Located on the southern headland of Kata beach with uninterrupted views of the Andaman Sea, this privately owned, four bedroom, Thai-style villa boasts a host of luxury features. It has three main dining areas, two private pools, including a children's pool and a large, open deck set in a mature tropical garden.

The main pool has a stunning infinity effect, the deep sea-blue water mirroring the Andaman Sea beyond. Facing directly west, the villa is cool in the mornings and perfectly positioned to enjoy the spectacular sunsets, especially from the sala, perched above the water's edge.

There are four bedrooms in the property, 2 master suites and 2 smaller rooms. All rooms feature many decorative items and the hardwood floors and ceiling add to the Asian feel. The ceiling reach up in line with the roofs giving a lovely spacious feeling. All rooms are, of course, fully air-conditioned and are furnished with top-quality linens and mattresses.

Accommodation

Master Bedroom
This room with its large balcony overlooks the pool and out to the sea. It features a huge canopied four-poster bed with en-suite bath and shower, TV ( satellite) and fridge.

Main Guest Bedroom
This is located in its own building, so perfect for a couple (or for parents wanting a little distance from their children just opposite!). This room also features a four-poster bed, en-suite bath and shower and a cd/tape player.

Bedroom Three and Four
These rooms are located together and share a bathroom. They have twin beds which , with the use of many mattress pads, can comfortably be made up as doubles.

The final building houses the wet-weather sitting and dining areas upstairs (with TV, DVD and VCR), with the western kitchen, sun room and dining balcony downstairs. The fully-equipped kitchen has an oven, microwave, huge fridge and industrial strength liquidizer (essential for those frozen margaritas!).

Through sliding doors you move out onto the balcony, the perfect location for a quiet breakfast or candlelit dinner. Across from here is an alternative eating area, with seating for 10 on a sandstone terrace, covered for shade, but open on three sides. If you prefer to dine totally al fresco the tables can easily be laid on the pool terrace with just a word in our housekeeper's ear.

Facilities

Pools
The tiles in the 2 pools (7m x 7m and 4m x 4 m) have been carefully chosen to mirror the deep blue colour of the Andaman sea and, on a sunny day, the effect from the infinity pool into the sea is virtually seamless

Sala
The Sala, which comfortably seats 8 for cocktails, faces due west for an unforgettable view of the spectacular sunsets. In the daytime it can be set with cushions as a relaxing area to enjoy the sea breezes and the sound of the waves breaking on the rocks below.

Playroom
The "playroom" has its own TV, VCR and DVD and is located under bedrooms 3 and 4, ideally situated for occupying young minds until parents are ready to surface! There is a selection of DVDs and videos suitable for young children as well as many games and toys.

Location

Located on the southern headland of Kata beach with uninterrupted views of the Andaman Sea. Kata beach, just five minutes walk away, is arguably the finest of Phuket's beaches. Relatively underdeveloped, the gently sloping shoreline and pristine sands make this the ideal swimming beach in the dry season and the best surfing beach in the low season.

The area around Kata is home to some of the top Thai and Western restaurants on Phuket, amongst them The Boathouse, with its award winning wine cellar, just a few minutes walk from the villa.
