Hiding in the Phang-Nga town of Khok Kloi, Coastal Escape Natai has injected its four villas, each with five bedrooms, with mid-century character. Think pavilion-like houses with expansive glass, reinforced concrete, and open-plan layouts that epitomise modernist interiors. With an emphasis on volume that highlights the importance of an individual, lounge-like experience, the villas boast spacious interiors with low-slung furniture and floor-to-ceiling windows. Other areas to embrace the beauty of the peaceful life include sprawling pool decks framed by coconut trees, and the private, casuarina-lined beach that stretches as far as the eyes can see. Tours to nearby attractions can be arranged, and in-villa massages are available in the spa room.
With a maximum occupancy of 10 guests, the villas at Coastal Escape Natai are ideal for beach parties with an intimate atmosphere or a lively family get-together set against picturesque beachfront views. Throw a barbecue party that inspires communication, arranged with the help of the villa team, then enjoy slow living indoors with on-demand spa treatments.
Each of the five-bedroom, 700 sqm villas has high-ceiling interiors with flowing curtains and puddled drapes that show off laidback luxury. Amenities for an unforgettable holiday include a fully-equipped kitchen and wine cellar, plus a barbecue area and private pool bar. Attending to guests, the team includes the villa manager (on-call), attendants, gardener, driver as well as maintenance and security staff.
Entering your villa, you’re greeted by an all-white living room that nods to modernism with asymmetrical accents and little yet elegant ornamentation. Enjoy a relaxed start to the day at the pool bar followed by meals in the open-plan dining room for 10 people, which fosters conviviality. Besides that, al fresco dining by the pool, which faces the ocean, makes for a welcome change of scene.
