Why We Recommend Villa Baan Banyan (4 Bedrooms)
Villa Baan Banyan sits on a jungle-covered headland above Kamala Bay, and the 4-bedroom configuration gives you a generous share of this exceptional property without the cost of the full estate. At around US$274 per room per night in low season, you get four master bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms plus two additional bedrooms across three connected buildings — enough space for up to 12 guests without anyone feeling cramped. The 18-metre infinity pool with its unobstructed Andaman Sea views is the real centrepiece, and the west-facing position means the sunsets here are among the best on Phuket. Full staffing is included, so all you need to do is settle in and enjoy the headland setting.
Our Favourite Features
- 18-metre infinity pool that appears to drop straight into Kamala Bay — the visual effect from the pool deck is genuinely dramatic, especially at sunset
- Tree-top hillside position surrounded by tropical jungle — feels completely private and secluded despite being only minutes from Kamala village
- Three separate buildings connected by walkways — creates natural zones for different groups within a larger party, so everyone has breathing room
- Dedicated yoga and meditation sala — a rare touch that makes the villa particularly appealing for wellness-focused guests or small retreat groups
- West coast orientation captures Andaman sunsets every evening — not something you get on the east coast of Phuket, and here the views are completely unobstructed
Good To Know
- The hillside setting means walkways and steps between the three buildings — not ideal for guests with mobility limitations or very young children
- Kamala Bay is a quieter area of Phuket — excellent for relaxation but limited for nightlife and dining compared to Patong or Kata
- Low season rates start at US$1,095 per night, but peak season (Christmas and New Year) jumps to US$3,575 — booking well in advance for December and January is essential
- The villa also offers 5-bedroom and 6-bedroom configurations if your group needs more space — worth considering the larger options if numbers are uncertain
- The beach below the headland is accessible but not a long stretch of sand — Kamala Beach proper is a short drive away for a full beach day
