Chalong Villa 436 in Phuket, Thailand

This beautiful beachfront villa is located in Chalong Bay, close to Rawai beach. The villa is fully air conditioned and includes a vehicle and two full time staff. This is an ideal home for holiday makers who want the independence of a luxury private home but still within easy reach of all that the Rawai area has to offer.

The home is fully secure with automatic gates to the entrance with undercover parking for 3 vehicles and outside space for many more. The parking area doubles as a basketball court for the energetic. The home is entered through a towering hallway with koi ponds and water features. You are presented with magnificent views over the pool, expansive lawns, beach volleyball court to Chalong Bay and the green islands in the background.

The house comprises 2 main buildings, the main house and the guest pavilion/ entertainment suite.  The focus of the main house is the living room with 12 metre high teak wood panelled ceilings and 2 meter crystal chandeliers. The lower facade of the house comprises a wall of windows and sliding doors that make the most of the views and natural light. The whole house draws inspiration from granite counter tops and teak wood floors and ceilings. 

The Kitchen is divided from the living area by an 8000 litre marine aquarium adding a further level of tranquillity to the house. You shall want for nothing when creating in this kitchen. Built to European specifications, there is an island hob, breakfast bar and top spec equipment. The dining room has a large teak table offering unimpeded sea views. 

From the living room, you ascend to the mezzanine on the sweeping staircase. The mezzanine leads to the master suite on one side of the home and the office / 5th bedroom on the other.  The master suite provides stunning views over the arc of Chalong Bay with ensuite bathroom and dressing room.

The gym and 2 further guest rooms are adjacent to the hallway and are easily reached from the living area. The 2nd bedroom and entertainment pavilion are situated next to the pool. The entertainment suite houses the controls for all the entertainment systems including an automatic drop down projection screen for a true home theatre experience. State of the art audio completes the picture with music piped around the gardens in specially designed speakers. A must for the discerning entertainer.

Lastly, the pool area is most significant from a holiday point of view. The 15m lap pool is complimented by a shaded sala for relaxing by the blue tiled Jacuzzi. The centre of the lawn is dominated by a beach volleyball court which provides a healthy distraction of kids and adults alike. Being floodlit the court can be used at night for games or as a night time play area for the kids.

Location

This luxury villa is in the desired South of the island only 10 minutes from Nai Harn, Kata and Karon beaches. Most other rental villas are in the northwest part of the island which is not close to anything except golf, expensive shops and the airport. There is a reason all of the resident expatriates live on this part of the island and that is due to the better weather, finer beaches, numerous quality restaurants, less crowds, and the proximity to the best the island has to offer.
