Suralai

Chic white and black leather sofas; an elegant Corian styled countertop island kitchen with stainless leather cushioned bar stools and sleek black cabinets; a simple wood topped dining table for entertaining up to 12; the latest all weather rattan furnishings with comfortable off-white trim – it is true to say feels highly sophisticated.

The quality of the finish is outstanding with a pleasant blend of natural woods mixed with sand washed walkways, easy grey walls and modern floor to ceiling folding doors. The attention to detail of the owners is exceptional from the Samsung theatre systems and Ipod players in 5 of the 6 ensuite bedrooms to the champagne buckets sunk into the countertops; from the WiFi’d Apple Mac to the raindrop showers; and from the 12” Sealy Posturepedic mattresses to the BOSS stereo zoned throughout the villa. These all pale into insignificance however when compared to the real highlight of the villa – the superb panorama. Set back in the hills above Bo Phut Village, Suralai offers stunning views over Bo Phut Bay to the island of Koh Phan Ngan, famous for its wild full moon parties. Whether it’s from the 20 metre infinity pool or from the terraces attached to each bedroom, the private gym or from the cathedral ceilinged lounge/dining room with its wide wrap around terrace – the view is magnificent. Of course the owners have incorporated glass walled balconies throughout so as not to impede your enjoyment of the rolling hills loaded with coconut palms and the blue waters beyond.

To help with your enjoyment and relaxation Suralai has 4 staff. The chef can turn out a wide selection of Thai and western dishes from the wet kitchen in the staff quarters (he also does the provisioning) and the villa manager doubles up as butler, guide and fix it man to sort out spa visits, elephant rides, and beach or boat trips - assuming of course you can tear yourself away from the villa and its captivating vistas.

Suralai is dominated by the main living pavilion, a two storey building dug into the side of the hill with spectacular views. The entrance is on the top floor where an electric gate slides open to give access to a car port. Stepping stones lead to the huge room which incorporates a casual seating area with leather sofas and a 50” home theatre screen; a guest kitchen fully equipped with top specification Siemens oven, microwave, coffee machine and fridge freezer that all hid away behind slick black cabinetry; and a dining table for 10. Floor to ceiling glass doors fold back on 3 sides onto a wide terrace letting the breezes drift through whilst fans in the vault ceiling turn lazily above. As a result there is little need for air conditioning.

On the ground floor are 3 identical queen bedrooms each with ensuite shower rooms and terraces with captivating views to be enjoyed from daybeds or chairs. All the rooms have Samsung theatre systems, satellite TV and IPod players.

An adjacent 3 storey pavilion houses the 3 remaining bedrooms – 2 master suites and a twin bedded room. Each bedroom in this pavilion has a polished stone washed bath, raindrop showers and views over the plantations. The master suites have queen beds, folding doors to generous terraces and full home theatre set up including 32” screen; whilst the twin room has satellite TV and steps down to a small garden. All 6 bedrooms are individually air conditioned, have great blackout curtains and look out onto the 20m pool which, at one end, has a Thai style bale (gazebo) with day beds and pool bar stools.

Under the swimming pool is a small well equipped gym, storage and laundry facilities whilst in a small pavilion by the entrance there are staff quarters and a wet kitchen where most of the food preparation is done by the chef.
