Why We Recommend Villa Solaris (4 Bedrooms)
Villa Solaris sits within the exclusive Cape Amarin Estate above Kamala, and with just four bedrooms it offers an unusually high ratio of facilities to guests. Three swimming pools, a home cinema, a private gym, and a massage room would be generous for an 8-bedroom villa — for a 4-bedroom property at around US$213 per room per night in low season, it feels almost excessive in the best possible way. The three-pavilion layout connected by a sky bridge and elevator gives the property a resort-like scale, and the panoramic ocean views from every bedroom make the elevated hillside position genuinely worthwhile. It is one of the best-equipped small-group villas we have seen on Phuket.
Our Favourite Features
- Three swimming pools at different levels of the estate — including an infinity-edge pool that creates a seamless line between water and the Andaman Sea below
- Sky bridge connecting the pavilions — an architectural detail that makes moving through the property feel like an experience rather than just getting from room to room
- Private gym and massage room on site — the kind of facilities that mean you genuinely do not need to leave the villa during your stay
- Floor-to-ceiling windows throughout the main living pavilion — the open-plan space wraps around the upper pool and the natural light is excellent
- Elevator access between levels — a practical addition for a multi-level hillside property that makes it more accessible than most comparable villas
Good To Know
- The three-pavilion layout means the villa is spread across a large hillside site — bedrooms are not all next to each other, which is great for privacy but means walking between areas
- Kamala Beach is 10 minutes by car — you are not beachfront or within walking distance, so transport is needed for beach days
- Peak season pricing at US$2,275 per night is nearly triple the low season rate of US$850 — the December to January jump is significant, so book early for holiday dates
- The property also offers a 3-bedroom configuration for smaller groups — worth checking availability if 4 bedrooms is more than you need
- Cape Amarin Estate is a quiet hillside enclave — beautiful for relaxation but limited for evening dining and nightlife without a car or taxi
