ARCHITECTURE: LUXURY OCEAN FRONT VILLA, THAILAND

An exquisite oceanfront location with understated contemporary Asian design and a luxuriously appointed interior combine to make this four-bedroom villa a home of unmatched character and comfort. The luxury oceanfront villa is located in Kamala, Phuket, Thailand. It’s only a 10 minute stroll from the beach and a 40 minute drive from the airport. 

Described by Sotheby‘s as: “Wraparound outdoor decks with superb panoramic views frame a 14 metre infinity edge pool which fades into the Andaman Sea beyond. The beautiful alfresco dining area is complemented by a large open air sala completing the relaxed outdoor space. The elegantly decorated living, dining and four bedrooms combine rich Asian furnishings with modern luxuries, such as indoor sauna and steam rooms. Extensively manicured gardens lead down to the shoreline.
