The main villa, which sleeps up to 8 in three en-suite bedrooms, has a surface area of 340sqm; together with the smaller guest bungalow, which accommodates a couple, they occupy a walled garden of 1600sqm with its own swimming pool. Secondly, it is for your exclusive use: no other guests are present to bother you, or take your place at the poolside.

Amenities are above and beyond those found in most hotels: an air-conditioned TV room, with satellite channels, DVD player and movies; an Apple i-Mac computer with ADSL internet connection, plus a wireless network that allows you to use your laptop anywhere on the premises; a fully-equipped kitchen (to prepare the fresh fish caught on the day's fishing trip?); an outdoor jacuzzi; plus a huge lounge, dining room and terrace where you can relax.

The villa's interior is a combination of Mediterranean and Thai chic: exposed brick walls and terracotta tiles give a rustic feel, while the high quality wood, bamboo and fabric furnishings are pure luxury. All bedrooms are air-conditioned; the kitchen and lounge are open plan and open air.

The property is protected by a high wall and 15-hour security and is cleaned on a daily basis. Staff are also available to cook and give massage and beauty treatments in-house, on request. There is also ample room for parking - and car or motorbike rental will be essential if you are staying in Baan Oriental: the one downside is that it is around 3km from the beach area. This additional cost should be factored into your holiday budget.

The location can be a plus, however, if you don't mind the driving: the area is quiet and residential and close to local shops and markets (if you are planning to cook yourself). Baan Oriental offers discounted rates if you request a vehicle at the time of booking on our reservation form.
