If ever a villa was designed to provide the ultimate in family holiday accommodation, then Baan Duanchai is it. The garden is almost entirely given over to a large pool, featuring several subtly artistic fountains at one end. Closer to the villa entrance, the pool incorporates an integral children’s pool. Sun loungers line the pool, tucked underneath shading flowering scented trees.

Inside, the decor is practical yet stylish, perfect for those holidaymakers with boisterous young ones, hard wearing yet attractive. Upstairs, three of the four bedrooms have en-suite wet-room style bathrooms, large and well appointed.

For those families with an independent minded teenager along, the villa includes a separate annex, comprising of a self-contained room with bathroom facilities, which fronts an outside gaming area, complete with pool table. Constructed as part of the Viewpoint community project, this holiday property is a minutes from all major amenities, including the beach.
