THE VILLA AKATSUKI The art of blending Thai and Japanese design is superbly achieved at Villa Akatsuki. Artfully chosen, each piece of furniture and every design detail is styled in a way that fits with the artistic aesthetic of the villa space; a sophisticated, relaxing retreat that connects with the serenity of the tropical beach and garden setting. The Japanese decor puts beds in central positions creating quiet spaces, with rooms fashioned as understated yet deeply relaxing. Meanwhile, the Thai furnishings add elegance and mirror the Thai island destination, renowned for its warm and inviting spirit.
A cascading trio of stunning infinity pools, each on a different level, leads down through the middle of a green setting dotted with gorgeous pavilions to a picture-book white-sand beach by the turquoise-blue waters of the Gulf of Thailand; beachfront beauty, exquisite luxury, and inspirational design on one of Thailand’s most gorgeous islands. The coastline of Koh Samui defines tropical vacations, while the unique vision of Villa Akatsuki, with its open grand atrium, creates its own idyllic world; a mesmerising villa rental retreat that truly transports, transforms, and ultimately inspires the essence of who you are.

Raku on its own floor spies the sparkling sea whilst Mizu, meaning water, overlooks the plunge pool and can be expanding to include the villa’s A-Spa treatment space. Umi translates as ‘ocean’ and is the master suite with a glass wall displaying magnificent views of the seashore, designed so you can look out to the clear waters whilst taking a glorious soak in the suite’s deep tub. Meaning ‘sky’, Sora is a second-floor suite, giving it a hideaway feel.

Asian therapies use essential oils, native fruits and spices, and rare plant essences; evoking a feeling of deep relaxation that detoxifies your whole being; evoking a sense of space, time, and mindful perspective.

I am not entirely sure I want to share this gem with anyone else
First off this is the first time I have bothered to review a holiday accommodation and secondly I am not entirely sure I want to share this gem with anyone else. But in the spirit in which we were received by the most gracious hosts of THE PLANTATION I feel duty bound to take the time to give credit where it is due.
The property itself is of course stunning. Look at the pictures. It does not disappoint in the flesh and nor is it photographed omitting noisy neighbours or ugly views. Secluded, subtle and an oasis of peaceful calm. Most previous reviews mention the fireflies on the lawn of an evening. I now understand why. Impossible to put into words or indeed film or photograph. What most don’t mention is the incredible calm of early morning there.
Good architectural fore thought meant my family of five ‘lived’ easily in this space. The space works very well. Location wise very convenient for Merida and the week barely gave us time to scratch the surface of all the sites within day trip distance. Utterly genuine honest hosts who are as enthused by the houses as we were. A rare find and a true ‘keeper’.

I’ve been to THE RANCH several times
Each time I find something I didn’t before. Its perfect balance of great design, relaxed atmosphere and the wonderful help there make it a place for me to go and unplug. A perfect place to “do nothing” or take day trips to the great ruins, the beach or even Tulum… perfect.

Great combination: lovely house, rice field and gorgeous sand beach!
What a beautiful house with a gorgeous view facing sun set and rice field; “you can not talk of such a place without crashing your decor, exceptional it is true! Imagine just come face to green rice fields and fields dotted with disheveled huts lonely 180 ° and 400 meters from the best beach on the coast. We had the chance to enjoy this place early June, it was perfect: sunny, lovely beach, warm enough water, very quiet… like a paradise; we would definitively come back to visit.
