A well equipped gymnasium and fitness room and an office area on the lower level make this property ideal for those who need to keep in touch with the outside commercial world. Glass-paneled fences surround the pools and the stairwells, and the floors and walkways have all been treated with anti-slip. An outdoor barbecue area compliments the well-equipped kitchen, and the outdoor areas are lit up at night by candlelight.
At Your Service The more compact second villa, which is independent from the main villa, is perfect for house guests. It has its own swimming pool directly off the lounge area, two bedrooms, and the same spectacular ocean views as the main house. A full time staff of seven, including two highly acclaimed chefs, are on hand 24/7 to look after guests, and fulfill their every wish. There are even in-house spa treatments available. The property is low maintenance, and the staff take care of everything, from the cooking and housekeeping to the painting and plumbing. “The villa is run like a five-star hotel, but without any other guests,” said Joanne. “Everything anyone could ever want is here. We find that when guests stay here, they go out for dinner once when they first arrive, then stay in for every other meal. The chefs are two of the best on the island.” With two swimming pools, there is no need for guests to go looking for somewhere to cool off, but if they feel the need to feel some sand between their toes, Surin Beach is only two minutes away. “Surin is the Knightsbridge of Phuket,” said Joanne. “It has some great beachside restaurants, a good nightlife, and there is always something to do there.” The property is currently on the market for USD 8 million.
