The Beach House

A Beguiling Tropical Gem

Located in one of the most exotic and inviting places on earth, this spacious villa is perfect for large families

By Phil Butler

Outside, there’s an open-air pavilion for relaxing and taking in the spellbinding panorama overlooking some of Phuket’s most impressive nature.

Set on an overlook above the Andaman Sea on Phuket Island’s remarkable west coast, Villa Hale Malia is a contemporary dream vision brought to life. The villa’s concepts, skillfully created by the architects at Original Vision, take full advantage of the landscape overlooking the Patong coastline, the pristine beaches below, and its lush garden surroundings.

Villa Hale Malia is a luxurious two-level ocean-front villa located inside the luxurious Samsara Estate just outside Naka Thani Village and only a seven-minute drive to downtown Patong. The 500-square-meter (5,382-squarefoot), six-bedroom, six-bath main house is listed for $5 million, but offers its owners priceless sunrises and sunsets.

Designed with family living and entertaining in mind, Villa Hale Malia has a light and airy flow. At the home’s center is a fantastic living room featuring six-meter-high teak ceilings and wrap-around floor-to-ceiling bifold anodized aluminum doors that open out onto a glorious outdoor terrace. A second living area downstairs is a more cozy affair with an openplan professional kitchen, dining room, and sitting areas. The villa’s six bedrooms can easily be expanded to eight, given the unique spaces of the main house. There’s a fantastic master suite that includes its own outdoor jacuzzi, and each of the home’s bedrooms features its own private terrace.

Outside, a 15-meter (50-foot) infinity pool is surrounded by sunbeds, an outdoor barbeque area, and a large dining spot that can easily seat 20. There’s also a dining and relaxing sala/living room affording the owners and their guests 270-degree panoramic ocean views. There’s also direct access to Nakalay and Blue Coral beaches from 1,000 square meters of manicured lawns and 4,000 square meters of gardens. Villa Hale Malia enjoys a premium location inside the private estate community and has the largest landscaped gardens anywhere in Phuket.

Extensive staff quarters at the rear of the villa include a second full western kitchen, staff bedrooms, a common area, and a large laundry room. These quarters connect to the main villa levels through private doorways that allow for ultimate guest privacy.

The main living room was designed to take advantage of the uncompromising views from this part of the Samsara Estate. Massive glass windows, with hightech, wrap-around aluminum doors, put owners and guests in the center of nature, but in total comfort.
