Away from the tourists but with incredible views across the rice fields to the sea, this home is all about stepping back and taking a deep breath. Watch the sunrise from the roof terrace, cool down in the crystal-clear pool and listen to nothing but the sea breeze and the distant sounds from the jungle. Stylish and luxurious, the villa is a blend of the modern and traditional, with everything from Buddha statues to striking, contemporary art. A state-of-the-art kitchen and stunning open-plan living space on the ground floor offer views over the enclosed pool area and the paddy fields, while several of the colourful en-suite bedrooms open to balconies. But the ultimate luxury is reserved for the roof terrace – a huge space with day beds, barbecue and a lounge area where you can sip drinks as the sun sets over the sea. Just a short walk or bike ride away, you'll discover some of the island's best black sand beaches and surfing waters.
