Villa Narissa Phuket

Villa Narissa stands high on the headland between Kamala and Patong, a newly built home finished in 2022 and the largest residence on its estate. Set over three floors, it was designed around one thing above all: the view. From almost every room you look out across Patong Bay, where fishing boats trace slow lines across the water and green hills tumble down to the sea. It is a superb choice for extended families and groups of friends who want room to spread out without losing the sense of being together.

The sun terrace is the soul of the house. A twenty-metre infinity pool runs right to the edge of the headland, with a separate shallow pool for little ones beside it, and plenty of loungers in both sun and shade. A gazebo and a covered outdoor dining table sit near the cliff edge for long lunches in the breeze. Indoors, the living room opens through a wall of sliding glass to the terrace, the dining table seats twelve, and the kitchen comes with an ice machine, a coffee machine and a breakfast counter. Upstairs, a gym and a second lounge with a mahjong table give everyone somewhere to escape to.

The seven bedrooms are bright and calm, with whitewashed walls and big windows. The master suite has its own balcony facing the bay, the junior master and two further rooms share the sea view, and two more look out over the gardens. Children will make straight for the Kid Den, a fun room lined with bunk beds. A chef, housekeeping and nightly turndown are all part of the stay, along with 24-hour security and an included airport transfer.
