3-Bed Sea View Villa in The Villas Overlooking Layan

The Villas Overlooking Layan is a small gated estate in the hills behind Layan Beach, and this three-bedroom, three-bathroom house of 550 sqm takes in sea, mountain and pool views from its elevated position.

The estate's houses are built with cedar roofs, slate and floor-to-ceiling glass, with the master bedroom and main living area on one level, separated from the guest rooms. This particular villa adds a private gym, maid's quarters, a balcony and a renovated kitchen, and comes with an oven, microwave and TV.

House and land are held through a Thai company, which transfers with the sale — standard for landed property but worth reviewing with a lawyer. The sea view and scale suit buyers wanting a main residence or long-stay base rather than a compact rental unit.
