Dainty white gerbera flowers carefully laid along the walkways, introduce guests to the villa’s grand entrance hall with its glass floor and soaring roof. Huge floor-to-ceiling windows across the villa’s frontage deliver spectacular ocean views and the 22 x 5m infinity swimming pool draws eyes to the horizon, where the Andaman Sea wraps around Surin and Bang Tao Bay.

The spacious main floor comprises a lounge and dining room that both open widely to a large, split-level sun terrace where loungers, neatly arranged seating and a shaded pool sala invite guests to soak up the sun and relax. Comfortable sofas paint a tranquil atmosphere in the living room, enhanced by aged timber sculptures and stylish wood furniture.

All bedrooms at Chan Grajang face the ocean and most have a furnished terrace. Ensuite bathrooms are notably extravagant in their size and style. The grand master suite takes pride of place on the villa’s uppermost level, while a pair of guest bedrooms lie one above the other in a pavilion to the side of the main villa. A fourth bedroom is tucked below the pool alongside the gym and media room, all facing the villa’s immaculate three-hole putting green. To the rear, the games room is decorated with old movie posters, stocked with classic board games and equipped with a snooker table and bar.

Smaller groups wishing to experience the exclusivity of Villa Chan Grajang may opt to hire only the four-bedroomed main villa, but for larger groups the addition of the two-bedroomed guest villa, which includes a kitchenette, living room and private plunge pool, allows for groups of up to 12 guests.

In-villa spa treatments can be arranged for guests at additional cost, with therapists from recommended local spas.
