With its superb beachfront setting just a 30-minute drive from Phuket airport, ECP 0005 is a vibrant villa providing a modern, tranquil haven for families or groups. Each of the four ensuite bedrooms is a luxurious retreat with sea or garden views. The endless sands of Natai Beach are just steps away, while the villa’s 15-metre pool, well-equipped kitchen, bright living areas and koi-pond gardens offer the epitome of easy-going yet stylish tropical beach living. The villa is staffed with a full-time housekeeper who also prepares your complimentary daily breakfast; a villa manager is always on call, and a private chef can be arranged to cook tempting Thai and western fare.
The villa’s fresh, bright design sets a calming mood throughout, with crisp grey and white furnishings in soft fabrics and Buddhist themed décor accents. The villa’s single-storey pavilions and lush palm-lined gardens form a presence of unobtrusive luxury, fronted by a 15-metre swimming pool and the endless blue of sea and sky that give the villa its name.
The property comprises two single-storey pavilions set on a rectangular plot that extends between a quiet road and the beach. Entering from the parking area you first arrive at the Garden Pavilion housing two of the villa’s bedrooms; a covered corridor between the bedrooms leads to a tropical walled garden and koi pond. Steps through the garden bring you to the Sea View pavilion, containing two more bedrooms, the kitchen, living and dining areas. At the front of this pavilion is a furnished terrace overlooking the pool and beach.
The living area is an inviting place to gather, with floor-to-ceiling glass doors that open to the terrace and pool. This air-conditioned space has a calming ambiance with grey sofas and chairs in soft fabrics arranged to face the large flat-screen TV. Satellite and internet cable service, a DVD player and Bluetooth speaker make it easy to set the mood with movies or music. The living area can be completely opened up at the front to connect it to the terrace and the cooling sea breezes. Just behind is a dining room with sea views and a table for four. The adjacent kitchen is well equipped with modern appliances and plenty of workspace on the black granite counters.
No matter where you choose to relax, the soothing sounds of the ocean will form your playlist. Stretching between the villa and beach is the 15-metre pool framed by sand-wash decking and with an outdoor shower. At the front of the living pavilion is a fan-cooled covered terrace furnished with a dining table and sofa, the perfect spot for sundowners or a sea-breezy breakfast. A small Eden of a garden with a koi pond surrounded by palms and tropical plants creates a lush courtyard space between the villa’s two pavilions. At the gated entrance is a car park with space for two vehicles.
All four bedrooms are spacious, bright and generously furnished. All have ensuite bathrooms with showers and are equipped with TVs, air conditioning and ceiling fans, as well as sliding glass doors that open to either a sea-view or garden terrace.
Ocean View Bedroom 1 is the closest room to the beach, this queen-bedded room will be coveted for its stunning sea views. The room is adjacent to the living and dining area and has sliding glass doors that open to the terrace overlooking the pool.
Garden View Bedroom 2 is set adjacent to the living and dining area, this cosy double room has sliding glass doors that open to the koi pond and tropical garden. Double louvered doors to the ensuite bathroom add an Asian tropical flavour.
Garden Pavilion Bedrooms 3 and 4 are the two largest bedrooms in the villa. Both are furnished with queen-sized beds and feature elegant desk areas in alcoves with calming Buddha statues as well as serene views of the koi pond and garden. Sliding glass doors open to a shared patio.
