The thing that makes the Sai Taan villas so nice is how they are built around the central pool and garden. Nearly every room in the house has a view of the garden through large sliding doors. This means that wherever you are in the villa, it's only a few steps out onto the terrace and right into the pool.

This villa is owned by a French couple that really loves to cook, so the kitchen has a full range of equipment. The decorations are also very carefully considered, and the garden in this particular villa is exceptionally well maintained.

I think this is the way tropical living ought to be: a blend of indoor and outdoor spaces with lots of water, lush gardens, and light everywhere.
