Himmapana Villa Hills 3B

Himmapana Villa Hills 3B is a bright, contemporary pool villa on a small private estate of fifteen homes at the foot of the hills behind Kamala. Clean white walls, warm oak floors and splashes of burnt orange and blush pink give it a fresh, modern feel, and the green ridges of Phuket’s west coast rise behind the house. It is an easy, relaxed base for families or a group of friends, with Kamala Beach only a few minutes away.

Downstairs, everything faces the pool. The living room, dining area and kitchen flow together behind floor-to-ceiling glass, so the whole ground floor fills with light. The dining table seats six beside a well-equipped kitchen, and the lounge has plush sofas for slow evenings in. Outside, a long private pool runs the length of the terrace, with sun loungers and a sunken outdoor lounge where you can sink into deep cushions and watch the swimmers with the hills as a backdrop.

All three bedrooms are upstairs, and every one has a king bed, a TV, a desk and an en-suite bathroom with both a bathtub and a shower, so nobody is left with the smaller room. Each opens onto a glass-fronted balcony looking out over the valley and the hills. Daily housekeeping keeps things spotless, the estate has a reception, security and a shared gym, and an on-call shuttle runs guests down to Kamala.
