Welcome to Villa Phuket, a
privately owned, Thai style, luxury villa situated on Kata Beach
overlooking the beautiful Andaman Sea in Phuket, Southern Thailand.
The property, called Baan Kata Keeree in Thai, is set among lush,
tropical gardens. The building itself encompasses six bedrooms, two
main dining areas, two private, modern pools, including one for
children, and a children's play area.
Relax in tranquillity here on our private property in
Phuket. You can reserve your stay at Villa Phuket, as well as find
out about the many amenities we offer.
As at October 1, 2003, the villa is
fully booked up until January 10, 2004. |

| Baan Kata
Keeree is located on over one rai (1600m2) of land at the southern
tip of Kata beach, on a rocky promontory overlooking the entire
beach and bay, including Poo Island. There is a private beach
access, whilst the villa itself remains very exclusive with remote
controlled entry gate. Yacht fiends can anchor their boats right
under the villa and walk up. |
Kata beach
is well known to Phuket regulars as the best swimming beach on the
island during the dry season and the best surfing beach in the rainy
season. The fact that 70% of it is taken up by The Club Med adds to
the exclusivity factor, whilst meaning all sporting activities are
available. Some of the best restaurants on the island, and the best
wine cellar, are just walking distances away (The Boat House, The
Kata Grill).
|
Many would
argue that this is the best location on the island; private and
secluded whilst also right within walking distance of everything you
need, and on one of the best but not yet over commercialised
beaches. As they say, location is not everything but it is most
things!
|
|
 The
house itself is totally unique and stands in its own private
grounds - it is one of a kind. Unlike most other developments on the
island, which are part of communities, this property was entirely
designed and constructed by the owners. The architect is Professor
Junaphas who did the renowned Regent Four Seasons in Chiang Mai,
amongst other exclusive developments.
This property is quite easily the most
outstanding sea front villa on Phuket.
|
The Thai
style villa itself is made up of four main buildings covering over
400m2 of house space, with another 400m2 of terraces. The middle
building is two stories, giving the two top bedrooms a complete view
of the entire bay. The terrace space is particularly outstanding,
with two levels and two swimming pools with cascades from one to the
other (one is 12mx5m with a Jacuzzi and swimming jet current, the
other is a kiddies’ pool of 5mx2m). The fully landscaped back
gardens comprise a separate house which acts as the kid’s playroom,
plus a tree house and two functional waterfalls, one of which flows
into a fish pond and also acts as the main entry level. There is
another entrance sala at the top, and a separate service access
|
For your
dining requirements you have a choice of a large outdoor teak
table,
which overlooks the entire bay, or the indoor dining area, both of
which can comfortably seat 12. All indoor areas are fully air
conditioned (including the western kitchen), with top of line
recessed Mitsubishi Mr. Slim models. Fans are also available in all
rooms. Small details such as deluxe Slumberland mattresses add to
the feeling of comfort, which is always paramount in this type of
property.
|
| The house
was designed for ease of living, and comprises a fully equipped
modern kitchen right next to the lounge/living area (it has all
modern conveniences, including a large cooled wine cellar). An
additional kitchen for staff use and Thai cooking lies at the back
near the covered parking area. All rooms have a full, unobstructed
view of the sea and the swimming pool. |
 The
entire house has been tastefully furnished, with no expense barred,
using a combination of oriental antiques maximizing the use of
colours, and different textures such as marble, granite and teak,
which are used abundantly. Cable TV and computer/internet access are
available, as is a fax machine.
|
The house
comprises six bedrooms (four with king sized beds and two with twin
singles) and six bathrooms, each with bath and separate
shower, and most with private gardens containing ornamental statues.
Part of the master bathroom looks out over the bay through an
ornamental garden. The staff quarters consists of an extra two
bedrooms with own bathrooms. A safe is available for guest use in
the master bedroom.
|
| The entire
property, including trees and pools, is tastefully floodlit at night
to give maximum effect. |
