Twin Villas Natai

Twin Villas Natai is two contemporary beachfront villas, North and South, standing side by side on the soft sand of Natai Beach, just north of Phuket. Each has five bedrooms, its own pool and its own living spaces, so a big family or several families can share one stretch of beach while still having two homes to retreat to. In front, a wide lawn shaded by tall trees runs straight down to the sea, and the sunsets over the Andaman are the highlight of every evening.

Each villa has a twelve-metre infinity pool that seems to flow towards the lawn and the beach, edged with loungers and an open pavilion facing the water. From there it is a few steps to the sand, where kayaks wait for calm mornings and the long, quiet beach is perfect for walks. The two houses share the same easy, light-filled design: open-plan living rooms with glass on three sides, big white sofas, a long timber dining table and a fully equipped kitchen with a central island.

The ten bedrooms suit every age in the group. There are king suites, twin rooms whose beds can be joined, and three bunk rooms that children and teenagers love, all with air conditioning, a TV and their own bathroom, several with garden showers open to the sky. Breakfast is included, a chef can cook lunch and dinner, housekeeping is daily, and the airport transfer on arrival is part of the stay. Bicycles are available too, and the islands and limestone cliffs of Phang Nga Bay are an easy day trip.
