The large patio area stretches around the entire villa, meaning that you will always find shade, no matter the time of day. Moving inside, we find a villa which has been decorated in a rustic manner, rattan weave and russet is the order of the day here. Think Spanish hacienda meets Thai style openness, simple and stylish, as well as entirely practical.

The living room and dining area are both comfortable and cool, with plenty of seating in the lounge, which exploits the proximity of the entertainment system. The superbly equipped kitchen sits unobtrusively towards the back of the ground floor. Upstairs, we find four bedrooms all with access to large en-suite wet rooms. The beach is close by, along with all other major local attractions and major superstores.
