Laguna Waters

This ornate Phuket property is set amidst tranquil surrounds on the borders of a beautiful lake, enchanting guests with swaying palms, open-air living and an unrivalled traditional aura. Taking inspiration from indigenous materials and with expansive glass facades, there is a delicate elegance to Laguna Waters that fits harmoniously with the serene oasis outside. Liberal furnishings of polished wood add a tropical warmth, while each room spills out onto the multitude of terraces and external lounging areas through sliding glass doors.

Within its own gated community, there is an exclusivity to this award-winning resort that sets it apart from its peers. And when in such proximity to the delights of Bang Tao Beach – among the many other hedonistic delights of the island – there is little to do but enjoy the indulgent comfort offered by the sprawling outdoor spaces that invite guests to recline in absolute harmony.

Set within the exclusive resort that is Laguna Phuket – on the borders of its own private lake beneath the swaying palms – this has to be one of the more calming retreats of this lively region. With Bang Tao Beach just a gentle stroll away, balance sedentary days with salacious evenings if you decide to venture out and sample the acclaimed restaurants and balmy beach clubs of the area. Whether it’s gourmet Thai, sensational sushi or just a healthy pit-stop you’re after, there are guaranteed delights at every juncture.

For more active affairs, horse and elephant riding is on offer just opposite the villa – a delightfully laid-back manner in which to experience the beauty of the exclusive lakeside surrounds. Or catch the resort shuttle and head to the world-renowned Blue Canyon Country Club – a golf course of championship standard that will test even the most seasoned of pros, with some of the most awe-inspiring scenery one could imagine as a backdrop.

Suited to family groups and friendly gatherings, Laguna Waters invites guests to wonder between open-plan living rooms and open-air lounging terraces. Be social, be reclusive, indulge, retreat – any mood can be accommodated at this thoughtfully-designed luxury villa. 

At the entrance is the expansive lounge and dining area – an ideal spot for repose pre-dinner, or a shady retreat from the tropical heat - with a soft-furnished veranda within touching distance, set just above the allure of the 12m swimming pool. Dine inside or settle under the stars as the villa extends onto a multitude of decking and terraced spaces, or ask your chef to stoke the grill and barbecue the catch of the day.

At the top of the property lies the master suite – a luxuriously-appointed space with an exclusive terrace for lakeside views as well as its own ensuite for ultimate privacy. A further two double bedrooms sit on this floor featuring plenty of inviting furnishings and a shared ensuite. Below is another bedroom with pool-side access and private ensuite, whilst the final dwelling has the privilege of its own pavilion; a hive of exclusivity to the side of the pool – and a lap of luxury for a lucky couple.
