An exclusive private tropical hideaway in phuket (#30367)

Description of the Phuket vacation villa rental

You may rent the villa only (6 persons) or villa + annexe (12 persons).
From the pool a broad stairway flanked on either side by guardian Naka, leads upwards through the tropical garden to a teak shingle roofed Sala constructed over a bubbling watercourse which introduces the entrance to the main residence. Here a traditional terra cotta relief depicts the Naka at the birth of the universe.
The interior of the house is essentially oriental in character with adjustments to accommodate western style living. Here there is no lack of creature comforts - a combination of western "necessities" complimented by the splendour and design of the Orient.
A curved marble staircase leads to the main living room of the house where teak panelled walls and cool marble flooring opens onto a spacious wooden deck. This al fresco living and dining area affords panoramic views of the tropical garden and the island studded seascape beyond.
The elevated aspect of the house and the open tropical design style allow the property to breath with natural air currents and sea breezes contributing to a sense of relaxation and spaciousness.
Air-conditioning is only provided in the more enclosed areas of the property.
At the rear of the living room area, one wing opens to an opulent mirrored dining room serviced by two kitchens, one western Mediterranean in style and one Thai style.
The opposite wing is where the games room can be found, furnished with Chinese antiques and a full sized snooker table.
One floor up the master bedroom with en-suite bathroom has an emperor size bed and is of cathedral like proportions with exposed wooden beams and romantic lighting controllable according to the mood of the occupants. Stunning views take in the limestone karsks of Phang Nga Bay including the now famous "James Bond" island. The master bedroom area is provided with fan cooling only, as in its elevated position natural cool airflows eliminate the need for air-conditioning.
The smaller second bedroom with en-suite bathroom and air-conditioning is next door, facing southwest views of the island landscape can be enjoyed.
The top floor is home to the third bedroom, also with en-suite bathroom, air-conditioning and views out across the island. A separate annexe finished and furnished to the same high stndard as the main villa is additionally available for larger families and groups.

Area Description

Koh Naka Retreat is located on the island of Koh Naka Yai which has five white sand beaches and access to many others on neighbouring islands.
The crossing from "mainland" Phuket is made from the rustic pier at Ao Po, an unspoilt traditional fishing village in a secluded location off the tourist track on the east coast of Phuket. Whilst the majority of tourists flock to the commercially orientated beaches on Phuket's west coast, the discerning visitor is aware that vastly superior scenery and beaches are to be found off the island's eastern shores. Most of these idyllic locations are accessible only by water which provides them with an exclusivity and tranquillity appropriate to their natural beauty. Most visitors to Phuket enjoy, at best, an organised day trip to this region, at Koh Naka Retreat you are based in the heart of this natural paradise and enjoy uninterrupted views of its magnificent scenery.
