Hi At Home Villa 5

Hi At Home Villa 5 is a bright, modern five-bedroom pool villa in central Pattaya, with convenience stores, ATMs and medical services close by and the beach a short drive away. Its gated, two-storey house is decorated in soft cream and beige with light timber and elegant touches, and with five en-suite king bedrooms it is a stylish, practical base for families and groups of friends of up to ten.

The long private pool is the showpiece, running the length of the garden past a row of white-curtained salas with double daybeds. At one end a sunken swim-up counter with built-in stools lets you sit with a cold drink half in the water, and in the evening the whole space glows under the garden lights. A shaded terrace with sofas looks onto a lawn where children can play, and there is a brick barbecue in the garden.

Inside, a loft-style, air-conditioned living room with chandeliers and sliding glass doors opens onto the pool, and a long dining table with tufted chairs faces the garden. The kitchen is a highlight, with a breakfast island, indigo cabinetry, rustic wood shelving and a full set of appliances. All five bedrooms have king beds, several of them canopied, with TVs, air conditioning and stylish en-suite bathrooms, some with freestanding bathtubs. Housekeeping comes in daily.
