Alina Flora

Villa Alina-Flora combines two identical four-bedroom villas to create an unrivalled luxury experience on the idyllic island of Koh Samui. Sunk into the Maenam Hills, each dwelling boasts resplendent panoramas across the northern coastline framing Koh Phangan and Koh Tao as they sit serenely on the horizon, even glimpsing the magnificent Ang Thong Marine Park. Expect unbridled vistas and spellbinding sunsets from this hilltop vantage spot.

Accommodating up to sixteen guests across the two properties, this is the perfect getaway for large family groups or friendly gatherings. Residing within the same estate, there is an ease of access between the two, plus the wondrous advantage of two of everything: swimming pools, kitchens, lounges, BBQs – there are few more dreamy set ups than this with the villas beautifully equipped to handle visitors of all ages thanks to their state-of-the-art amenities.

As the elegant décor and towering ceilings harmonise delicate interiors with the verdant outdoors, all that’s left is to recline in tropical paradise.

There are few more picture-perfect spots on Koh Samui than Maenam. Inspiring vistas stretch as far as the eye can see – two pinnacles of the Thai landscape decorating the horizon with Koh Phangnan and Koh Tao dominant features in the distance. With both easterly and westerly aspects available, watch the sunrise in ethereal splendour then grab a cocktail and enjoy a kaleidoscopic sunset display from any one of several terraces – the iridescent sea lighting up each evening beneath the fiery sky.

Within sight of Bo Phut, the charming fishing village that has preserved its sense of Thai culture, fresh seafood lands daily to the delight of visitors, then Chaweng sits not far in the distance – this height of hedonism that draws in those looking for frivolities. At just 20-minutes from the airport, not long off the plane and you can already get excited about mingling with the masses at Nikki Beach.

Eight bedrooms span two pristine properties as Villa Alina-Flora makes the most of its picturesque setting. Welcoming guests into a warm embrace, the minimalist décor exhibits all the elegance one comes to expect from an Asian abode. Professionally-equipped kitchens offer opportunity for banquets, while an outdoor BBQ tempts those who enjoy the sizzle of hot coals. A breakfast bar splits kitchens from dining rooms where a grand teak table offers seating for up to eight. Living areas are framed by expansive glass windows that retract to reveal the impressive seascape that stretches beyond the infinity pool, or retreat behind the curtain and settle into a sofa with the flat-screen TV for light-hearted entertainment.

Outside, the inviting infinity pools and tantalising Jacuzzis offer an air of opulence, while the capacious verandas are an immaculate sunset spot. Stretching the length of the façade, recline to an awe-inspiring backdrop or seek solitude in one of the hidden outdoor salas.

Each villa offers four equally lavish ensuite bedrooms – eight in total - for ultimate exclusivity. Three bedrooms on the first floor boast magnificent views and a fourth sits a level down with similarly opulent offerings. Doubles or twins ensure groups of all ages can be accommodated, while locally-sourced artworks maintain a sense of local tradition throughout the abode.

Two wonderfully contemporary villas sharing the same private land, Villa Alina-Flora is a divine location to share with your loved ones. Identical in their offerings; ensuites, infinity pools and capacious living means little to do but enjoy the company of your contemporaries. With a barbecue on site and a dedicated chef to man the coals, rest to the sizzle of the day’s freshest catch, or request a specialist spa treatment in the privacy of your own room while a banquet is whipped up outside.

The magnificence of the setting draws to-be-weds from across the globe, the dual villa offering a grand locale in which to welcome one’s guests. With the availability of an airport transfer, cots and high-chairs on request plus a personalised concierge service, even travelling with little ones is a breeze in this paradisiacal destination, particularly with the confidence 24-hour security gives parents.
