chic and timeless accommodation blending quintessential Thai influences along with über contemporary touches, set within a palm tree-dotted hillside overlooking the sparkling Gulf of Thailand. With views of the ocean, this pristine dwelling is just moments from a sugar-white beach, within one of the most exciting parts of Thailand. Blending the best of both worlds, this sumptuous home offers tranquil seclusion and privacy, surrounded by the fragrances of tropical jungle life, along with resort convenience and amenities (restaurants, kids club and access to world-class pampering.) The elegant façade at Villa Gan offers a nod to local style architectural design, with a pavilion-style execution, layered roofs, pillared front and use of local timber, whilst the interiors are a sophisticated and sultry world of flawless quality and understated luxury. No detail is left under-thought, and these airy, gracious proportions offer high ceilings, billowing curtains framing the floor to ceiling glass and the natural interplay between indoor and outdoor living. With an Art Deco monochrome style palette, there is a distinctly Eastern feel along with hotel-grade luxury. With the bedroom at the centre, featuring a sedate writing desk, and striking gold and granite-toned centrepiece artwork, charcoal toned silks and crisp quality bed linen along with soft lighting and dark gloss timbers, guests will enter a world of style and rejuvenation.  The living space offers creamy fabrics, a long and elegant banquette style sofa and dazzling natural light. Executed with simplicity and verve, this sumptuous home, along with its characteristic dark timbers, recessed ceilings and plush fabrics is ideal for those who wish to escape the crowds, within an effortless environment of both escape and convenience. Wandering out onto the decking, or slipping into the alluring infinity pool after a busy day, sight-seeing will be about as good as it gets. With chic glass balustrades, built-in indulgent day beds and nightly sun-set views, this elegant home offers something rather special. Understated luxury executed at its finest, Villa Gan provides a haven of serenity as well as a one-ness with nature, offering an impeccably styled memory-making setting.Koh Samui, formerly a modest fishing village, despite its resort overhaul, retains a laid back air of ‘beachy’ Thai ease, offering azure sparkling waters and pristine sugar-white beaches. Thailand’s third biggest island is set on the Gulf of Thailand, about 35 km north of Surat Thani Town, off the east coast of the Kra Isthmus. With an abundance of natural beauty, when guests have tired of pampering within the resort, the outdoors beckons alluringly. Whether it be renting a scooter to explore the beaches that this region is famous for, or exploring the unspoilt islands of Ang Thong National Park or the Fishermen’s Village night market in Bo Phut, this island will offer an intriguing blend of tourist hotspots and local life. Whether it be golf, snorkelling or adrenaline-pumping water parks, this region is rich with opportunity. Samui Canopy Adventure is a thrilling chance to discover Samui’s rainforest by gliding on zip-lines from tree to tree.  For adventurers, a scooter or motorbike may be preferable to a car – traffic can be heavy. Stopping by for some coconut water and exploring the waterfalls of Tan Rua Waterfall or Hin Lat Waterfall and finishing up with a visit to an elephant park will be a fabulous day out.  A visit to the 12 meters seated Buddha statue at the Wat Phra Yai Ko Fan Temple will offer an intriguing insight into the local religious culture; a beautiful setting with wonderful views, whilst the immense statue perches at the top of the temple. An early morning visit would entail the offering trial and morning chanting. Chaweng offers buzzing nightlife – Koh Samui’s busiest and biggest town has sprung up around one of the island’s best beaches. From cocktail bars to world-class restaurants, the famous Green Mango strip is 3 kilometres long, offering eclectic, colourful local life in abundance.
