Siray Infinity Pool Villa

Siray Infinity Pool Villa stands among tall trees on a forested slope on Phuket’s quiet east coast, with the calm waters of Phang Nga Bay and a line of limestone islands spread out below. A lawn edged with glass looks straight out over the sea, and the light here changes all day, from silver mornings to soft, hazy evenings. It is a peaceful, modern home for up to eleven, well away from the busy west-coast beaches.

The infinity pool sits right on the edge of the view, with a stone wall and a cascading water feature at one end and a timber deck for sunbathing. The main living room opens straight onto the pool through tall sliding doors, with a long, deep sofa, warm timber walls and a TV, so the sea is in sight even from inside. Beyond it, a long dining table sits beneath pendant lights against a natural stone wall, beside a fully equipped kitchen.

The five bedrooms are calm and contemporary, with timber floors, soft lighting and big windows onto the sea or the trees. Three have king beds and two have twin beds, which suits families well, and every room has its own bathroom, with bathrobes and good toiletries. One suite has a walk-in dressing room and a daylit bathroom with a freestanding tub. Breakfast is included, housekeeping is daily and a villa manager looks after the house.
