Villa Tievoli

A prime ocean-front setting, Villa Tievoli (Sava 1) is the idyllic beach-front property of your dreams.

Over two-hundred metres of pristine white sand stretching from the foot of the paradisiacal property, the tropically warm azure of the Andaman Sea lapping the sultry shoreline as if a giant private swimming pool built purely for guests’ pleasure. Leveraging this unique vista, and blended with a contemporary styling, the generous open-plan living space boasts a comforting allure that is as ideal for entertaining as it is for relaxing.

Gazing out to the 25m infinity pool, the capacious abode fits seamlessly within its grounds, six divine bedrooms spread throughout for absolute privacy, with uber-modern entertainment systems for a fully-rounded luxury experience. Whether dining inside or al fresco, the dedicated chef will delight with his prowess, and the in-villa maid service will ensure the property remains at its picture-perfect best for the duration of your stay.

Bordering Natai Beach on the west coast of Thailand – undisputedly the most untouched bay left in the region, lying within the revered Phang Nga province – Villa Tievoli boasts a unique exclusivity. Set on the spectacular Sava Estate, which is itself a beautifully constructed development, the less-crowded Phuket beaches remain within easy reach, although there is little reason to look beyond your doorstep for sublime sands.

Beyond the shoreline lie crystal-clear waters that are perfect for snorkelling adventures, while this lengthy stretch of coast is ideal for energetic evening strolls as much as lazier days of sunbathing – and the celestial sunsets are a spectacle in their own right.

At 20-minutes from the airport, transfers are easily arranged for a nominal fee, while the more glamorous surrounds of Phuket – its abundance of world-class golf courses and Michelin level restaurants – are just a short drive away.

Open the glass frontage and step into sub-tropical climes, stroll across the timber bridge and dive directly into the cooling embrace of the glistening infinity pool – its endless expanse drifting seamlessly into the awe-inducing Andaman Sea that lies beyond.

From the refreshing waters, take to shady surrounds: sun-sheltered pods offering respite from the warmth and open-air pavilions the perfect stage in which to relax - cocktail in hand. Many choose this space for sunsets – if a more romantic hideaway than this exists, we are yet to find it. Marvel as the sea laps the shore with its gentle caress and the sun dips its head for a final time that day.

Then, once the stars have made an appearance, drift indoors and settle amidst the soft-furnishings of the family room – the perfect spot for dreamy downtime – before livening things up with a pre-dinner frame of pool.

The villa is composed of expansive glass walls, which front the main living area, the sun streaming through in the day with a romantic moonlight offering evening ambience. A second lounge has a more ebullient vibe with a delicately lit bar and vibrantly coloured furnishings – the ideal setting for an aperitif pre-feast. Whether enjoying the grandeur of the banqueting table or the splendour of the outdoors, there is a natural connection that is beautifully in keeping with the scenery.

Alongside the party-friendly layout, hide repose-centric bedrooms ensuring guests can achieve as much a state of recovery as revelry. Five doubles and one twin, families and groups are easily accommodated across each of the lavish set ups, ensuites for all but two of the rooms, flat-screens for each – sneak into the privacy of your abode and relish some time alone.

On the beach reside kayaks for guests’ pleasure – take to the high seas and explore the ‘hongs’ of Phang Nga - these secretive hidden inlets that rest covertly within the limestone islets dotted around the coastline.

The scenery of the destination is unrivalled, leading to voyages of discoveries like no other.

Blurring the lines between inside and out, Villa Tievoli extols the best of open-plan living through a capacious design that links each space to the next, finally opening into a magnificent beach-side expanse. As the sun climes and temperatures rise, find respite in the cooling depths of the pool, then take to the shade of an open-sided pavilion to allow halcyon days to drift by.

When the tropical temperatures become too much, interior spaces can be closed off and the air-conditioning notched up – the family room is a great spot for cooler gatherings, while the media or games room an easy option when young ones need distracting. Whether travelling with the masses or joined by quieter groups, there is ample space for escape, no matter who is in your company.
