Villa Montse

There is a slick feel to Villa Montse, set on the Ayan Hills Estate on the beautiful north-west corner of Phuket. Hidden amongst its jungle-like garden, the property is a haven of isolation just a few minutes away from Bang Tao beach. A fish-pond installation adds a regal splendour to this traditional Thai property, its comforting décor eliciting a sense of charming simplicity in exclusive surrounds. 

The contemporary interior space offers all the modern comforts one would expect of any luxury destination with expansive rooms and ample soft-furnishings, inviting guests to lounge and admire the congruous structures. Tropical gardens and verdant borders are the perfect backdrop for lazy days by the chlorine-free pool; absorb the temperate heat of this idyllic island as children can enjoy freedom within the isolated confines of the property. Or relax on upper-storey verandas, enjoying dramatic sceneries of mountainous horizons whilst sipping on exuberant cocktails. 

Just ten minutes away from the spectacular Layan and Bang Tao beaches, in a sleepy enclave on the north-west corner of Phuket, is the Ayan Hills Estate – exclusive grounds housing only a handful of luxury properties. Villa Montse is easily reached from the airport and is set in the idyll of Bang Jo – 15-minutes from the international terminal and just a 30-minute drive from the hedonistic pleasure-centre of post-sundown Phuket – the famed town of Patong. Cherngtalay and the Laguna Complex are a mere 5-minutes away and offer an eclectic selection of gourmet delights, while many of the islands more holistic activities and health shops are conveniently located just a short stroll from the villa.

Should you fancy a swing, Laguna Golf Club is a short drive away; a championship-standard course set within dramatic surrounds with mountainous backdrops - a prized destination for any serious golfer.

The contemporary Villa Montse has all the mod-cons to suit family vacations and group gatherings; pristine spaces for sociable evenings and air-conditioned retreats for afternoon repose. A 20m pool lies at the heart of the property – an aquamarine haven enshrined by sun loungers and wooden decking. Upper tier terraces overlook the space and offer the perfect evening setting for breath-taking sunsets and nightcap cocktails.

Bedrooms each have their own ensuites with the master room on the upper floor with pool and garden views. Hard-wood floors and soft-furnishings create an inviting chamber with desirable vistas and a delightful queen-sized bed. The second room prizes a king-sized bed before large French-windows that give way to an exclusive private garden – a delightfully secluded retreat for lucky guests. Bedroom three overlooks the front of the villa and its spectacular mountainous surrounds, equally well-appointed with king-sized bed and private seating. A fourth bedroom is a child’s haven with two beds and cot as required – garden access and private ensuite spoil the occupants but why not enjoy a touch of luxury on holiday.
