Best location: Private Pool Villa Yang with perfect sunset view

Villa Yang and Villa Yang Noi are Luxury Home Villas – outstanding designer holiday homes that have inspired architects, and places that guests never want to leave. With a total of five bedrooms and truly breathtaking indoor and outdoor living spaces spread over four levels, families or groups enjoy exclusive comfort wrapped in a serene tropical hillside setting with views stretching over the Andaman Sea. These unique private villas are perching on the cliffs of the headland of Yin Yang Villas at Amarin Cove Estate near Kamala Beach, along Phuket’s sought-after “Millionaires’ Mile”.

Conceived by the highly regarded Thai architect Charupan Wiriyawiwatt, this oceanfront village of Yin Yang Villas is a blissful blend of Thai and contemporary design, its pitch-roofed main pavilions housing a lavishly furnished living area, dining room and modern Minotti kitchen. Ideal for entertaining or simply relaxing in style, this sleek, open-plan space is enclosed in glass and opens to the spacious pool terrace, with 15-18 metre marble pools inviting sun-soaked dips with gorgeous sea views.

The tropical gardens lay down the hillside from Villa Yang to Villa Yang Noi, a separate gardenvilla with SPA area and a seaview lounging deck with stairs through the exotic forest of trees down to the rocky waterfront. Each of the brightly coloured guest bedrooms also offer privacy, comfort and ocean views from private balconies.

Service at Villa Yang is as generous as its style, with a full-time staff team including a villa manager offering five-star care throughout the day. The delicious feasts prepared by Yin Yang Villa’s Thai kitchen or the nearby Paresa chef with a Michelin star served with panache, offer a wonderful chance to delve into local Thai cuisine. And those wishing to explore beyond the villa will find many of the island’s best leisure, dining and shopping choices – as well as Kamala and Patong beaches – within easy reach.
