Villa Sip Et (B)

Samujana Villa 11B is a stacked, contemporary home perched high on the hillside above Choeng Mon, with planted roofs, stone walls and a view that looks down over the treetops to the beach and out across the bay. Clean white spaces, dark slate and pops of red give it a crisp, gallery-like feel. With three king bedrooms it suits a small group of friends or a family who want a stylish, easy-to-run villa with a big view.

The fourteen-metre infinity pool is the star, its edge melting into the sea and hills beyond, with a timber deck and loungers along one side. At dusk the water glows green under the pool lights while the sky turns violet over the coast. Higher up, a rooftop terrace with its own patch of lawn and a row of high stools catches the breeze, and it is the perfect spot to watch the sun go down. A barbecue makes it easy to cook outside on warm evenings.

Inside, the open-plan living room, dining table and sleek kitchen with an island all open to the garden and the view. A separate TV lounge with shelves of books and a big screen is the place for lazy afternoons and film nights. The three bedrooms each have a king bed, deluxe linens and an en-suite bathroom, some with ocean views, and one bathroom has a deep tub set in its own small courtyard of greenery.
