Villa Cielo

A sublime setting in the exclusive Sava development, Villa Cielo (Sava 3) resides in the esteemed surrounds of the Phang Nga province, on the edge of the glorious Natai Beach. Undoubtedly one of the most untouched regions of Thailand, few more isolated idylls exist that still enjoy such pre-eminent landscapes.

A myriad of open-plan living and chic design combines to create an awe-inspiring beach-front destination. The stylish architecture of the property – timber structures hoist whitewashed walls – is the perfect foil to verdantly tropical outdoors, while state-of-the-art amenities ensure guests want for nothing when staying in this achingly modern pad.

Expert staff are on hand to maintain the immaculate nature of your vacation. The serenity of the outdoors, the refreshing nature of the infinity pool and the pristinely manicured gardens completing a picture of sub-tropical bliss.

Bordering Natai Beach – the most sublime of white-sand expanses – and with views of the turquoise Andaman Sea stretching far beyond, Villa Cielo enjoys a privileged setting on Thailand’s west coast. Residing within the exclusive Sava estate in Phang Nga province, there are few more idyllic oases than this. Retreat from the masses who gather in Phuket, and reside in calmer surrounds, safe in the knowledge that balmier nights are easily reached if a jaunt onto the island is desired.

Yet, with such serenity on your doorstep, untouched white sand as far as the eye can see, most elect for bedazzling afternoon strolls or lazier midday sunbathes – absorbing the revitalising rays of the tropical sun. The daily sunset spectacle is a show of ethereal splendour - a delight not to be missed - although a journey to the nearby marina or into one of the famed local resorts may mean the odd afternoon is shared elsewhere.

At just 20-minutes from the airport, guests are incredulous at the ease of arrival into an area of such splendour; how can such a haven exist so close to the real world.

The apogee of ultra-luxury, Villa Cielo is a blend of six generously appointed rooms, innumerable open-sided living spaces and an outdoor area that will have guests losing themselves for days.

Three beautiful bedrooms reside by the pool, extensive glass walls retracting to provide seamless access to refreshing waters and a sun-drenched deck. Two master suites boast unbridled views of the Andaman Sea, furnished in opulent glory with genteel colourways magnifying the tranquillity of the vibrant scenery. The guest rooms share the same level of welcoming warmth and invite you in for hours of slumberous repose. With capacious bathrooms coupled with lavish bathtubs or indulgent rain-showers, retreat into an oasis and return revitalised.

The villa itself is open-plan and airy, teak floors and tiled interiors complimented by contemporary finishes and multiple soft-furnishings. At the centre lies the grandeur of the lounge, an L-shaped sofa the perfect spot for relaxed afternoons with views of swaying palms outdoors. To the side lies a beautifully decorated media room; on-demand movies as well as Wi-Fi access - be drawn in at your peril. Or trust the allure of the pool table to create an ambience of excitement, then exit into the outdoors and rejuvenate by the infinity pool – a wondrous space, whether for midday dips or evening frivolities.

The landscaped gardens are intricately designed for shady sits or casual strolls – an open-sided dining pavilion a favourite among residents, the bespoke BBQ a source of mesmerising banquets, with the ocean-front sala the perfect stage for sunset cocktails – finish your days to a haze of celestial wonder, waves lapping at your feet.

Find urbane comfort in untouched surrounds; civilisation has taken a backseat in this wondrous spot, Villa Cielo one of few privileged properties to call the region home.

Seamlessly connected rooms allow guests to drift amongst the property, linking the indoor to the outside in a harmonious flow. As days warm up, slide through glass doors and dip into the pool, then float to a beach-front pavilion, book in hand, and catch a swift nap before the fiery evening sunset show. Even when indoors, the expansive use of glass maintains a unbroken connection to the outside, air-conditioning providing respite from the climes without removing the ocean vistas that bless the property.

Where not everyone will be so enamoured by the splendour of nature, children will certainly fall in love with the family media room – the perfect setting for communal downtime, while the outdoor dining sala is a beautifully intimate spot for evening feasts.

To the backdrop of the Andaman Sea, the villa rests in harmony with its surrounds thanks to an understated design approach that focuses on comfort above all else. There is no better space for family enjoyment.
