Fah Sai Villa 8 - Samsara

Featured in The Great Homes of the World section of The New York Times, Villa Fah Sai (meaning “majestic retreat overlooking a tranquil sea”) is an oceanfront home that evokes an idyllic balance between the contemporary grandeur of Frank Lloyd Wright and Thai-Japanese timelessness.

The front entrance welcomes you into a stretched living room with a view that seduces the eye over an onyx tiled reflecting pond into a stunning panoramic view of the Andaman Sea and Patong Bay.

Walking through the living room, you will pass a dining room that comfortably accommodates a dinner party of 10 and enter into a spacious contemporary kitchen equipped with restaurant quality appliances and a breakfast nook. The gourmet kitchen opens out onto a large terrace, ideal for casual dining and entertainment, and offers a spectacular, unobstructed 180º view of Patong Bay, its mountains and coastline.

The master suite is located off the living room and also incorporates the stunning ocean vista. It provides the guest with 1500 sq.ft. of luxurious privacy, replete with modern western comforts, including a spacious walk-in closet, private retreat and office.

The large double doors of the first level open onto an elegant veranda that welcomes the visitor to a floor that exudes an airy modern atmosphere with a junior master suite and three additional en-suite bedrooms, one of which may be converted into a spa. The floor also has a games room, fully equipped with an Xbox360, card table and treadmill. Each of these rooms opens onto an expansive travertine pool deck, the perfect place to congregate for sunset cocktails or midnight dips in the fresh water pool.

The villa is serviced by a full time, live-in staff consisting of one cook and one housekeeper. Trained to anticipate your needs, they’ll look after you with an infectious blend of Thai graciousness and charm. The estate’s manager and front office team complement the villa’s permanent staff, and are available to provide an unmatched level of truly personal service throughout your stay.

Fah Sai is one of a select handful of private residences located within the Samsara Estate. Few – if any – private enclaves in the world match the unsurpassed luxury and privacy of Samsara. Straddling a secluded peninsula, it is a stunning juxtaposition of rocky shoreline, tropical gardens, and calming blue waters. Perched dramatically between 40 to 60 meters above sea level, these oceanfront villas offer spectacular panoramic views to the west and north over the Andaman Sea and Nakalay beach and to the south across Patong Bay.

• The Samsara Estate is patrolled 24 hours per day by a 3-man security team
• The Estate has a backup generator which kicks in automatically in case of a local power outage
• The on-site villa manager’s office has a fax machine available to all guests

Guests are encouraged to use nearby professional laundry and dry cleaning services at cost plus VAT and delivery charge.
