6 Adults
Personifying tropical living, the stylish three-bedroom Villa Makata 1 is all about the island life. A lavish 10-metre pool takes centrestage, sheltered on three sides and wonderfully private, while its three spacious bedrooms are spread over two levels.
Walking distance from Kata Noi Beach, the staffed villa is part of the exclusive Katamanda Estate on Phuket’s south-west coast. It can be rented on its own or combined with its twin Villa Makata 2 next door. For larger groups, it can also be rented together with any of the other villas within the estate.
Look up at the high wood-beamed ceilings or admire the Balinese furniture as you settle down on the cushioned L-shaped sofa in the living room. Or the kids can gather around the island worktop and watch in fascination as you cook up their favourite dishes in the modern, open-plan kitchen. Sliding glass doors entice you outdoors, where alfresco meals or barbecues can be enjoyed poolside, or you could dine in the air-conditioned comfort of the dining room.
Though each bedroom has a charm of its own, there’s something to be said about the master bedroom’s tropical bath. Featuring both a rain shower as well as an outdoor bathtub, it is the quintessential indulgence one seeks from an island haven.
For a change of scene, you could access the estate’s clubhouse, which features a fitness centre, tennis court and a pool. Or you could head out to Kata and Patong nearby, with their multitude of shops, bars and restaurants.

Location
Peace and privacy are assured at Villa Makata 1, set within the secure and luxuriantly landscaped Katamanda Estate with unfettered views over Kata Noi Bay. The white sands of Kata Noi Beach – one of Phuket’s finest – are just 800m away, while the larger Kata Beach lies just a little further to the north. Both Kata Noi and Kata Beaches are famous for lovely sunsets and excellent surfing conditions during the south-west monsoon months of May through October. Making the most of those spectacular vistas, some of the island’s best restaurants have sprung up on the beachfront and headland around Kata Noi. Meanwhile, the resort town of Kata offers several more dining, shopping and entertainment choices.
