Live in unparalleled opulence and perfect privacy at these private villas in some of Southeast Asia’s most gorgeous destinations. Southeast Asia’s finest private villas now come with all the perks you might find at a luxury hotel – and some may even surpass them. You can eat whatever you want, whenever you want, and tailor your activities to feel more connected to the location, all in guaranteed exclusivity. Here, we’ve curated a list of villas that really shine, from rambling estates rolling onto the beach to modernist masterpieces perched on cliffs and meditative, rainforest-wrapped hideaways.

The Seed

Nestled between an empty golden beach and mist-licked mountains, this eight-bedroom sanctuary has more than enough to keep you entertained for a week without ever thinking of leaving. For a start, there’s the oceanfront swimming pool, which you can plunge into from a treetop platform, as well as a cascading jungle pool and natural rock pool fed by a waterfall. Active types can kayak along the coast, snorkel above coral reefs or hit the outdoor gym, supported by a chef-formulated nutrition plan. The switched-on staff are also on hand to arrange boat charters, open-air massages and outdoor movie nights.
