Villa Samira

A contemporary variation on classic Thai themes, this villa maxes out its panoramic views of the Bay of Bengal. A wide open great room is entirely alfresco, with a reflection pond in the center flanked by stepping stones and staircases above. Rest a cool drink on the ledge of your oversized jacuzzi or dip in the 19-meter infinity pool and take it all in. Quiet Kamala Beach is just a 4-mile drive.
