No one does mega villas quite like Thailand. From jaw-dropping clifftop estates to exclusive beachfront getaways, these Thai villas take villa holidays to a whole new level.

1. Baan Paa Talee

9 Bedrooms
Kamala, Phuket

Baan Paa Talee Kitchen and Dining Area | Kamala, Phuket

Forget about a villa – this sprawling estate carved to the side of a rugged cliff over the Andaman Sea is more like a private resort. Featuring nine bedrooms ready to accommodate a full entourage of 18 guests, the property features multiple pavilions scattered across the estate – one of them an exclusively private Ocean Villa built a 150-step climb down from the main property.

Besides its sheer stature and sprawling layout, Baan Paa Talee wows with its five-star features and services. We particularly love the karaoke room – but maybe you prefer the 25-metre infinity pool, Jacuzzi or ocean view yoga deck? As the cherry on top, both the food – from the flavours to the presentation – and service are flawless.

2. Praana Residence

6 Bedrooms
Bophut, Koh Samui

Panacea Retreat Praana Residence Dining Area | Bophut, Koh Samui

The imposing Praana Residence is nothing short of a masterpiece. Built on the lush hills of Koh Samui, the six-bedroom villa commands awe-inspiring views over this beloved Thai island. The elevated position also adds an extra level of privacy – all the better for enjoying this gem of a villa with your own exclusive entourage.

Praana Residence was designed as the jewel in the crown of the already impressive Panacea Retreat. The villa exudes opulent Thai decadence paired with elegant modern furniture, all of it dripping with six-star luxury. And when it comes to features and facilities, it would be easier to list what isn’t included – because what you do have are two swimming pools (one of them a 25-metre long stunner), private 10-seater cinema, your own nightclub with karaoke and dance floor, spa room, gym, Muay Thai boxing ring… and the list goes on.

3. Samujana 30

5 Bedrooms
Choeng Mon, Koh Samui

If it’s ocean views you’re after, we can think no better place than the jaw-droppingly stunning Samujana 30. This designer villa features the most amazing ocean views we have ever seen from a villa – and after literally inspecting hundreds of villas in Thailand and beyond, that’s saying something.

All dressed in white to allow those stunning blue ocean views to really pop, the villa was masterfully designed by Gfab Architects. The villa’s L-shaped infinity pool is a definite show-stopper. If you’re able to tear yourself away from the views, the villa also comes with a swanky cinema room and a private gym. Of course, Samujana 30 is just one of the luxury pads located at the exclusive Samujana Villas estate – feel free to peruse and pick your favourite.

4. Collector’s Villa

3 Bedrooms
Natai, Phang Nga

Iniala Beach House Collector's Villa Media Room | Natai, Phang Nga

What this villa might lacks in square metres, it more than makes up in its out-of-this-world design and beyond five-star features – oh, and did we mentioned it’s located beachfront on a divine golden sand beach? Part of the indomitable Iniala Beach House, Collector’s Villa’s name is a nod to the villa’s eclectic décor and design aesthetics.

The villa is the ambitious collaboration of four international designers, each of whom has injected their own brand of je ne sais quoi to this stunning property. The columns in the villa’s impressive courtyard alone took 600 hours to construct, encrusted with up-cycled Thai teacups, saucers and dishes. Then there is the “Cinema of Nature” which can seat 22 guests facing a 160-inch screen, complemented by surround sound and uniquely designed furry green seating and coconut skin walls. Then there are the bedrooms – would you rather stay in the Carpenter’s Chamber, The Boudoir or the Owner’s Suite? A special shoutout to the estate’s kids club which is one of the best we’ve seen.

Once you enter the villa, it will take quite a while just to pick your bedroom – there are 11 total and all of them come with those signature ocean vistas. After roaming through the bedrooms, take a moment to appreciate the curated antiques featured in the living areas… before kicking back with a movie in your own private cinema, enjoying a tipple from the walk-in wine cellar or, if you’re feeling particularly virtuous, working up a sweat in the state of the art private gym.

These stunning villas are exactly why we say:

“Stay just one night in a villa and you’ll never stay in a hotel again.”
