Luxury Baan Hansa @ The Intercontinental

Experience blissful seclusion with access to world-class amenities at this 5-bedroom Koh Samui villa. Nestled within the grounds of the 5-star Intercontinental Hotel, you'll have access to incredible amenities, including pools, restaurants, beach activities, and hotel buggy service to the beach and kids' club. An in-house chef adds to the luxury.

Enjoy jaw-dropping sunsets and views over the Five Islands - as described in the New York Times "1,000 Things to See Before You Die".

Description

Tucked away amid tropical gardens full of fragrant frangipani trees, this 5-bedroom villa feels like its own hidden retreat. After checking in at the hotel lobby, the resort buggy will deliver you to your front door. Kick up your feet and enjoy the sun as you're whisked to this private sanctuary.

The entrance to the villa opens into an airy, open living, dining and kitchen area. Here, cloud white walls soar to meet a vaulted ceiling and spectacular skylight. Slip off your shoes and feel the cool of hardwood floors beneath your feet. The beachy vibe here instantly invites a laid-back, holiday mood.

Two separate lounges each feature inviting cushioned furnishings. Nibble snacks and sip chilled drinks in front of the flat screen TV. Or grab a novel from the book-filled shelf.

A chic, all-white kitchen offers all the essentials for easy meal prep. In the mornings, fire up the cappuccino machine, then dig into breakfast pancakes around the six-person dining table.

Chances are you'll want to spend most of your time on the villa's tropical deck. Swaying palms and ocean views sit before a plush seating area, and a teak dining table seats six. It's the ultimate backdrop for al fresco dining - expertly cooked by your private chef.

While the kids play indoors, uncork a bottle of wine in time for Instagram-worthy sunsets over the Five Islands - an absolute highlight of a stay here.

The mood is mellow in each of the villa's five bedrooms. A floor beneath the main living area has two bedrooms with dreamy coastal views. One of the bedrooms has a sumptuous king bed, a Juliet balcony, and a flat screen TV with DVD and satellite. The second bedroom on this level has two comfy twin beds.

The floor below has another two bedrooms (one with a king bed and another with a twin), and more fabulous ocean views. The bedrooms are linked by an interconnecting door, so the adults can check on the kids during their holiday slumber parties.

On the main floor, open your eyes to hillside views in a fifth bedroom with a king bed, and a flat screen TV with DVD and satellite. From here, a wooden ladder leads up to a mezzanine sleeping area (suitable for children aged 6 and above). Little ones will love having this cozy retreat to themselves, with two single mattresses to camp out in.

Each of the main bedrooms also come with their own en-suite bathroom.
