Villa Jetjinda

Villa Jetjinda is a crisp, contemporary home set in a quiet residential pocket of west Phuket, away from the busy resort strips but only around ten minutes’ drive from the west-coast beaches. White walls, walls of sea-green glass and warm teak joinery give it a clean, airy feel, and at around 550 square metres it has the room to take a large family or several households without anyone feeling squeezed. Seven bedrooms, seven bathrooms and space for fourteen make it one of the easier big-group homes on the island.

Everything turns towards the pool. The long saltwater pool fills the courtyard between the villa’s two wings, with a row of loungers along one side and a long outdoor dining table on the other, set right beside the water for lunches that drift into the afternoon. As the light fades, the pool and the glass façade glow, and the whole courtyard feels like a private resort. Upstairs, a covered roof terrace with a deep outdoor sofa and sun loungers gives a second, quieter place to sit, and a balcony off one of the upper bedrooms catches the evening air.

Inside, a bright open-plan living room with tall windows and gleaming floors flows through to a sleek white kitchen with built-in ovens and plenty of space for a chef to work. The seven bedrooms are spread across both floors, six with king beds and one with twin beds for children, each with its own bathroom and many opening onto the garden or a terrace. There is even a dedicated spa room for in-villa massages, and daily housekeeping keeps everything in order.
