The Emerald Beach Villa 2, Koh Samui, Thailand

If you are looking for a serene, beachfront experience then you will find it here at Emerald Beach Villa 2, one of a trio of stunning properties perfectly located in Laem Noi on the North West shore of tropical Koh Samui.
Sitting right on the beach, Emerald Beach Villa 2 has a stunning design that is a blend of contemporary architecture with a traditional Thai influence. With stunning views over to the Ang Thong Marine Park, this villa offers peace and serenity for up to six guests. The villa is made up of two pavilions, the living area, that is housed in a traditional wooden pavilion, and the sleeping area that is housed in a more contemporary glass pavilion.
The garden of the villa comprises an expansive grassy area, as well as tropical gardens, a private infinity edge pool and uninterrupted ocean views. Next to the pool lies a wooden sun deck complete with comfortable sun loungers, which provide the ideal place to take in the views and the sunset.
The modern sleeping area has large glass doors that allow you to create a tropical indoor/outdoor living area. The upper floor is accessed by a long, wooden, staircase. Here you will find stylishly decorated bedrooms with king size beds and both contemporary, and traditional, pieces of art. The en-suite bathrooms have been created with eye-catching designs such as beaten silver lined basins and large sunken bath tubs, the ultimate indulgence. The sleeping area is also home to TV rooms that have comfortable furnishings set in comfortable surroundings.
The living and dining pavilion has a more traditional feel, with dark wood, and natural, materials. The dining area ceiling to floor windows open up allowing you to dine with pool and ocean views while enjoying the soft sea breeze. The living area has high vaulted ceilings, comfortable natural tone chairs with bright cushions as well as ocean and pool views.
The thoughtful villa lighting comes into its own during the evening and provides the ultimate contrast against the lush, tropical, mountainous backdrop.
This Samui villa is only twenty-five minutes away from the airport and Chaweng beach, the heart of Koh Samui's nightlife and entertainment. The summer tide phenomenon means that at times the sea retracts itself up to one hundred meters in front of the villa opening up the reef and the beach to activities such as football, volley ball and rock pool exploration.
This stunning and unique home from home in paradise benefits from resident villa staff who will ensure it is kept tidy and clean, direct beach access, free WiFi throughout and a day bed in the living room that can be used as an alternative bedrooms with en-suite bathroom.

Your Holiday Home in Cape Town - City Slicker or Beach Bum Heaven?

Wouldn't it be nice to have a holiday home in Cape Town where you will feel relaxed, settled, that could be a real home from home experience? You would want a place where you can be free to be yourself, to eat what you want, do what you want whenever you please. And you don't want to settle for less either! It should also have a superb ambiance and outlook.
To choose the right holiday home in Cape Town, you can start off by selecting the location that you think will best suit your ideal vacation. Ask yourself whether you would want to stay in a place that is near the beach so that you can smell the salty air as you step out onto your balcony to hear the crashing of the waves or would you rather stay in a more tranquil setting, perhaps the vineyards of Constantia?
Far below the Twelve Apostles Mountains, clinging to the cliff-side above the beach, the suburbs of Camps Bay and Clifton offer a wide array of Cape Town accommodation. Considered one of the most up-market areas to holiday in, your holiday home in Cape Town will be sophisticated and elegant.
If being in the heart of the city is more your idea of heaven, then look no further than The Waterfront. Apartments that combine the gracefulness of those in Camps Bay along with the magnificence of being part of the hustle & bustle of South Africa's top tourist destination means that a short walk from your front door will have you dining in splendour.
A twenty-minute ride from the centre of Cape Town brings you to the lovely seaside town of Hout Bay for a real get away from city life. Originally, Hout Bay was a small fishing village, but over the years has blossomed into the delightful town it is today. The lobsters and fish are still landed on the quayside and a stroll in the warm sunshine to pick out fresh fish for your barbecue, or braai as the locals call it, supper that night, is one of the best pastimes!
Of course, if cooking it yourself seems too much like hard work, then Mariner's Wharf is the perfect place to enjoy the fisherman's catch of the day, while you sip a chilled white wine from the local vineyards.
No matter what you are looking for in a holiday home in Cape Town, whether it's city life or the peace that you get from country life, I'm quite certain that you will be able to find a beautiful home that passes the highest standards.
As locals, we have a vast experience of our city and will be honoured to assist you in your quest to find the best holiday home in Cape Town that suits your vacation. We invite you to contact us today to discover that special accommodation that's just right for you!
