A four-bedroom architectural villa set high on a secluded Kamala peninsula, its Z-shaped wings opening through floor-to-ceiling glass to the Andaman Sea. A 21-metre infinity pool, a separate lap pool and jacuzzi, a rooftop lounge, fitness and steam rooms and a private chef sit within a gated estate above Phuket's west coast, sleeping up to eight.

Cut into a secluded peninsula above Kamala's west coast, this four-bedroom villa is a piece of contemporary architecture as much as a home. Its Z-shaped plan spreads across separate wings so each room keeps its privacy, while floor-to-ceiling glass folds the living spaces open to the Andaman Sea, the forested hillside and long evening sunsets. The master suite occupies its own wing with a private plunge pool and jacuzzi; three further en-suite bedrooms sleep up to eight in all. Living is arranged for both gathering and retreat — an open-plan lounge and dining room, a fully equipped kitchen, a media room, a home office, a bar opening to the garden, and a rooftop lounge laid out for sundowners over the water. Outside, a 21-metre infinity pool runs the length of the main terrace, with a separate lap pool and jacuzzi, wide sun decks and mature gardens across a private estate of some 11,200 m². A fitness room with steam room completes the wellness side of the house. A team of three, including a private chef, looks after the day-to-day, with daily breakfast, turndown and a return airport transfer included; massage, laundry, car and driver hire and a wine selection are available on request. The villa sits within a gated community with 24-hour security, minutes from Kamala Beach and Phuket's west-coast restaurants and beach clubs.
