Just because you want to plan a vacation as an escape from your everyday does not mean that you have to sacrifice convenience or even luxury. Villa Sawarin, located just 20 minutes outside of Phuket International Airport in Thailand, has the luxury features that even the most persnickety of travelers require, all contained in a beautiful design that has none of the generic feel that some resorts may fall victim to. The completed eight bedroom villa is the results of a design collaboration between Jean-Michel Gath and Phillipe Starck, and the influence of both of these renowned architects can be felt throughout the space.
