SALA Samui Chaweng Beach Resort Oceanfront Presidential Pool Villa

SALA Samui Chaweng Beach Resort has unveiled its Oceanfront 2br Presidential Pool Villa, a 286 square metre (sqm) private beachfront masterpiece that’s available for exclusive guest stays, intimate weddings or special celebrations. The new luxury resort’s highest room category also features a 52 sqm private pool, steps from the sandy shores of north Chaweng beach, making it one of the largest private pools on offer within a resort on Koh Samui.

The infinity pool at the Oceanfront 2br Presidential Pool Villa runs the entire width of the 13.5-metre beach frontage and is framed by a 114 sqm wooden pool deck, shaded by two ancient banyan trees that keep the extensive outdoor lounge and al fresco dining areas naturally cool.

Full-length glass windows along the front of the villa can be drawn open to blur the distinction between outdoor and indoor living spaces. Curved archways subtly define the interior spaces, and draw references to the curvature of the full moon, a lunar muse that inspired many of the design elements applied around the resort. To follow this overall design thread, the designers handpicked all the lamps, sofa seats, bathtubs, and other decorative items.

A few steps up into the inner sanctum of the villa are two bright and airy bedrooms, each measuring a generous 25 sqm and featuring king-sized beds, walk-in wardrobe areas, and bathrooms with freestanding circular statement bathtubs.

The expansive 30 sqm master bathroom also comes with outdoor shower and bathtub options allowing guests to stay that much closer to the blue skies and sea breezes. As part of the SALA Signature Selections, guests can choose from a variety of scents for bath soaps, shampoos, conditioners, body lotions and pillow types to fine-tune their bespoke experience.

The open design and stunning setting of the Oceanfront 2br Presidential Pool Villa lend itself perfectly to intimate weddings and exclusive gatherings for up to 25 guests. Private events are fully catered by the resort, whether it’s a poolside BBQ birthday celebration in the afternoon or a sunset wedding cocktail reception and party on the expansive deck. To ensure ample time for event setup, the villa must be booked as part of the event reservation for a maximum of six overnight guests following the event. A dedicated event supervisor will work with guests to ensure every single detail of the function comes to life as desired.

The Oceanfront 2br Presidential Pool Villa is part of the phase one launch of SALA Samui Chaweng Beach Resort. The Oceanfront Wing comprises 52 pool villas and pool suites sized between 74 sqm and 304 sqm, featuring private pools between 18 sqm and 52 sqm in size. Just in time for summer, a beach bar will open at the resort in July to complement THE TENT Beachfront Restaurant.

The second phase of SALA Samui Chaweng Beach will be completed in 2019 and will comprise 83 rooms, pool villas and pool suites, as well as the SALA Spa and SALA Gym, a garden oasis swimming pool with inviting Garden Pool Bar, plus an open-air show kitchen with an exciting roadside restaurant and bar concept.
