Villa Fah Sai

Villa Fah Sai is a melting-pot of progressive design with hints of Frank Lloyd Wright interspersed with contemporary details that extol the tropical allure of the setting. Featured as one of the “Great Homes of the World’ by the pre-eminent New York Times, the grandeur of the property is likely to surpass even the highest of expectations.

The name translates to ‘majestic retreat overlooking a tranquil sea’ – a fitting tribute to this phenomenal abode. Clean lines counterpoise the horizon, unabridged views stretch throughout and the capacious nature of the rooms breathes indulgence. As soon as guests pass through the generously appointed living room into the resplendent surrounds, panoramas abound with an onyx-tiled pond mirroring the backdrop of the turquoise Andaman Sea, framing Patong Bay as it glistens in the distance.

Residing within the esteemed Samsara Estate on the western extremity of Phuket, Villa Fah Sai enjoys one of the finest views of the island with unblemished panoramas that stretch the length of Na Ka Lay Bay. Privileged to cover an entire headland that juts off the coast, there is an unrepentant exclusivity to the surrounds, with villas given ample plots through generous spacing.

Samsara Estate is revered as the trendiest of Phuket developments, ultra-luxury in every aspect and boasting international acclaim. Regarded as the most desired destination in the whole of Asia, whether you will want to step foot out of the property is another question but should discovery come onto the agenda, rest easy in the proximity of the island’s major attractions.

On the upper floor, sharp lines delineate the intersections of the property with high ceilings and generously sized rooms ensuring maximum breathable space. Passing through the central hall, discover the stylish dining room which flows seamlessly into the contemporary kitchen, state-of-the-art with all manner of modern equipment. Whether enjoying light brunches at the built-in breakfast bar, or retreating outdoors to partake in celestial dinners to the starlit canvas that floats overhead, there are few more spectacular vantage points in which to dine.

As the evening draws in, withdraw to the bedrooms, with each of the five enshrining the same level of luxury as the last – ensuites, spacious bedspreads and expansive views. Four bedrooms are located on the lower level with access to the sun-drenched poolside terrace – harmonious surrounds from which to slip out for a dip or enjoy an early evening aperitif. The master suite enjoys the exclusivity of a secretive top-floor enclave.

Every vacation requires time to switch off, hence the inclusion of a well-equipped games room - fitted with flat-screen TV and Xbox360, kids of all sizes will dine out in this deluxe sanctuary. In case exercise is required, a treadmill hides in the corner, perfectly placed to absorb the mesmeric views. Once exercise is complete, why not retire to the lower floor bedroom that can moonlight as an in-villa spa – with expert wellness therapists on call to deliver any treatment imaginable, drift into a dreamland at the hands of your guru. Then, once all knots have been removed, let the body revitalise in the midst of the indoor Jacuzzi.  

Leveraging the grandeur of its sublime locale, this contemporary dwelling spans two floors to present unbridled panoramic vistas from each and every divine aspect. A majestic entrance reveals a spacious living area, with grand glass facades allowing the tropical rays of the ever-present sun to filter into the setting and create a soothing atmosphere. The walls can be retracted should one need a sea breeze, the soft-furnishings providing the perfect throne for settling into the sea-scape show that stretches beyond, the onyx-tiled pond a reflective sheen that draws in the beauty of Na Ka Lay Bay and the aquamarine Andaman Sea that rests yonder.

A team of two manage Villa Fah Sai, their presence often unnoticed but their work never under-appreciated. The chef’s cuisine is sublime beyond all recognition, the housekeeper as diligent as any other. Samsara Estate offers its own on-site concierge, supporting the villa team in tailoring an impeccable luxury vacation.
