The Inspiration Behind Villa Sammasan in Phuket

Interview With Owners of Villa Sammasan

Why did you choose to buy your villa in Phuket and at this location?

We bought the villa because it had an all-encompassing view from every room looking over the Andaman Sea, and you can walk to the beach. We saw many places, but they were in the mountains far away from the beach.  The house is perfectly positioned to capture the sunset each night, and you get an immediate view from every part of the house.

We also liked the clean, modern architecture, with its flow and design. There is a sprawling private master suite with its own balcony and Jacuzzi and lots of space. You can walk straight from the living area out onto the terrace and to the pool, so its central to the house.  And you can sit in the living room and see the pool, sala and view beyond. We also have a private TV room and secluded rooms with their own ensuite and balconies downstairs.

What is your inspiration for the villa design?

Sammasan looks outwards towards Surin Beach and the Andaman Sea and the headlands, one of which is home to Thailand’s top resort, the Amanpuri. So we wanted to capture the seaside with a beach house feel, a kind of Cape Cod design, with Thai influences. Hence you see lots of white walls, but with splashes of colour and art and design that inspires. You have a modern Poliform kitchen but with a traditional Thai sala. It’s the blend of the traditional with the very modern.

What features make Villa Sammasan unique?

The view, the spaciousness, the art, the location, the furniture, the colours inside complement the views outside. This all influences the mood. Anyone who appreciates art and design will enjoy this boutique villa.

What would you like guests to experience at your villa?

A home away from home in a fantastic location. A place to rest and relax after going out into the hustle and bustle of Phuket.  Enjoy the shade in the morning and then at the end of the day, watch the sunset over the Andaman on the lounges or in the outdoor sala. You can go out or you can stay in the villa and watch the beauty of nature unfold outside.  

Why do you think guests would select Villa Sammasan?

• Views from every room along with privacy.
• Quiet location but close to upmarket parts of  Phuket – bars and beach clubs on either side in Surin, Kamala and Bangtao Beach.
• A modern boutique experience with art and design.
• All the flexible space this beautiful villa provides.

Which dish cooked by Villa Sammasan’s chef is highly recommended? 

The private villa chef is amazing and we love when they take us to the local market to choose the fresh produce. Our favourite dish would be the Tom Yum Goong (spicy prawn soup) using fresh prawns from the market.

Breathtaking views, lavish spaces and friendly staff that will cater to all your needs. Experience all this and more when you holiday at this tropical getaway made for families.
