Villa Yang Som

Presiding over the Andaman Sea at over 80m up in the hills of west Phuket, Villa Yang Som boasts the most awe-inspiring of backdrops from which to admire the panoramas of this turquoise ocean. With Phang Nga to the north - erupting from the depths - and many richly verdant valleys in the surrounds, there is no better setting for a luxury villa hideaway.

The property utilises an expanse of intricately located terraces and salas to capture each and every angle of the vistas, showcasing the beauty of the island across its three levels. Drawing in the cooling sea breeze while gazing back out to the magnificence that lies beyond, wallow in the 18m infinity pool and admire the splendour of this heavenly destination.

Situated on the hillside within the prestigious Surin district, Villa Yang Som boasts one of the most privileged settings on the island. Spread over six-floors of architecturally intriguing design, indoor lounges spill onto outside verandas to seamlessly meld the villa into the lush environment that lies beyond. Phuket’s west coast is undeniably among the most beautiful destinations in the world; it would be a crime not to showcase such splendour.

At just 30-minutes from the airport, guests are dropped in paradise within a heartbeat of arrival. The rambunctious district of Patong just a half hour’s drive along a divine coastal road, while the revered beach-front bars of Surin are merely two minutes away.

An allure too tempting to resist, voyage and discover uber-cool clubs amidst esoterically indulgent dining establishments – a feast for the eyes as much as the stomach.

Maximising space through beautifully constructed open-plan areas, living and dining rooms spill onto elegant stone terraces that invite guests out for al fresco dining amidst the shade of surrounding palms.

Should the heat become too much, recede to the sixth floor for a famous Thai massage in the private spa setting, or find an isolated sala and enjoy tranquil vistas to the music of your choosing, streamed through the integrated sound system. For the culinary inclined, a fully-appointed kitchen awaits (should you truly wish to cook), or loiter on the terrace as the in-villa chef knocks up another mesmerising feast of the day’s freshest catch. Whether for sunrise splendours or a sunset session, there is no better locale for such indulgent eating.

Five bedrooms are designed for ultra-comfort. King-sized beds, tranquil studies and ensuite bathrooms common-place across each of the rooms. If here for the views, then draw back the curtains and order a coffee to your bedside – the ultimate enjoyment of the majesty of the surrounds from the comfort of your own bed. Or take to your own Oriental spa-style bathroom: guests have spent hours lost in the relaxing hot-jet tubs, blissfully unaware as the day idols into eve.

Request villa staff bring an early morning juice to your bedside, or ask for a pre-dinner aperitif to enjoy on the terrace as the sun drops beyond the rainbow-like horizon. Round-the-clock security affords the ultimate peace-of-mind – be thankful, as your soul will wonder into a dreamland from the second you step foot in the magical premises of Villa Yang Som.
