"Simplicity of design and dominating views of Bophut"

Ban Khao provides a sophisticated tropical retreat with a blend of modern & traditional design that exudes simplicity and natural design.

Nestled on a secluded hilltop amidst stunning tropical scenery and breath taking views of Koh Phangan, Ban Khao offers a peaceful sanctuary to unwind and relax.

The large infinity pool provides the perfect setting for taking in the stunning 260-degree views and includes a "pool safety system", imported from the US; to give families added peace of mind.  3 large patios with a double daybed, 4 sun beds and a large outdoor table for outdoor dining or a romantic candlelight dinner, surround the pool area.

The private walled garden features and extensive 1600sq meter lawn which is ideal for families with small children.

The villa itself has a covered verandah that runs along the reception room to the second private verandah of the master bedroom. The villa has a very 'home away' from home feeling and is warmly decorated with traditional Thai furniture, ornaments & paintings that are fused with modern western style furnishings.

The main open plan living area is very light and airy, the space houses a 'zen' like dining table seating 8 and a comfortable sofa, coffee table & Thai handcrafted lamps, paintings & statues.

The modern kitchen is fully equipped and separated from the living area by an elegant polished black stone breakfast bar counter with bar stools.

The master bedroom suite is located off the reception, with direct access to the pool. The room is comfortably furnished with a king size bed, large day bed & a generous sized dressing room with built in wardrobes. The large marble bathroom also offers a Jacuzzi tub & shower.

An open staircase leads off the reception to two large double bedrooms, one with twin beds and the other with a king size bed. These bedrooms share an interconnected bathroom with twin wash basins, a sunken mosaic tub & separate shower. Both bedrooms have stunning views over Bophut & Big Buddha Bays.

A daily continental breakfast is included free in the rental OR, upon special request, we can also provide a full English Breakfast at a small nominal fee!
