You may feel as though you are on top of the world as Ban Tawan (sunset house) has stunning views looking out over Maenam beach and beyond to the neighboring island of Koh Phanan.
Entering through the automatic electronic gate takes you into the beautiful garden area featuring a private infinity swimming pool with ample space for relaxing and taking in the sunshine.
This relaxing and comfortable 3 bedroom house is warmly decorated and has cozy feel like home away from home. Each of the three bedrooms is colour themed with tasteful paintings and traditional Thai ornaments fused with Western style furnishings.
The master bedroom features en-suite bathroom and a bathtub looking out over the lush green mountains with the ocean in the distance, the perfect place to relax and unwind. An outdoor shower brings a further tropical feel to the guests
The two upstairs bedrooms, one double and one twin, share a bathroom and have individual toilet and shower and toilet facilities, stylishly designed with clever use of space. All rooms have a fresh and airy feel, along with great views through the large windows out across the island.
You would be spoilt for choice as to where to spend your days relaxing, as all rooms on the top floor are designed with ample decking areas, including a private large deck for the double bedroom, and sun loungers, so whether it be sun or shade the choice is yours.
The dining room features a long dining table with stylish rattan chairs with seating for 8, along with a similar styled living room area, a chance to kick back after dinner. This area is adjoined by a fully fitted Western style kitchen, so whether it's dinner cooked by your own Thai chef, or yourself, it is just another feature of this wonderful house that will make you feel completely at home.
Crossing over a small walkway takes you to seating beneath the Thai style Sala, where you can enjoy sunset or sunrise; breakfast, lunch or dinner with 180 degree views of the surrounding island.
Alternatively you could choose to grab some shade under the second Sala situated next to the pool, a great place to enjoy a cool drink and relax when the day starts to heat up.
Ban Tawan is the perfect retreat for families, couples and friends alike, as it is designed and furnished along with space, and plenty of it, in mind.
