New Year 2019

71 Jan19234 There are many luxury boutique villas around the world who say that they offer a taste of true paradise on Earth. Located adjacent to Chaweng and Lamai – Ko Samui’s most famous of tourist hotspots- Karpe Diem might just come close to realising that promise. Following the Villa’s recognition as the ‘Luxury Boutique Villa of the Year’ in our annual Global Luxury Hotel and Spa Awards, we were eager to profile Karpe Diem to find out how they have created one of the must-visit luxury experiences in Asia. One of the villa’s most prominent features are the two expertly designed infinity pools, both facing the peerless Gulf of Thailand. Guests who stray close to the edge are treated to a seemingly unending ocean, peppered with dashes of sapphire, cerulean and turquoise. There are, truly, few places like it on Earth. At its core, Karpe Diem Villa is defined by these moments of staggering beauty, as they harness the natural splendour of the environment to create once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Partner this with the villa’s full time 5-star staff, and Karpe Diem seeks to impress from the moment a guest steps over the threshold. With its clean modern design, the villa exudes a sort of timelessness, enjoying a minimalistic take on luxury living without sacrificing any amenities or function. Indeed, with its gym, massage room, and spa, guests are encouraged to relax and unwind: to – simply – enjoy their Retreat Seize the Moment in a Tropical Thai Paradise time at the villa. This idea really sits at the core of Karpe Diem, and they’ve sought to capitalise on this ethos with every design choice and inclusion. With its four spacious sea view bedrooms, Karpe Diem is also the perfect venue for any kind of gathering or celebration, including weddings and executive retreats, or just for sharing with family and friends. Equally, despite being located close to Chaweng and Lamai, the villa has 3000 sqm of tropical landscaped gardens – and an abundance of fruit trees- ensuring maximum privacy, yet, easy access to the region’s plentiful offerings. Ultimately, Karpe Diem villa is perfect for lovers of the outdoors with Lush gardens, open terraces and stunning views being a tempting luxury trifecta. Further, for golf lovers, the Royal Samui Gold Club is just three minutes away from the villa’s front door. As LUXlife Magazine’s ‘Luxury Boutique Villa of the Year’, Karpe Diem impresses on every front. The villa is perfect for guests that want a true taste of hospitality or for those that want to venture out and embrace the vibrant Thai culture. More than anything, the villa wows with its relaxed and luxurious atmosphere. All in all, there’s no denying that Karpe Diem is a special place indeed. It is a place to be experienced, and cherished. As the villa proudly states on its website: “Welcome to Paradise”. Here, those words seem perfectly apt. Company: Villa Karpe Diem Website: www.karpediemvilla.com
