Wake to the soothing sound of waves lapping on the shores of pristine Natai Beach at this luxury beachfront villa, located just half an hour’s drive north of Phuket airport.

Featuring an open-plan layout with Asian design accents and floor-to-ceiling glass providing ocean vistas from almost every room, this six-bedroomed tropical hideaway on the Sava Beach Villas estate is the perfect place to host a group holiday, a wedding or other special event.

At the heart of the villa, accentuating its contemporary open-plan design, the 25-meter saltwater infinity pool is flanked by bedrooms to one side and a sun-drenched cocktail deck and dining pavilion to the other.

With everything literally at their doorstep, guests can swim, sip, dine and sleep at their leisure.

Boasting a wide lawn facing the ocean, a beachfront sala and a rear garden complete with petanque pitch, luxurious Villa Malee Sai takes full advantage of its peaceful location, and offers plenty of roaming space for young adventurers.

As well as a private chef on hand to whip up Thai favourites such as pad thai and papaya salad, the villa boasts a canopied barbecue area for casual dining and an indoor dining room furnished with a solid-wood table seating 10, plus a side table for four.

Appointed with beach-chic white day beds and Asian textiles, the living room opens up on both sides to reveal the poolside terrace and a reflecting pool, making it the perfect spot to catch the sea breeze.

To one side of the living room is a comfortable media/family room equipped with a TV and Teatro entertainment system.

Though the villa is within an easy drive of the buzz of Phuket’s popular beach resorts, this tranquil spot couldn’t feel more exclusive.

And with five star resorts The Aleenta and Iniala Beach just along the sands, guests will find some excellent dining options if they can bear to leave the comforts of Villa Malee Sai.
