Mountainside Villa with Ocean View in Samui

This mountainside villa has been meticulously designed to harmonize with its natural surroundings, maximizing the breathtaking views and ensuring seamless integration with the landscape. The structure is tiered, capitalizing on the elevation and offering air gaps between different functional areas and levels, enhancing ventilation and flow. Green roofs and significant plantings help the property blend into the environment, while the eclectic design reflects a fusion of Middle Eastern and Thai influences, two cultures known for their warmth and hospitality. The villa embodies a balance between contemporary architecture and traditional craftsmanship, featuring modern construction alongside handmade furniture. A significant portion of the exterior showcases locally sourced stone cladding, chosen not only for its aesthetic appeal but also for its longevity and ability to age gracefully in place. This focus on sustainability extends throughout the property, with an emphasis on using durable materials to reduce long-term environmental impact. Rather than outsourcing sustainability, the owner carefully manages consumption and resources on-site, including water supply sourced from an artisanal well. A dedicated area for growing fruits and vegetables further supports the property's self-sufficiency and practical approach to sustainability. The villa has been designed to feel as though it has always been part of the hillside, with the materials, color palette, and plantings all contributing to a sense of organic belonging. The carefully chosen materials and thoughtful landscaping are expected to maintain the villa’s external appearance over an extended period. In terms of guest experience, the villa offers every amenity one would expect from a luxury resort. A fully stocked gym, a private cinema complete with a popcorn machine, and a multi-purpose game room with Moroccan design elements provide a variety of entertainment options. The 1,000-bottle wine cellar, with space for casual meals, card games, or intimate conversations, adds a further layer of indulgence. Additionally, the full spa, complete with a steam room, massage areas, and a natural rock Jacuzzi pool, creates a true oasis within the home. Flexibility and comfort were key considerations during the design process. Multi-purpose rooms can be easily adapted to suit guests’ needs, ensuring that the villa remains a versatile space that can respond to changing trends or personal preferences. This combination of practical luxury, classical aesthetics, and thoughtful touches ensures that guests can experience comfort, relaxation, and joy during their stay, whether they choose to explore the surroundings or simply nest within the villa.
