Located on a beautiful white-sand beach on the unspoilt west coast of Samui, Baan Puri provides true luxury in a stylish and relaxing environment. Set in stunningly landscaped tropical gardens, Baan Puri, meaning "earth" in Thai, has been specifically designed to allow the villa to blend into its natural surroundings, with cedarwood shingles on the roof and traditional teak wood oversized doors and windows throughout. All doors slide fully back to blur the lines between indoor and garden living.

Entering this 6 bedroom villa through antique double doors, you pass under a fragrant flower-covered walkway to the sound of bubbling water from the koi pond and into the large main pavilion. Here you are first introduced to the skilful contrast between the natural design of the villa and contemporary living. In addition to the luxury western kitchen, large dining area, and comfortable seating around the electronic 2 metre screen and projector, one wall of this pavilion houses a full height 5 metre-wide glass and stainless steel refrigerated wine wall with a selection of fine wines and champagnes.

Moving on from this impressive room, you descend down attractive sandstone steps to a beautifully manicured lawn and a vision of the ocean across what must be one of the longest swimming pools in Samui at 30 metres.

Flanked by garden on three sides, the pool is complete with semi-submerged sun loungers and a seating bench at the infinity edge. Here you can also swim up to sunken bar stools attached to a pavilion just metres from the ocean and facing just the right way to get the best sunsets on the island. The pool also boasts a state-of-the-art Eco Smart system, allowing for swimming in chemical-free purified water, no more red eyes, dried or itchy skin or chemical smell.

The two master bedrooms each have four poster beds, their own terraces adjoining the pool and share a discrete landscaped courtyard. In addition to the en-suite bathrooms, both bedrooms have cleverly designed outdoor baths, which can be enclosed entirely within the indoor bathroom, or have their teak louvred doors slid open to give one-step direct access to the swimming pool.

Two further bedrooms above the main pavilion share a private terrace and both have well-designed en-suites with baths allowing stunning views across the pool to the ocean. The remaining two bedrooms have their own terraces and in addition to the en-suite bathrooms have their own attractively landscaped outdoor shower areas.

Each bedroom has air-conditioning, a 50" Plasma TV on remote controlled wall-mounting, DVD player, satellite TV and iPod connections. For real movie buffs, the villa is equipped with media streaming equipment, allowing movies for all tastes to be streamed to all TVs and screens in the villa. Music lovers in the pool, beach pavilion and living/dining areas will also have a 40,000 song multi-zone/room jukebox catering for all tastes.

Other features in the villa include a private landscaped massage area, a wooden hot tub nestled amongst the tropical flowers and shrubs and a large beachfront lawn with private steps down to the sandy shore.
