Villa VimanThailand, Phuket

A centerpiece entrance and staircase descends from the foyer into the main lounge, the Andaman Sea glittering through the vaulted glass facade.

Clear doors slide all the way open onto a wide pool terrace wrapped around an infinity pool with sunken whirlpool and furnished with cushioned loungers.

A separate, covered outdoor relaxation sala and a dedicated al fresco dining space encourage guests to literally “live the view” during their stay.

Inside the villa, wooden floors, doors and ceilings match the rich tropical surroundings, while Asian inspired artwork, plush furnishings and inspired decorative touches add a sense of individuality to the villa’s homey ambience.

Clever design touches such as varied bedroom configurations and generous space allocations add versatile options for larger families and groups.

The bedrooms are designed in six individual sanctuaries, each featuring en-suite bathrooms and individual terraces to breathe in the ocean panorama whenever the impulse beckons. Unique additions such as hidden outdoor bathtubs add options for indulgent and exclusive private pleasure.

Younger members of the family are well catered for with a playroom attached to the kids' twin bedroom, where a foosball table and bean bags provide an entertaining space for children to gather.

An equally creative use of the expansive living spaces provides guests at Villa Viman with endless options for personalized diversion, whether it’s relaxing in front of a movie on the large projector screen in the AV room, challenging family members or colleagues to a game of table tennis in the games room, or working out on the elliptical trainer while you drift into the coastal vistas.

Villa Viman is tended by two discreet live-in staff: one chef and one housekeeper. The Samsara Estate front office team and villa concierge complement the villa's permanent staff to organize customized requirements and satisfy any holiday whims.
