This amazing property is one of only seven villas that make up an exclusive gated residential estate on the Phuket’s scenic west coast. The villa sits on a spectacular, hidden tropical headland just a short drive south of Naithon beach.
The property’s expansive living and dining areas, seven generous bedrooms and stunning cliffside infinity pool are built over three levels surrounded by mature palms and fragrant frangipani trees, with the entire property bathed in breathtaking coastal vistas. Traditional Thai-style shingle roofs, high ceilings, and wide outdoor terraces ensure that a large family or group of friends sharing the villa can enjoy plenty of private and communal space, even when the bedrooms are fully occupied. The villa’s inviting 15-metre private oceanview pool, and wide, furnished sun terrace offers an idyllic place to relax and tan, while beach lovers can walk a few hundred meters up the coast to nearby Banana Beach, which is nestled in a small, pristine cove. The villa comes with three full-time staff, including an experienced manager to take care of special requests, a skilled Thai cook who prepares delicious, healthy meals and an efficient, unobtrusive maid who keeps the house permanently clean and tidy.
Passing the guardhouse to enter the community, a driveway climbs to the right through mature landscaped grounds up a gentle slope to the villa’s main entrance that features a guest cloakroom and storage space either side of the front door. As you enter the villa, the first thing that strikes you is the dramatic oceanside setting, which offers stunning sea views to frame the comfortably furnished upper floor reception and lounge. A wide spiral stone staircase descends from the main entrance to the villa’s mid-level accommodation, while a covered al fresco dining area and outdoor furnished lounge beckon to the left. The central, upper floor living area is furnished with two large cushioned sofas and two armchairs surrounding a teakwood coffee table. The room is surrounded on three sides by sliding glass doors that draw in the natural sea breezes and guarantee constant soothing sea views. Buddhist statues, Burmese bowls enhance the exotic location, with hand-built model sailing ships displayed in standing wooden cabinets adding a homely, family-friendly ambience. The villa’s dining terrace is furnished with an 12-seater wooden dining table and two additional built in tables perfect for children to use at mealtimes. Intricate model sailing ships and a flotilla of regatta trophies on the shelves in the living room offer a clear indication that the owners of this stunning oceanside home love sailing. It is therefore no coincidence, perhaps, that the villa’s architecture and cliffside location allow guests to enjoy a constant connection with the sea from almost every bedroom and living space. Soft green and blue hues colour the spectacular views, perfectly complementing the natural tones of the outdoor furnishings and the warm teak floored interiors. The villa’s well-planned design also makes it easy to drift between homely holiday pleasures, whether relaxing poolside stretched out on a comfortable sun lounger, reclining with a book on the shaded middle terrace or kicking back in front of a movie in the air cooled entertainment lounge. The size and layout of the villa also means it’s easy for families or groups of friends sharing the house to find a balance between shared and personal holiday experiences. After a day lounging poolside, its easy to scene shift in the evenings by simply moving upstairs to the upper floor dining terrace for sundowners and evening meals – efficiently served by the soft spoken villa staff who unobtrusively go about making sure guests have everything they need for a perfect stay.
The 7 bedroom suites offer an appealing sense of self contained comfort – even for children in their own dedicated kid’s room – and additional facilities such as the entertainment lounge and downstairs office mean that every guest need is catered for, indoors and out. Staying just a 5 minute walk from one of Phuket’s lesser known beaches (only accessible on foot or by boat) is a definite bonus for guests staying at this Villa, as it guarantees lovers of sand and sea will not be disappointed. Other than occasional trips to the beach, there are few reasons to venture far from the peaceful surroundings of the estate. Guests that enjoy eating out have plenty of options within easy driving distance, including the restaurant at one of the island’s most famous luxury resorts, Trisara, which is located right next door.
