Villa Yin-Noi

Villa Yin Noi is the intimate little sister of Villa Yin and Villa Yang, tucked into the same green headland above Kamala with the Andaman Sea spread out below. It shares their bold, gallery-like style in a smaller, cosier package: glossy black floors, high ceilings, vivid modern artwork and flashes of lacquer red, with floor-to-ceiling glass keeping the jungle and the sea in view. It is a stylish hideaway for a couple, two friends or a small family.

The saltwater pool runs along the main living space beneath a timber-lined roof, so you can swim in the shade by day and under warm lighting at night, with the open sea just beyond the railing. Loungers line the covered terrace facing the water, and sculptural red chairs make the perfect perch for sunset. Inside, a round dining table sits beside the glass doors overlooking the pool, next to a compact, streamlined kitchen with built-in appliances for breakfasts and light meals.

The master bedroom is the showpiece, with a low platform bed dressed in red, sculptural seating, a dressing area and big windows framing the sea. The second bedroom is lighter and more relaxed, with a double bed and a striking colourful artwork. Breakfast and a return airport transfer are included, a villa manager and housekeeping look after the details, and Kamala Beach is around two and a half kilometres away.
