Villa Pearl

Villa Pearl is a big, easy-going family home in Nai Harn, at the relaxed southern tip of Phuket, around a fifteen-minute walk from Nai Harn Beach and its lagoon. Seven bedrooms spread over two floors give room for up to eighteen guests, which makes it a natural choice for extended families or several families holidaying together. Guests often say the same thing: the house is so roomy that nobody ever feels in anyone else’s way.

The house wraps around a private pool courtyard, so the water is the first thing you see from the living rooms and terraces. Loungers line the deck, curved outdoor sofas invite lazy coffees, and a white screen wall keeps the courtyard private while green hills rise beyond it. After dark, soft lighting turns the pool a deep, glowing blue, and the barbecue is ready for evenings at home.

Each floor works almost as its own home, with a living room on both levels. Downstairs, sliding glass doors open straight onto the pool, while the upstairs lounge leads out to a balcony with hill views. There is a games room with a full-size billiard table, a ten-seat dining table and a modern kitchen. Bedrooms are bright and simple, with white walls, dark timber and splashes of navy, and the mix of king beds, extra singles, a triple room and a bunk room makes it easy to fit families of every shape. Housekeeping is included, and the housekeeper can cook Thai meals with groceries charged at cost.
