Baan Banyan

The luxurious Villa Baan Banyan boasts an enviable hillside position on Phuket’s west coast, unrivalled ocean views spanning the length of this lavish dwelling. Within the midst of the verdant Kamala headland – an illustrious stretch otherwise known as Millionaire’s Mile – this fantastically well-served villa relishes such secluded surrounds with opulent bedrooms, indulgent dining spaces and an 18m infinity pool that showcase a level of luxury unattainable elsewhere.

The spectacular six-bedroom property is ideal for large families or groups looking to celebrate, accommodating twelve in its extravagant surrounds. An expert team of superb staff ensure an impeccable vacation in the most sublime of environs; the lofty locale allowing ultimate privacy, whilst direct access to Rocky Cove via a sheltered trail means the crystalline sea is never far away.

Relish the grandeur of this divine abode – few can lay claim to such ethereal surrounds, as top-of-the-range amenities serve to enhance the untainted jungle scenery creating the most idyllic of tropical island hideaways.

One of a handful of developments to reside in the esteemed Kamala estate, Villa Baan Banyan sits on the cusp of Waterfall Cove with peerless vistas alongside Phuket’s west coast. Fringed by myriad luxury villas and top-end resorts, there is an exclusivity like no other on this majestic peninsula.

Kamala Beach is a white-sanded utopia just ten-minutes away, while the main town of Kamala is a charming former fishing port now blessed with any number of local restaurants and enchanting markets, each serving an array of indulgent affairs. For more esoteric experiences, head to Surin, Bang Tao or Patong – each a 15-mintue drive – or just sit back and indulge in the pristine nature of this elegant setting.

Within walking distance is the paradisiacal Parisa resort, which offers a resplendent restaurant as well as an inspiring cooking class that teaches the true temptations of Thai cuisine, plus – if the supreme spa facilities are of interest – discuss with your villa manager to see if reduced-rate access can be arranged.

The opulent Baan Banyan is a contemporary masterpiece that sits seamlessly within the vibrant tropical scenery, as indoor living flows effortlessly outdoors creating the most harmonious of ambiences. Capacious open-plan living and dining spaces meld into one - with a joyous entertainment room set in the same pavilion - all running onto an expansive terrace that frames the inviting infinity pool.

Four generous master suites share two separate pavilions for unbridled privacy: peaceful sanctuaries that offer isolated escape when staying with larger groups. King-sized beds, secluded balconies and indulgent ensuites, with oversized bathtubs that include Jacuzzi jets, allow ceaseless revitalisation. Or enjoy free-flowing showers whose timber doors open directly onto the balcony for an uplifting morning experience. The two upstairs bedrooms sit beneath towering vaulted ceilings, four-poster beds a regal resplendence framing wondrous ocean views.

Flat-screen TV’s in all of the rooms ensure hours of lackadaisical slumber and guarantee the ultimate vacation rejuvenation; recline in the palatial suites or take to the enchanting terrace and enjoy kaleidoscopic sunset displays that will melt the heart – this is the purest of island-escape experiences imaginable.

Villa Baan Banyan is a multitude of natural materials that blend with the scenery to imbue the most serene of ambience. Striking stone walls, polished-teak floors and exposed beams shape the enticing interior to ensure a homely comfort; and additional tropical delights complement the indulgent aura of the abode. Accompanied by state-of-the-art amenities, a perfectly-equipped kitchen and an enthralling entertainment area - there are few places one would rather be. With air-conditioning to moderate the sultry climes, alongside an unbeatable hillside setting, embrace the tropical temperatures and enjoy halcyon days of enraptured ecstasy.

Each of the six-bedrooms extols the best of the mesmerising views enhancing the vibrant nature of the jungle flora thanks to expansive glass facades. Coupled with a peerless service delivered by the professional staff, there is a reason for the exultant acclamation offered towards each and every development that graces the much-admired Millionaire’s Mile.
