A wood-paneled roofline reaches toward the sea like the bow of a ship at this waterfront villa 5 miles outside Chaweng. Take alfresco stairs to the sand, hop on a kayak or paddle board, and return to your Thai chef's treats by the sun-drenched infinity pool. A lush hillside, wood accents, and local artwork liven the serene setting, and traditional temples and majestic waterfalls wait in the wings.
