The Library has unveiled the final additions to its award-winning ‘Secret Chapters’ with the opening of The Writer and The Editor ultra-luxurious villas in September 2018 at the acclaimed Thailand property situated on Chaweng Beach in Koh Samui.

The Library, a member of Design Hotels, has now completed the creation of an exclusive collection of Secret Pool Villas which offer outstanding leisure experiences though conceptually engaging design and warm Thai hospitality.

Each of the new villas has been designed by The Library’s Owner and Creative Director, Kasemtham Sornsong and Project Manager and Interior Designer, Tirawan Songsawat.

In a profoundly evocative and romantic atmosphere, The Editor’s core ethos is revealed through its focus on ‘emotion’.

Tirawan Songsawat lends her artistic vision in creating a special space for travelling couples where every room has a specific scenario.

A beautiful palette of seductive red hues awakens the passion and verdant green tones soothe the senses.

Key features include a custom-made 3.3-metre-wide bed with mood lighting, a full dining area with pantry, dedicated reading room, an outdoor sala, a spacious Jacuzzi bathtub and an 8-metre-long saltwater swimming pool.

The Editor is a 278-square-metre villa for 2 adults.

The enduring design philosophy of The Library is that of minimalism and The Writer subverts that narrative with a play of contrasts – a merging of flamboyant interiors and sharp-lined exteriors, a juxtaposition of the modern and the exotic, a melting pot of Western and Eastern sensibilities.

Borne from the imaginative mind of Kasemtham Sornsong, this 359-square-metre pool villa stands as a singular bold statement of a well-travelled working creative.

Key features include an absolute beach frontage and access, a custom-made 3.3-metre-wide bed, dedicated living and dining spaces, a library, an outdoor cinema, expansive courtyard with private gym and Jacuzzi, an upper floor terrace with spectacular views and an 8.5 x 7.5-metre-long saltwater swimming pool.

The Writer is the largest and most exclusive pool villa available at The Library and is for adults only.

With an enchanting beachfront location and a minimalist design, The Library is the perfect place to curl up with a good book.

True to its name, this unique conceptual hotel features an expansive library of more than 1400 books available for guests to borrow.

This wealth of literature is complemented by the clean lines and bold design choices of its 46 luxury pool villas, suites and studios, each furnished with a reassuring assortment of premium amenities and entertainment technology.

The famous red swimming pool provides stark contrast to the alabaster-white buildings of the property.

From The Page restaurant on the beachfront, to the Drink Gallery and Tapas Bar fronting the street, The Library seals the chasm between nature and modern life.
