The saltwater pool and an al fresco, over-water sunrise and sunset deck with lounge seating reached by a wooden walkway, and the incredible water features within the villa conspire to create a beachfront green oasis in one of the island’s most serene locations. An outdoor dining sala, in-villa spa inducing total relaxation and a full gym inspire vacation experiences at Villa Sawarin.

The natural hues of the villa décor add a sense of tranquillity and understated sophistication as do the interiors of the living and dining and kitchen areas with the green garden and blue sea views adding the wow factor. A skilled private chef and round-the-clock in-villa butler also serve to enhance the vacation villa lifestyle experience. Meanwhile, a small promenade and pier nearby are made for a sunset stroll.

With ensuite bathrooms, some of which come with bathtubs, including a whirlpool bath in the master bedroom and balconies or outdoor terraces in most rooms, Villa Sawarin promises a private, convenient and comfortable stay that suits the modern-day traveler. A TV room and a family room with a ping-pong table are great extra features that add real chilled-out appeal.

Below the villa’s gardens, the golden sands beckon for lounging and walk along the beach, fringing a blue sea that is suitable for kayaking rather than swimming. A beach house with a terrace, wine fridge, sounds and a TV plus a boathouse with double and single kayaks and a paddleboard completes the picture of an island villa haven by the seashore.

As well as the resort-style facilities, guests also have access to gourmet dining, sport and wellness at the nearby luxury resort hotel Point Yamu by COMO as well as The Cape estate’s tennis court.
