Villa Varya

Villa Varya sits in the heart of Millionaire’s Mile, the prized stretch of hillside coast just above Kamala, with sweeping views over the Andaman Sea and a forested headland rising straight from the water. Warm timber ceilings, polished wooden floors and bold artwork give the house a rich, characterful feel, and every room is turned towards the sea. With five king suites and space to spare, it suits families and groups of friends who want a stylish base only five minutes from Kamala Beach.

Water is everywhere here. Besides the sixteen-metre infinity pool and its broad sun terrace, three of the ground-floor bedrooms each have their own private pool, so you can slip from bed into the water before breakfast. A shaded pavilion in the corner of the terrace holds an outdoor dining table and a barbecue, and the landscaped garden beyond is full of tall trees. Inside, the open-plan living room opens through sliding glass doors to the pool, with a long dining table and a well-equipped kitchen alongside.

When the sun drops, the media room with its 85-inch screen becomes the place for film nights, and there is a billiard table and a gym too. Upstairs, the master suite has its own outdoor lounge, and the second upper bedroom opens to an open-air pavilion. Every bedroom has a king bed, a television, comfortable seating and a modern ensuite with a shower or bathtub. A team of five, including a chef who cooks Thai and Western dishes, looks after the villa throughout your stay.
