Alleviate any stresses and relax the body in this luxurious retreat. Surrounded by lush vegetation, the pretty villa gleams with tranquility – the only sound you'll hear is the gentle breeze flowing through the leaves.

Start your mornings in the idyllic outdoor area, shaped by the long, narrow pool gliding through the villa. It's a unique layout that gives the vibe of a hotel resort that's reserved just for you.

Fresh greenery decorates the outside of the pool and two sun beds face the water. Behind the sun beds, a contemporary outdoor kitchen is hidden under the veranda, accompanied by a deluxe wooden table.

Try your hand at rustling up some local dishes, such as pad Thai or Thai green curry, and enjoying each bite on the outside table. If you don't fancy testing your cooking skills just yet, utilise the convenience of the BBQ and pizza oven for more familiar food.

Of course, you don't have to eat at the villa at all if you don't want to. Your apartment is nearby to trendy bakeries, authentic restaurants and cosy coffee shops for tasty treats.
