5-Bed Hilltop Sea View Villa in Malaiwana, Nai Thon

High above Nai Thon Beach within the gated Malaiwana estate, this five-bedroom, five-bathroom villa provides 1,006 sqm of interior space on a 2,178 sqm plot, with sea views as its organising feature.

The landscaped pool faces the ocean, backed by a lounge with sliding glass panels for indoor-outdoor use. The house is divided into distinct sections that include a cinema and media room, private gym, office, spa area and a fully equipped, renovated kitchen; the master bedroom opens straight onto the pool terrace, and a garage takes two cars. Malaiwana itself is a private community with 24-hour security.

Held through a Thai company, the villa has been run with chef and concierge staffing in place — a set-up that transfers well to either a managed rental or a full-time private residence.
