Bangkok Paradise

WORDS Vanessa McCulloch


Looking for a permanent luxury getaway? This 6 400m2 private Thai resort villa may be just the spot.

Ever longed for that resort-style experience where you’re the only guest? The design of this residential property was inspired by the renowned Amanpuri Resort in Phuket, Thailand – it’s five-star luxury that you don’t have to share with anybody – unless, of course, they’re invited.

An oasis of relaxation, the property is only a 25-minute drive from the bustle of Bangkok. Spread out across 6 400m2 of land, this home consists of two elevated Thai villas, a clubhouse, a Thai sala (open pavilion) and an enormous swimming pool.

The main villa has two bedroom wings with private bathrooms and dressing rooms, an open living room with a bar, kitchen and sunken dining room. The family villa offers five bedrooms, three bathrooms, as well as all the trimmings.

What makes this property so appealing is a meeting of traditional style with contemporary finishes for an incredible luxury experience. Classical hand-crafted columns, doors and teak gables show off the very best in Thai craftsmanship, which is beautifully counterbalanced by modern, western interiors.

Amanpuri is a Sanskrit word meaning ‘place of peace’ – think of this property as Amanpuri’s younger sibling. Wander around the beautifully landscaped gardens (designed by renowned architect Bill Bensley) among the coconut palms, tranquil ponds and brass sculptures, with the gentle sound of running water in the background. And yes, you can expect an immediate sense of calm…
