THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS

Enjoy the privacy of your own Samui villa and have full use of the many amenities at Coral Bay Resort on Koh Samui. Set on 10 acres of coconut palms and lush tropical gardens that slope gently down to a secluded bay on the northeast coast of the island, this well-established resort offers a unique blend of rustic luxury. The stunning Baan Chomjan Villa is located on one side of the resort, close enough for easy access to the beach, pool and restaurants yet totally self-contained for those desiring greater solitude.

Offering uninterrupted vistas over a secluded bay, the luxurious Baan Chomjan Villa is aptly named "moon-viewing house". The Thai word "jan" or moon also refers to the clusters of huge white moon flowers that climb the trellis in front of the spacious and ultra-private villa and bloom only in the late afternoon. Built of teak, local hardwoods, sandstone and slate, the villa embodies a simultaneously lavish yet earthy design, redolent of an island-style country residence.

Master bedroom

The 55m² master bedroom on the ground floor opens onto a spacious private terrace. With its ensuite bathroom, chaise lounge, a perfect hideaway within the villa. The room stays pleasantly cool either by using the air conditioner or, in the cooler seasons, by opening the sliding doors to let in the sea breezes. Upstairs, each of the two 32 m² bedrooms has a balcony, ensuite bathroom and a ceiling fan as well as air conditioner. All rooms have a refrigerator, mini bar, tea/coffee-making facilities and personal safe.

Living room

Ingeniously arrayed under a tall vaulted ceiling, the fully air conditioned open-plan living room, den and kitchen/dining area offer maximum space and function. The den has plenty of comfortable seating for reading or watching the 50" projection TV with its surround-sound speaker system. For those who prefer cooking at home, the European-style kitchen is fully equipped with all major appliances including a refrigerator, 4-burner stove and oven, microwave, toaster as well as utensils and cutlery.

The beautifully appointed Baan Chomjan villa is set apart in its own compound with private entrance and nighttime security. The rates are inclusive of breakfast and tax for up to six persons. An additional two people can be accommodated by converting the two day beds in the den into single beds. Those sleeping in the den can either share one of the upstairs ensuite bathrooms or use the guest toilet downstairs. Baan Chomjan villa residents also have full use of all hotel facilities.
