Trisara Ocean Front Residence 29

Trisara Ocean Front Residence 29 clings to the southern headland of the Trisara estate, above the quiet shores of Nai Thon on Phuket’s north-west coast, with the Andaman Sea stretching away beneath it. Its private grounds cover almost two thousand square metres, stepping down the cliff in a series of terraces, pavilions and teak decks, so every level has its own slice of the view. Tiered Thai roofs, polished wood and bold red feature walls give the house real character, and the setting feels wonderfully remote.

The twenty-metre infinity pool is the centrepiece, its edge seeming to spill straight into the sea, with a tiered-roof sala at one end that glows at sunset. Teak sun decks are scattered with rattan sofas, round daybeds and big umbrellas, and a sunken circular dining table on the terrace makes lunch with a sea view the best meal of the day. Lower down, the Boathouse has its own thirty-metre deck for open-air dining, and there is a pétanque court for lazy afternoon games.

Inside the main pavilion, vaulted ceilings and warm timber frame several lounges and a formal dining room with floor-to-ceiling windows onto the water, alongside a fully equipped kitchen. A private cinema and a billiards room take care of rainy evenings. Six bedrooms are spread across different levels: four sit close to the pool, while two more in the Boathouse, finished like a classic yacht cabin in glossy wood, suit teenagers or a couple wanting their own corner. An in-villa chef prepares breakfast every day and two housekeepers keep everything immaculate.
