Villa Hale Malia

Sitting at the pinnacle of indulgence, Villa Hale Malia boasts a privileged position in the Kamala Estate on a hillside above the breath-taking Andaman Sea. Expansive glass abounds on all sides to create an outside ambience no matter where one resides, as if the tropical scenery has been transported indoors. Verandas hug the edge of the inspired edifice, while the luminous infinity pool stretches towards the horizon in a seemingly never-ending glory. Slip from its cooling embrace and take shelter in the open-sided gazebo, stars for company as you fire up the BBQ, a pleasing sense of solitude to rest the soul.

Utilising locally sourced materials throughout the construction helps preserve the traditional feel of the architecture, Asian timber reflecting the indigenous jungle landscape. From the elegant wooden steps of the entrance to the capacious glass-fronted hall, there is a seamless harmony throughout. From this open-plan space, one can recline on enormous sofas and admire the incredible panoramas, or recede into the confines of the home cinema room and allow the mind to unwind. Seek the sauna for some sultry revitalisation or the steam room to cleanse, then head to the yoga pavilion when ready to limber up. Once suitably relaxed and with an appetite to encourage, seek the bounties of the in-villa chef and dine to your heart’s content, a dedicated butler to ensure effortless enjoyment.

Presiding over the crystal-clear waters of the Andaman Sea from its exclusive peninsula setting, Villa Hale Malia boasts the most idyllic of locations. Creating a harmonious connection with the jungled landscape outside, there is a paradisiacal splendour to the construction that few other spaces manage to achieve allowing guests to melt into the tranquillity of their abode. Whether reclining on a lounger - the gentle warmth of the tropical sun soothing your back - or relaxing in the cooling embrace of the infinity pool, expect ultimate serenity. Or wander through the fragranced frangipani and find a solitary spot to enjoy a celestial sunset display. On the Samsara Estate, a pacifying aura is all that abounds.

Sitting on an exclusive peninsula on Phuket’s west coast provides all the isolation once could need. Lauded as the trendiest development on the Asian continent, few have the privilege of staying in its hallowed surrounds. Boasting only ultra-luxe accommodation that has risen to international acclaim, these are environs to aspire to. Yet, privacy does not dictate seclusion, so if you want a vacation that splits serenity with revelry, rest safe in the knowledge that all of Phuket is within easy reach of this tranquil estate.

This wonderfully thought out property has been finished with the utmost elegance: contemporary touches, intricate designs and abundant modern technologies ensure all needs are met in a traditionally opulent atmosphere. The integrated kitchen connects seamlessly to the expansive dining area, while inviting soft-furnishings allure guests into homely surrounds with otherworldly vistas.

Glass facades retract to unveil a resplendent decking that neighbours the enticing 14m infinity pool; the edges disappear into the depths of the horizon, a marvel of contemporary design. An open-sided sala sets the stage for sunset displays, while an outdoor BBQ area compliments the setting and provides bountiful banquets for consumption al fresco in the bespoke pavilion – candles not required, starlight ample for romantic atmosphere. Each of the four bedrooms share the same astounding view – the expanse of the ocean a soporific backdrop to be enjoyed from exclusive balconies. Private outdoor bathing is a unique luxury to relish in these tropical climes.

The Samsara estate is an entirely unique in location, a verdant peninsula that hides the divine dwellings from their surrounds, whilst enabling the most inspiring of views. Showcasing nature at its finest, the generous glass facades of Villa Hale Malia connect inside with out and ensure guests feel at one with their sultry surrounds.

Whether reclining on the soft-furnishings in the airy lounge or reposing beside the peaceful infinity pool, tropical cocktail in hand and breath of breeze on your neck, there are few more idyllic destinations. Then gather the troops for sundown – no more ethereal a happening than the sun dropping in a tropical bliss land, the kaleidoscopic sky exhibiting its true beauty against the verdant hues of the landscape.

On Samsara Estate, every experience is world-class.
