Baan Phu Prana

Set in the acclaimed Surin Hill district with uninterrupted vistas across the sublime west coast of Phuket, Villa Baan Phu Prana is a hallowed destination. Presiding over Surin and Bang Tao, there are few more desirable environs in which to find serene sanctuary from the bustle of modern-day life. Retreat to a hilltop and nestle into this secluded enclave, A-list celebrity neighbors, and dense jungle landscape the only proximal presence of this discrete island idyll.

Each of the ten bedrooms boasts an unimaginable panorama that epitomizes the splendor of this enchanting country. Sleeping up to sixteen guests, these are masterful suites fit for a king. Blending local antiquities with progressive artworks brings an irresistible allure to the interiors, while the 15m infinity pool is a capacious outdoor expanse in which to cool off. Whether seeking solitude in the comfort of your own indulgent bedspread or taking to the hillside terrace to admire the insatiable beauty that lies beyond, there are few more striking destinations than Surin.
 

Surin has retained its world-renowned status throughout the years thanks to an endless allure to the jet-set; well-to-do individuals seeking their own lap of luxury arrive for its tantalizing tranquility as much as the esoteric ambiance. Having returned to its fishing roots, the local village enjoys an understated charm that is a far cry from Patong, which lies just fifteen kilometers away. With a handful of inviting local restaurants to choose from and the famed Catch Beach Club in the neighboring Bang Tao, though the vibe may be laid-back, the offerings remain out of this world.

Alongside its genteel aura lie activities for all the family. Within easy reach sit all manner of go-karting and mini-golf parks to please the young’uns - days will be lost in such jovial surrounds. Equally proximal are no less than five world-class golf courses so, if there are any low-handicappers in the group, time will be well spent touring the immaculately preened fairways.
 

The expansive Villa Baan Phu Prana spans ten bedrooms of dreamy bliss, the first of which lies just beyond the entrance. Ensuite bathroom plus all manner of modern amenities, the contemporary nature of the space is unerringly welcoming. To the other side sits another mercurial bedroom suite: the sea-view from the terrace is mind-blowing, the hidden ensuite a tantalizing charm and a soft décor elegantly offsets the vibrant sceneries outdoors.

Ascend a floor and discover a sublime studio suite that not only enjoys superlative sleeping arrangements, it also boasts its own divine dining room, as well as a generous terrace for admiring the two dazzling beaches below. Three further suites share the same floor – each housing a contemporary décor, large bathrooms and wondrous ocean-view panoramas. Two recently-finished superior suites front the garden, while a grandiose standard room enjoys a similar style and sits nearby.

Above the second floor lies an enticing spa that includes a sumptuous sauna, steam bath, and yoga studio, as well as a separate massage room that includes its own shower. A divine setting for daytime rejuvenation prior to exploring the manicured gardens.

A floor up to the executive suite with its incredible view across the aquamarine Andaman Sea, as well as down to the beautiful Bang Tao and striking Surin. Its opulent outside bathtub is a fantastic sundown spot with its own exclusive vista; romance your other half from this lofty hideaway.

Below sits the infinity pool accompanied by an ornate wooden sala. Recline to a cool sea breeze as the sun sets on halcyon days. Or take to the terrace and embrace the warming sunshine as myriad tropical flowers release their calming aromas in a magical space that also neighbors the superbly equipped kitchen - a wondrous retreat for breakfast bounties.
